Configured for signal termination and bus branching in CENTUM VP and ProSafe-RS control networks, the Yokogawa NFSBT02 (NFSBT02 SB Bus T-Joint Connector) provides direct physical/electrical execution. The hardware operates as a T-junction to branch communication paths from the main bus line while utilizing an integrated physical resistor to match the system characteristic impedance. By absorbing electrical wave reflections at the bus boundaries, this passive module maintains signal integrity across distributed field processing nodes.

This bus branching hardware manages physical connection paths between field control stations and remote I/O sub-assemblies. The integration of the 100-ohm termination resistance prevents signal decay and standing wave generation on the SB bus lines. In compliance with high-integrity process control environments, the internal electrical layout features direct isolation barriers, maintaining isolation of 500 V AC to prevent ground loops from passing through the branch line to the primary bus network. It operates independently of the 4-20 mA HART loop protocol layer, focusing purely on high-speed digital bus termination.
Q: Does this bus terminator require an external power supply to execute signal termination? A: No, the unit functions as a completely passive hardware device containing precision analog termination resistors, requiring no external supply voltage or backplane power.
Q: Can the branching connector be hot-swapped or disconnected during active bus communication? A: Disconnecting this module during active operations breaks the SB bus circuit and removes the termination resistance, causing signal reflections and potential communications loss across all nodes on that bus segment. Disconnections must only occur when the associated bus segment is offline.
Q: What is the purpose of the 100-ohm internal resistance? A: The 100-ohm internal resistance matches the characteristic impedance of the Yokogawa SB bus transmission lines, suppressing signal reflections that occur at the physical end of the cable runs.
