Yokogawa AVR10D-Q22020 – Vnet/Vnet/IP Router for CENTUM system bridging and phased migration

The Yokogawa AVR10D-Q22020 is part of the AVR10 family that, in many cases, is used to bridge legacy V net segments with modern Vnet/IP networks within CENTUM CS 3000 and CENTUM VP architectures. One thing I appreciate is how it lets plants migrate controllers and I/O step-by-step, while keeping safety margins and network determinism intact. The “Q22020” suffix appears to denote a specific option set/revision; we typically match this exactly to your installed base so it drops in without surprises.

Key Features

• Vnet to Vnet/IP bridging – Enables legacy V net nodes to communicate with modern Vnet/IP segments, ideal for stepwise system upgrades.
• Redundancy-friendly design – Typically supports redundant configurations to maintain high availability during maintenance or switchover.
• Deterministic performance – Designed for control networks where predictable latency matters more than raw bandwidth.
• Diagnostics and status – From my experience, the AVR family provides clear status LEDs and system diagnostics that simplify troubleshooting.
• Cabinet-ready form factor – Fits standard control cabinets and works well alongside field control units and I/O bases.
• Migrates without disrupting production – You might notice that communication can continue while you revamp a controller or segment, which saves downtime.

Technical Specifications

Customer feedback from a refinery upgrade: “We kept our legacy V net running while moving new areas onto Vnet/IP. The AVR10D did the heavy lifting quietly—no nuisance trips, and switchover was clean.”

Application Fields

This model is typically used in process industries running Yokogawa control systems:

• Refining and petrochemicals – blending legacy CS 3000 islands with new CENTUM VP displays and controllers.
• Power generation – maintaining operational units on V net while adding new Vnet/IP turbine or BOP controls.
• Chemicals and pharma – staged upgrades to modern HMIs and historian networks without cutting over the entire plant.
• Upstream/midstream – unifying remote segments into a central Vnet/IP backbone while leaving proven islands intact.

Advantages & Value

• Lower migration risk – Bridge networks instead of ripping and replacing; keep production stable.
• Compatibility-first – Designed around Yokogawa’s control network behavior, which, from my experience, avoids odd protocol edge cases.
• Lifecycle savings – Extend the useful life of installed assets while adopting modern Vnet/IP where it matters.
• Service and spares – Easy to stock as a common node across multiple units, simplifying spares strategy.

Installation & Maintenance

• Environment – Install in a ventilated control cabinet; avoid vibration and excessive heat sources; keep ambient 0–50°C typical.
• Power & grounding – Use clean 24 VDC (if used by your style) with redundant feeds; bond to cabinet ground; separate signal and power wiring.
• Networking – Follow Yokogawa V net and Vnet/IP cable specs; use redundant rings or star topologies as designed.
• Firmware – Keep firmware aligned with your CENTUM VP/CS 3000 version; schedule upgrades during planned outages.
• Routine checks – Inspect connectors, tighten terminals, confirm LED/status diagnostics, and back up configuration before any change.

Quality & Certifications

• Manufactured to Yokogawa quality standards; typically marked with CE and RoHS conformity.
• UL/cUL marks where applicable by style/revision.
• Manufacturer warranty applies; our supply warranty is 365 days from delivery.

Suggested Supporting Components

• Yokogawa Vnet/IP industrial switches (redundant capable) for backbone stabilization.
• Dedicated 24 VDC redundant power supply modules sized for cabinet load.
• Shielded cables and approved connectors for V net and Ethernet segments.
• Associated CENTUM VP controllers/FCUs and FIO base units when expanding new segments.
