Description
Product Overview
The Yokogawa AAI143-H50-S1 is a 16-channel galvanically isolated analog input module for the Yokogawa CENTUM VP FIO (Field I/O) DCS system. This HART-enabled module receives 4–20mA analog signals from 2-wire and 4-wire HART smart transmitters used to measure pressure, temperature, flow, liquid level and other process variables. It converts analog field signals into digital data and transmits them to the CENTUM VP control station. Each channel has independent galvanic isolation to minimize crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in noisy industrial environments. The suffix H50-S1 indicates HART 7 capability plus ISA G3 conformal coating for corrosive plant environments. The module supports hot swapping and comprehensive per-channel diagnostics including open circuit detection and over-range alarms. It is widely stocked as a drop-in spare I/O module for refineries, petrochemical, chemical, power and pulp & paper plants.
