Product Introduction
The Yokogawa SEC402 is a high-performance ESB Bus Coupler Module that serves as a vital communication bridge within Yokogawa’s CENTUM VP and CENTUM CS 3000 Distributed Control Systems (DCS). Its primary function is to interface the Field Control Station (FCS) with the I/O modules over the ESB (Enhanced System Backbone) bus, ensuring high-speed, synchronized, and reliable data transmission across control networks.
Designed with a focus on fault tolerance, redundancy, and modular expansion, the SEC402 supports both single and dual-redundant bus configurations. It enables seamless signal exchange between the control processor and I/O modules, while also offering robust electrical isolation and diagnostic functions. The module is known for its durability, efficient bus bandwidth utilization, and compatibility with Yokogawa’s wide range of FIO (Field I/O) modules.
Whether deployed in batch control systems, large process industries, or compact automation architectures, the SEC402 provides the backbone communication essential for maintaining reliable plant operations.
