The Yokogawa VF701 is an interface module used in industrial automation systems.

It enables communication between a Yokogawa control system and other devices on a network. Here’s a breakdown of its key functionalities:

• Function: Acts as a bridge between a Yokogawa control system and devices on a network like PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) or HMI (Human-Machine Interface) terminals.
• Network Interface: Likely supports the Vnet network protocol, a Yokogawa proprietary protocol for communication within their automation systems.

Applications:

The Yokogawa VF701 is used in various industrial automation applications to:

• Integrate Yokogawa controllers with other devices on a Vnet network.
• Facilitate data exchange and communication between different automation components.
• Allow for centralized monitoring and control from a Yokogawa control system.
