Product Overview
The Yokogawa EB501-10 is a high-performance ER Bus Interface Slave Module, engineered for integration within the CENTUM CS 3000 Field Control Station (FCS) environment. It plays a critical role in the remote node communication over ER Bus, functioning as a slave module in remote node configurations. Designed for robust field network communication, the EB501-10 ensures reliable data transmission between local and remote I/O nodes in distributed control architectures.
This module is especially vital for users implementing remote field I/O configurations using the ER Bus, connecting distributed I/O nodes with minimal latency and high synchronization accuracy. It supports dual-redundant operation for enhanced reliability in mission-critical applications, aligning with Yokogawa’s commitment to system availability and operational safety.
