Yokogawa CP333D-S1
Product Introduction:
The CP333D-S1 is a dual-port Ethernet communication processor card for the CENTUM VP DCS by Yokogawa. It provides Vnet/IP and Ethernet/IP communication between the CENTUM VP controller and other systems (SCADA, HIS, MES, OPC servers). The suffix “-S1” denotes the specific firmware/configuration variant for the S1 series communication profile.

Working Principle:
The CP333D-S1 receives process data from the CENTUM VP controller via the Vnet/IP backbone through the system backplane. An embedded Ethernet processor (ARM or equivalent) handles protocol conversion: Vnet/IP packets are converted to Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, or OPC formats. The dual Ethernet ports provide redundant network paths; if one port fails, traffic automatically switches to the other within < 50 ms. Isolation is maintained via magnetics (transformer isolation) on each Ethernet port.
Advantages & Highlights:
- Dual Ethernet ports provide network redundancy without additional hardware
- Built-in OPC server eliminates need for third-party OPC software
- Vnet/IP to Ethernet/IP gateway enables seamless integration with non-Yokogawa systems
- Ring redundancy ensures zero-downtime network failover
- Hot-swap capable in CENTUM VP system
Applicable Industries:
Oil & Gas, Chemical, Petrochemical, Power Generation, Pharmaceutical, Water & Wastewater, Manufacturing
Installation Requirements:
- Install in CENTUM VP card cage (e.g., VB3201, VB4101)
- Assign IP addresses via System View engineering software
- Use Category 5e or higher shielded Ethernet cable
- Connect to managed Ethernet switch for VLAN configuration
- Verify network redundancy path in System View before commissioning
Usage Precautions:
- Do not connect to unmanaged switches in ring topology; use managed switches with RSTP/MRP
- Set static IP addresses for both ports; do not use DHCP in production
- Maximum cable length: 100 m per segment (use fiber media converter for longer runs)
- Update firmware only via Yokogawa approved procedure using System View
- Maintain ambient temperature below +55°C in the card cage
