KS1-10*B Yokogawa KS1 Signal Cable (40-40 pins)

Hardware Specifications

DCS Analog and Digital Signal Transmission

Configured specifically for Yokogawa CENTUM CS1000, CS3000, and CENTUM VP deployment frameworks, the Yokogawa KS1-10*B ensures deterministic signal delivery across control station architectures. Furthermore, the continuous 360-degree shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference, protecting low-level analog inputs such as 4-20 mA current loops and discrete digital states from external noise sources. Consequently, the multi-strand tinned copper conductors maintain signal integrity across extended cable trays without attenuating loop resistance parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the KS1-10*B cable support live insertion (hot-swapping) in active control cabinets?

A: Yes, because it is a passive copper interconnect cable, disconnecting or connecting the 40-pin D-sub interfaces while the I/O modules are powered does not inherently damage the passive wiring, though users must follow standard loop safety procedures to prevent unexpected field trips.

Q: How should the drain wire of the shield be terminated during installation?

A: Technicians must terminate the integrated tinned copper drain wire directly to the designated functional earth (FE) grounding bar inside the cabinet to maintain optimal electromagnetic interference suppression.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Route the cable separately from high-voltage power conduits and variable frequency drives to prevent induced electrical noise.
• Secure both dual screw-locking mechanisms on the 40-pin D-sub connectors manually to prevent accidental disconnection caused by industrial vibration.
• Ensure the minimum bending radius of the flexible PVC outer sheath is strictly respected during cabinet wire management to avoid internal conductor fatigue.
