YOKOGAWA RB401 has been built robustly with a rugged mechanism to withstand an operation temperature range of -20°C~70°C and 5% RH to95 %RH (non-condensing) humidity environment for reliable performance in harsh industrial surroundings. It features good anti-interference performance and long service life.

YOKOGAWA RB401 can be conveniently configured to the user's requirements for different applications, and is easy to set up according to actual industrial situations given a flexible system configuration in order that it adapts control and data acquisition.

YOKOGAWA RB401 enhances system scalability by enabling the addition of RB401 modules to conveniently expand the system to accommodate growing device connectivity and functional requirements.

Product Using Principle

RB401 establishes a connection with field devices through its supported communication protocols and receives analog or digital signals from field devices. It then conditions and converts these signals into a format that complies with the RIO bus protocol for transmission on the RIO bus.

Additionally, the RB401 can receive control commands sent by the control system via the RIO bus, convert them into signals that field devices can understand, thereby enabling control of the field devices and completing the entire data exchange and control process.

Product Application

YOKOGAWA RB401 can be widely used in process automation systems of chemical, petroleum and power industries to connect all kinds of sensors (temperature, pressure flow) and actuators (valves pumps), so as to realize accurate monitoring or production processes control.

In machine control systems within fields such as mechanical manufacturing and automated production lines, YOKOGAWA RB401 can be used to monitor and control the operational status and parameters of machines, such as motor speed and position, as well as the movements of robotic arms, ensuring normal machine operation and production efficiency.

YOKOGAWA RB401 can be used to collect data from various field devices and transmit it to data loggers or SCADA systems for data analysis, historical data storage, and monitoring, providing a basis for production decisions and equipment maintenance.
