Description

Product Overview
Part Number: AAI143-H50 Manufacturer: Yokogawa (Yokogawa Electric, Japan) Product Series: CENTUM VP DCS, FIO Field I/O Module Type: Analog Input Module (AI) AAI143-H50 is a 16-channel isolated analog input module for Yokogawa CENTUM VP FIO nodes. It receives 4-20mA analog signals from field transmitters and supports HART digital communication to read transmitter diagnostic data, tag information and parameter settings. It converts field analog signals into digital data and transmits to FCS controller via ESB bus. Widely used in petrochemical, power, oil & gas and chemical process plants for pressure, flow, level and temperature measurement. This module supports hot swap and can be configured for dual-redundant installation.

Engineer Notes
- AAI143-H50 belongs to FIO series I/O module for CENTUM VP, not compatible with old CS3000 system.
- Supports HART protocol, can read smart transmitter diagnostics without additional HART multiplexer.
- Can be installed as dual redundant pair; automatic switchover upon module failure without interrupting process acquisition.
- Hot-swap function allows module removal and replacement while DCS online, no system shutdown required.
- Use matched Yokogawa terminal board for field wiring; shield cable is recommended for 4-20mA signal to reduce noise.
- Check module LED indicators for power, communication and channel fault status during commissioning and maintenance.
- Each channel supports open-circuit detection for field transmitter cable break alarm.
