Product Introduction
The Yokogawa NFSBT02 SB Bus T-joint with Built-in Terminator is a high-quality field communication component designed for Yokogawa’s industrial control networks, particularly those utilizing the SB bus system in FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Field Control Unit (FCU), and I/O subsystem networks. It provides a stable and low-noise physical connection between main and branch communication lines while ensuring proper signal termination through an integrated 100 Ω terminator circuit.
Engineered for signal integrity, electrical isolation, and mechanical durability, the NFSBT02 ensures reliable data transfer over long field communication lines. Its robust internal terminator minimizes signal reflection, ensuring accurate and stable digital communication between field devices and control systems. The T-joint is compact, easy to install, and built to Yokogawa’s strict industrial standards, making it a key component for maintaining network performance and reliability in distributed control systems.

FAQ
-
What is the resistance value of the built-in terminator?
The built-in terminator provides a precise 100 Ω ± 1% resistance for optimal impedance matching. -
Can the NFSBT02 be used on both ends of the bus line?
Yes, one terminator is required at each end of the bus line; the NFSBT02 can serve as one of these end-point terminators. -
Does the unit support signal isolation between main and branch lines?
The internal design minimizes interference and maintains electrical isolation through robust connector shielding. -
What type of connector does the T-joint use?
It uses a Yokogawa SB Bus standard connector designed for quick and reliable field installation. -
How does the built-in terminator affect communication stability?
It suppresses signal reflection, ensuring proper waveform shaping and reducing bit errors in digital communication. -
Is the T-joint suitable for use in hazardous environments?
While not intrinsically safe by itself, it can be used within approved enclosures in Zone 2 or non-hazardous areas. -
What is the recommended current limit when connecting multiple T-joints?
The total bus load should not exceed 50 mA per segment to ensure signal quality and compliance with SB bus specifications. -
How is the device mounted or fixed in place?
It can be directly connected inline on the bus cable or optionally secured on a DIN rail using a clip adaptor. -
Can it be used for retrofitting older Yokogawa systems?
Yes, it is backward compatible with previous SB bus network configurations and connection standards. -
What protections are integrated into the NFSBT02 design?
It includes ESD, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection to safeguard against network disturbances.
