Description

The YOKOGAWA AAI141-H50 S2 is an analog input module designed for use in Yokogawa’s distributed control systems, such as the CENTUM CS 3000 and CENTUM VP platforms. This module supports eight configurable input channels, capable of handling a wide variety of industrial signal types including 4-20 mA current loops and thermocouples (Type K, J, T, E, and others), making it highly versatile in process measurement applications. It is especially suited for industries requiring high precision and reliable data acquisition, such as power plants, chemical processing, and manufacturing where process stability hinges on accurate sensor input. The AAI141-H50 S2 stands out for its fast response time and high accuracy, key for time-sensitive control environments.

The YOKOGAWA AAI141-H50 S2 module features 8 isolated analog input channels, each capable of reading current, voltage, or thermocouple signals. The isolation prevents cross-channel interference and ground loops, ensuring signal integrity in electrically noisy industrial environments. It supports fast data update periods typically less than 10 milliseconds, making it suitable for critical control loops and rapid process changes. The module’s input range covers standard industrial signals like 4-20 mA, with a maximum allowable input current of around 25 mA, along with voltage input options up to ±7.5 V. Its integration into Yokogawa’s ESB bus node units ensures seamless communication with host controllers, simplifying system architecture while maintaining rugged performance in harsh industrial conditions.
