4.2 Typical Cases
- Offshore Wellhead Monitoring: A Norwegian offshore oil company deployed YOKOGAWA PW401-S2 to power remote wellhead pressure/temperature sensors and CENTUM VP I/O modules. The module’s dual AC/DC input capability ensured uninterrupted power during grid outages (switching to backup DC), while its compact design fit into the limited space of wellhead control enclosures.
- Modular Chemical Skid: A German chemical manufacturer integrated YOKOGAWA PW401-S2 into skid-mounted reactor systems to supply power to ProSafe-RS safety modules. The module’s 90% efficiency reduced heat generation in the sealed skid cabinet, and overheating protection prevented shutdowns during high-temperature operation.
- Water Treatment Plant: A U.S. municipal water treatment facility used YOKOGAWA PW401-S2 to power distributed I/O racks monitoring filter systems and chemical dosing pumps. The universal AC input simplified installation across multiple plant locations with varying power grid voltages, and the DC OK relay output enabled remote monitoring of power status via the plant’s SCADA system.

6. Selection Suggestions & Precautions
6.1 Selection Suggestions
- Space & Input Needs: Choose YOKOGAWA PW401-S2 for compact enclosures or applications requiring dual AC/DC input (e.g., remote oil & gas sites); select larger power supplies for high-current (≥10A) DCS/SIS racks.
- Hazardous Area Requirements: Opt for YOKOGAWA PW401-S2 for ATEX Zone 2 hazardous locations (e.g., petrochemical skids); non-certified supplies are suitable for safe-area installations.
- Monitoring Needs: Select YOKOGAWA PW401-S2 if remote power status monitoring (DC OK relay) is required; basic supplies may lack this feature.
6.2 Precautions
- Installation Guidelines:
- Mount YOKOGAWA PW401-S2 on a 35mm DIN rail or panel with minimum 5cm clearance for ventilation; avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Wire input power with appropriate fusing (10A for AC input) and use shielded cables for output connections to reduce noise.
- Configuration Notes:
- Adjust output voltage (24V ±1%) using the built-in potentiometer before connecting to DCS/SIS components to match load requirements.
- Connect the DC OK relay output to the plant’s monitoring system for real-time power fault alerts.
- Troubleshooting:
- For no output: Check input power, fuse status, and overheating (module will auto-recover once cooled); verify short-circuit conditions in the load.
- For unstable output: Inspect input voltage fluctuations (use a stabilizer if needed) and loose output connections.
- Maintenance:
- Inspect input/output terminals for corrosion annually and tighten loose connections.
- Replace the module if efficiency drops below 85% (indicates component degradation) or if protection mechanisms trigger frequently.
- Stock spare YOKOGAWA PW401-S2 modules for critical remote applications to minimize downtime.
