Advantages and Features
- Redundant Power Delivery: YOKOGAWA PW481-50’s dual AC input channels and automatic failover (<5 ms) ensure uninterrupted power to critical DCS/safety systems, eliminating downtime from single-input failures or grid outages.
- Precision Voltage Regulation: ±1% output voltage accuracy for 24 VDC and 5 VDC outputs prevents voltage fluctuations that could damage sensitive CENTUM VP modules or disrupt process control signals.
- Comprehensive Protection: Built-in overvoltage, overcurrent, short-circuit, and over-temperature protection safeguards both YOKOGAWA PW481-50 and connected DCS components, reducing the risk of electrical faults in harsh industrial environments.
- Safety-Critical Compliance: IEC 61508 SIL 2 and ATEX Zone 2 certifications make YOKOGAWA PW481-50 suitable for hazardous process environments (e.g., refineries, chemical plants) where safety is non-negotiable.
- Seamless Yokogawa Ecosystem Integration: Pre-configured for CENTUM VP and ProSafe-RS systems, the module requires no additional calibration and integrates directly with Yokogawa’s rack architecture, minimizing installation time.
- Built-In Diagnostics: Real-time monitoring of input voltage, output current, and module temperature provides early warnings of potential failures, enabling proactive maintenance before power disruptions occur.
Application Fields and Cases
Core Application Fields
- Oil & Gas Industry: Refinery CENTUM VP DCS rack power, offshore platform safety system power
- Chemical Industry: Reactor control system power, batch process DCS redundant power supply
- Power Generation Industry: Boiler control unit power, turbine monitoring system redundant power
- Water & Wastewater Industry: Treatment plant SCADA system power, pump station control rack power
Typical Application Case
In a European petrochemical plant’s ethylene production unit project, the plant deployed YOKOGAWA PW481-50 modules in redundant pairs to power CENTUM VP DCS racks and ProSafe-RS safety controllers. During a grid voltage surge that caused one AC input to fail, YOKOGAWA PW481-50 automatically switched to the redundant input with zero interruption to the DCS system, preventing a costly shutdown of the ethylene production unit. The module’s over-temperature protection also triggered an alert when a cooling fan failed, allowing maintenance teams to replace the fan during a scheduled outage. YOKOGAWA PW481-50’s reliable performance ensured 99.999% uptime for the DCS system, translating to an annual savings of $500,000 in potential production losses [Product Link: Please supplement] (see the project’s power reliability report and downtime analysis).

Selection Suggestions
- Ecosystem Compatibility: Prioritize YOKOGAWA PW481-50 for Yokogawa CENTUM VP/ProSafe-RS installations; choose Emerson DeltaV power supplies for Emerson DCS systems.
- Redundancy Requirements: Select YOKOGAWA PW481-50 for critical process industries (oil & gas, chemicals) requiring <5 ms failover; longer failover times are acceptable for non-critical applications.
- Hazardous Environment Needs: Use YOKOGAWA PW481-50 for ATEX Zone 2 hazardous areas; non-hazardous environments may use standard redundant power supplies.
- Load Capacity: Choose YOKOGAWA PW481-50 (20 A 24 VDC output) for large DCS racks with multiple I/O modules; smaller racks may use lower-capacity modules.
- Spare Parts Planning: Reserve one YOKOGAWA PW481-50 module per 3 redundant power systems to ensure quick replacement in case of failure, especially in remote industrial locations.
Precautions
- Install YOKOGAWA PW481-50 in a 19-inch rack with adequate ventilation (minimum 10 cm clearance on all sides) to prevent overheating and ensure compliance with ATEX Zone 2 requirements (if applicable).
- Connect the dual AC inputs to separate power sources (e.g., main grid and UPS) to maximize redundancy and eliminate single points of failure in the power supply chain.
- Verify load sharing between redundant YOKOGAWA PW481-50 modules after installation to ensure balanced current distribution and prevent overloading of a single module.
- Use Yokogawa’s diagnostic software to monitor module health (temperature, input/output voltage) and set up alerts for abnormal conditions (e.g., overcurrent, phase loss).
- Perform firmware updates only via Yokogawa’s official support portal to avoid compatibility issues with CENTUM VP modules; back up configuration data before updating.
- Store spare modules in a dry, temperature-controlled environment (-20°C ~ 70°C) with anti-static packaging to prevent moisture or electrostatic damage to internal components
