Product Description
Overview
The AAI143-S50/A4S10 by Yokogawa is a 16-channel analog input module designed for precise current signal acquisition in distributed control systems (DCS). Each channel is fully isolated, allowing robust dual-redundant configurations and reliable HART communication with transmitters and valve positioners. The module enables simultaneous analog 4-20 mA signal exchange and digital HART variable communication with field control stations (FCS). This module is part of a series of eight HART-capable analog I/O modules, offering flexibility for various process control applications.
