Overview
The Yokogawa VI702 Vnet/IP Interface Card provides fast and reliable industrial network communication for distributed control systems. It connects controllers or engineering PCs to the Vnet/IP network, ensuring seamless data exchange within Yokogawa’s CENTUM VP and ProSafe-RS systems. Moreover, its high-speed 1 Gbps full-duplex performance enables real-time process communication with minimal latency.
Built for long-term dependability, the VI702 offers robust design, low power consumption, and easy installation through a standard PCI Express interface. Therefore, it helps engineers achieve stable control performance and streamlined system integration in demanding automation environments.

FAQ
Q1: What is the main purpose of the VI702 Interface Card?
A1: The VI702 connects a PC or controller to Yokogawa’s Vnet/IP control network, enabling high-speed, deterministic communication.
Q2: Is the VI702 backward-compatible with older modules?
A2: Yes. It is fully compatible with the earlier VI701 Interface Card for mixed network environments.
Q3: What type of cable is recommended for installation?
A3: Use CAT5e or higher UTP cable with a maximum length of 100 meters per segment.
Q4: Which Yokogawa systems support the VI702?
A4: The VI702 works with both CENTUM VP and ProSafe-RS control systems.
Q5: Can I install the VI702 in a standard PCI slot?
A5: No. The VI702 requires a PCI Express (x1 to x16) interface for correct operation.
