Supports on-line module monitaring function
Program capacity
Supports 400 Blocks
Programming is easier with our intuitive function block programming.
The online module monitoring function allows you to confirm the performance while programming.

Backwards compatible with existing YS170 users programs.
Increased programming capacity allows you to create more sophisitated control schemes.

Connection modes: USB, Ethernet or RS485
When connecting via RS485 or Ethernet, a communication option is required on the main unit.
Supports parameter setting for all YS1000 models
Support for YS1700 custom programming.
Calculations done using Engineering units and Floating point math.
Includes over one-hundred computation modules for exponents,
logarithms, temperature/pressure correction, and other operations.
Function blocks (sub-programs) can be saved and reused.
Passwords can be assigned to user programs to prevent unauthorized access to proprietary programs.
A password on the main unit prevents unexpected changes in the engineering parameters.


The control output backup function comes standard with YS1000 series controllers (YS1700 and YS1500) and the Manual Station for MV Setting (YS1360).

With dual-CPU construction (main CPU and display CPU), manual control capability and display continues even if an abnormality occurs on one of the CPUs. If controller self-diagnostics detects a control circuit failure, the controller can suspend analog/digital output, switch to manual mode and allow manual control by operator. |
| Functions/ Failure area |
Main CPU fail | Display CPU fail | All CPU and Control Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control with "Hard manual" | X | X | X |
| Manual operation with front keys | X | X | N/A |
| Display for PV and SV | X | X | N/A |
| Control algorithm | stop | stop | stop |
Manual operation-"hard manual"Independent manual override is built into the control circuits, ensuring that control output can continue even when a control circuit including the CPU experiences a problem. *Comes standard with YS1700-1xx, YS1500-1xx, YS1360-1xx |

Nonvolatile memory is used for memory backup. Service life is improved because no batteries, backup capacitors, or other components are used.
The AC/DC (100 V /24 V ) power supply powers the instrument to provide consistent performance.Also accepts DC power regardless of polarity (specify 220 V power supply when ordering).
The YS1000 series achieves higher performance than previous models (YS100 series).
Use the YS110 portable manual station when exchanging or performing maintenance on a controller. You can switch to the spare controller without interrupting the control output.

Tougher environmental resistance.
The instrument can be easily connected to DAQWORX, SMARTDAC+, general-purpose SCADA, and OPC servers via Ethernet (Modbus/TCP).
Ethernet : Available to the YS1000 basic type. Modbus/TCP server function (one connection).
Connections are enabled using the FA-M3' s UT link module and the RS485 communication function. No programming is necessary to exchange data between the instrument and the FA-M3.

External AI: 3 inputs External AO: 1 outputs External DI: 4 points External DO: 4 points |
Note: An interface for the additional Expandable I/O cannot be added after delivery. If there is a possibility that extra input/outputs will be needed, we recommend that you start with the basic model (with expansion I/O).
As with previous models, communication with Yokogawa's DCS (CENTUM) is supported. This is ideal for DCS backup in chemical plants and other applications requiring extreamly high reliability.
Applicable Models: YS1700,YS1500,YS1350,and YS1360
With peer-to-peer communication, up to 32 YS1700 can be connected interchangeably. Four of the connected instruments can each output 4 points of analog data and 16 points of status data.
This makes data exchange and I/O sharing possible since all instruments under peer-to-peer communications can read all data (16 analog and 64 status data).
| Maximum no. of connections | 32 |
|---|---|
| No. of receiving units | 32 |
| No. of transmitting units | 4 |
| Transmitted data | 4 analog and 16 status data per transmitting YS1700 |
| Communication interval | 200 ms average (not synchronized to the control computation interval) |
Self-tuning (STC)
Simplifies tuning when starting up or changing the process unit under control.


Flexible DI/DO
The YS1700/YS1500’s six DI/DO terminals can be used for both input and output.
Programmable function key
With a user program, the program function key (PF key) on the instrument’s front panel can be used as an ON/OFF switch for self-tuning, or as a Start button for sequence operation.
