Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 ESB Bus Coupler Module
01
Product Overview
Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 is a two-port ESB Bus Coupler Module for CENTUM VP Field Control Units. It acts as the ESB bus master interface, transferring I/O module data between a supported FCU and the node units connected on its upper and lower routes.
Through CN1 and CN2, Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 separates the ESB network into identifiable upper and lower branches. Each connector carries its assigned node-unit chain, while the FCU receives both branches through the module rather than through separate controller communication hardware.
Installed in slot 7, Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 can operate as the single ESB interface; fitting a second module in slot 8 creates the supported dual-redundant master arrangement. The -50 code identifies the standard execution without explosion protection and the basic option without ISA Standard G3 treatment.

03
Communication and Connectivity
Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 organizes one controller-side ESB master interface into two physical node-unit routes, so the origin of a communication problem can be checked against the affected branch.
FCU ↔ EC402
Master-side data exchange
The FCU transfers node-unit I/O data through Yokogawa EC402-50 S1. The module is the common master interface for both front connector paths, keeping the controller-side exchange separate from field wiring at individual I/O modules.
CN1 / UPPER
Upper node route
CN1 carries the upper ESB chain. Cable checks can remain focused on that route when the lower branch continues to communicate normally.
CN2 / LOWER
Lower node route
CN2 carries the lower ESB chain. Its separate connector preserves branch identity from the coupler to the connected node units.
04
Installation Highlights
Install Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 only after the product code, FCU type, slot arrangement and upper/lower ESB cable plan have been matched to the control-system design.
Confirm the execution
Check that EC402-50 S1 is the standard, basic-type module required for the project and that the selected FCU is one of the supported installations.
Prepare the FCU slot
Use slot 7 for a single module. For the dual-redundant arrangement, reserve slots 7 and 8 and keep both couplers associated with the same FCU.
Land the two routes
Connect the upper node chain to CN1 and the lower node chain to CN2. Keep the documented distance and connected-unit limits for each branch.
Verify communication
Restore the system under the site procedure, confirm both branch paths are recognized and investigate any failed route without disturbing the communicating branch.

Frequently Asked Questions
01Where is Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 installed in a Field Control Unit?
Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 occupies slot 7 for a single-module arrangement. A dual-redundant arrangement uses Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 modules in slots 7 and 8.
02How should the two ESB connectors on Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 be assigned?
Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 labels CN1 as the upper ESB route and CN2 as the lower route, keeping the two node-unit branches identifiable during wiring and checks.
03Can Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 form a redundant ESB master interface?
Yes. Two Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 modules can form the dual-redundant ESB interface when both designated FCU slots are used and the two bus routes are wired as the system design requires.
04What should be checked when an ESB branch on Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 stops communicating?
For Yokogawa EC402-50 S1, verify the affected upper or lower connector, the cable path, the connected node-unit chain and the FCU slot status before changing the unaffected branch.
05What node count applies to Yokogawa EC402-50 S1?
Yokogawa EC402-50 S1 supports up to nine connected units on the upper route and nine on the lower route under the standard connection arrangement.
06What does the -50 suffix identify on Yokogawa EC402-50 S1?
On Yokogawa EC402-50 S1, the 5 identifies the standard execution without explosion protection and the final 0 identifies the basic type without the ISA Standard G3 option.
