AKB336-M010 Yokogawa Signal Cable

Hardware Specifications

Signal Transmission and DCS Connectivity

The AKB336-M010 provides a physical signal path through its 20-pin connector configuration. Installers should verify connector compatibility and terminal assignments before connecting the cable to the control system.

For Yokogawa DCS installations, maintain separation between signal wiring and high-voltage power conductors where practical. This reduces the potential for electromagnetic interference in the signal path.

The supplied specifications do not identify a particular communication protocol, shielding construction, or channel isolation rating. Therefore, confirm these characteristics against the applicable system documentation before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What does the M010 suffix indicate?

A: The M010 suffix specifies a cable length of 10 m.

Q: What connector configuration does the AKB336-M010 use?

A: The cable uses a 20-pin to 20-pin connector configuration.

Q: Can the AKB336-M010 connect to any Yokogawa I/O module?

A: Not necessarily. Verify the connector assignment and hardware compatibility against the relevant Yokogawa system documentation before installation.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. Inspect both connectors for bent pins, contamination, or mechanical damage before installation.
2. Confirm the 20-pin connector assignments against the equipment wiring documentation.
3. Route the cable separately from high-voltage power conductors where practical.
4. Avoid excessive bending, pulling, or mechanical tension during installation.
5. Secure the cable to prevent movement or strain at the connector interfaces.
6. Verify connector engagement and signal continuity before returning the connected equipment to service.
7. Follow the applicable Yokogawa installation documentation for grounding and shielding requirements.
