• Cooling: Passive cooling with optimized thermal design minimizing thermal load

Working Principle:
The CP401-10 functions as a communication processor that receives data from field devices through various industrial protocols, performs protocol conversion, and transmits processed data to the CENTUM VP DCS system. The 32-bit RISC processor executes communication stack operations at high speed, handling up to 10,000 data points per second. The module bridges Yokogawa’s proprietary Vnet/IP protocol with industry-standard protocols like Modbus TCP/IP and OPC. In redundant configurations paired with the CP401-20, the module provides dual communication paths for high-availability applications.
