Model: NFSB401‑50
Brand: Yokogawa
Series: SB / ESB Bus Interface Modules
Type: ESB Bus Interface Slave Module
The NFSB401‑50 is a slave interface module for the ESB (Enhanced Safety Bus) network, used in Yokogawa DCS / automation systems. Its main role is to connect field control units or I/O modules to the ESB bus, receiving commands from a master and sending back data. It supports reliable, redundant bus communication and is designed for industrial environments.
This module is typically installed in control cabinets or node units, bridging internal control modules to the ESB network, supporting safe, deterministic data flow across multiple subsystems.
Below is a compiled specification table. Some values are derived from listings of SB401‑50, assuming “NFSB401‑50” is a variant. (No external linking)
