Configured for serial communication processing in Yokogawa DCS networks, the YOKOGAWA NFLR121-S00 S1 (NFLR121 Serial Communication Module) provides direct physical/electrical execution. The hardware manages asynchronous data frame formatting and signal translation over dual RS-422/RS-485 ports to interface remote field units with primary control node backplanes.

The module incorporates channel-to-channel isolation with a 1500 VAC dielectric rating, isolating the internal bus logic from potential ground loop variances and field-side transients. Full EMI foil and braid shielding suppress noise pick-up across long-distance cable runs operating under RS-422/RS-485 protocols. Standard 4-20 mA HART loop and digital communications pass transparently through serialized field networks while maintaining strict frame synchronization.
Q: What is the maximum physical cable length supported without signal repeaters?
A: The dual RS-422/RS-485 serial ports support point-to-point and multidrop network runs up to a maximum distance of 1200 meters when using compliant shielded twisted-pair cabling.
Q: How is the serial communication protocol configured on the module?
A: Software parameters set the start-stop synchronization, ASCII/Binary data formats, 7 or 8 character lengths, 1 or 2 stop bits, and None/Even/Odd parity directly through the DCS engineering environment.
Q: What is the backplane current draw for this unit during active operation?
A: The module draws a nominal current of 500 mA directly from the internal system backplane power rail.
Insert the module into the designated slot of the DCS rack until the rear connector seats firmly into the backplane, then tighten the top and bottom retaining screws to establish frame ground continuity. Maintain passive airflow surrounding the chassis to keep operating conditions within the -20 to +70 deg C envelope.
Run RS-422 and RS-485 communication wires using shielded twisted-pair cables with a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms. Connect terminating resistors across the physical end-nodes of the RS-485 bus to prevent signal reflections over extended cable distances. Route all serial communication wiring through dedicated low-voltage wire trays, maintaining at least 300 mm separation from AC power lines and motor drive leads.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
