Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Can the AKB335 Signal Cable be used with both AI and AO cards in Yokogawa DCS systems?
No, the AKB335 is typically designed for specific signal routing purposes. You need to verify compatibility with the corresponding I/O module specifications before using it across different card types. -
How does the shielding in the AKB335 help in noisy environments like substations or refineries?
The aluminum-mylar foil shielding with a drain wire significantly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring signal integrity even in high-noise industrial environments. -
Does Yokogawa provide customization for AKB335 cable lengths beyond standard offerings?
Yes, customized cable lengths may be available upon request through official Yokogawa channels or certified partners, depending on project requirements. -
Is there a specific bend radius that should be maintained during installation of AKB335?
Yes, to avoid damaging the internal conductors or shielding, a minimum bend radius of 6–8 times the cable diameter is recommended during installation. -
Are there any certifications (CE, RoHS, etc.) associated with the AKB335 cable?
The AKB335 complies with Yokogawa’s internal quality and environmental standards, and select variants may adhere to international standards like RoHS. Always confirm certification based on region. -
Can the AKB335 be installed in cable trays with power cables?
It is not recommended to install signal cables alongside power cables due to the potential for electromagnetic interference, even with shielding in place. -
What is the recommended storage condition for AKB335 cables before installation?
Store the cables in a dry, dust-free environment with temperatures between -10°C and 50°C. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or high humidity. -
Are termination instructions or pin configuration diagrams available for the AKB335?
Yes, detailed wiring and pin configuration guides are available in the cable’s technical documentation or the installation manual of the connected DCS module. -
Can the AKB335 cable be reused after decommissioning from an old panel?
Technically yes, but it is not recommended unless the cable is thoroughly tested for continuity, insulation resistance, and physical wear. -
Is the AKB335 cable hot-swappable in live systems?
No, signal cables like the AKB335 should never be connected or disconnected while the system is powered on, as this can lead to signal faults or hardware damage.
