The Yokogawa SPW481 is an AC-DC power supply module used in Yokogawa CENTUM VP / CENTUM CS / ProSafe-RS systems.
It provides stable system power (DC bus supply) for critical automation components such as:
- Field Control Units (FCU)
- Safety Control Stations (SCS)
- ESB bus / FIO systems
- Remote I/O and controller racks
It is part of Yokogawa’s SPW/PW48x power supply family, designed for high-reliability industrial control systems with redundancy support.
