Product Introduction
The Yokogawa PW101 Power Supply Module is a legacy-grade industrial power unit designed to provide stable electrical power for Yokogawa Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and related automation hardware. It is commonly used in older CENTUM and process control architectures where reliable DC power distribution is required for CPUs, I/O modules, and communication components.
Although considered an earlier-generation design, the PW101 is still valued in maintenance and retrofit projects due to its robust construction, stable output performance, and compatibility with established Yokogawa systems.

Industrial Applications
The PW101 is typically used in older or maintained industrial control systems where system continuity is required:
-
Legacy oil & gas control systems
-
Petrochemical plant automation (older DCS installations)
-
Manufacturing process control systems
-
Power plant auxiliary control cabinets
-
Retrofit and spare-part replacement applications
Its main value today lies in supporting long-life industrial systems that continue to operate beyond original equipment lifecycles.
