YOKOGAWA AAI143-S50
Main Features and Advantages
Expanded Channel Capacity
The YOKOGAWA AAI143 – S50 features 8 channels, doubling the channel count of the AAI141 – H50/K4A00. This expanded capacity makes it ideal for large – scale industrial applications that require simultaneous data collection from multiple sensors. In a large chemical plant, for example, it can collect temperature signals from 8 different reactors or pressure signals from 8 pipelines at the same time, eliminating the need for multiple 4 – channel modules. This not only simplifies the system structure but also reduces installation space and overall costs.
Consistent High Accuracy
Like its counterpart AAI141 – H50/K4A00, the AAI143 – S50 maintains ultra – high measurement accuracy. Equipped with advanced signal processing technology, it can accurately capture even tiny changes in process parameters. In pharmaceutical production, where strict control of reaction conditions is crucial, this module can precisely measure the temperature and pressure in multiple reactors, providing reliable data support for precise process control and ensuring the quality and consistency of pharmaceutical products.
Strong Anti – interference and Stability
The YOKOGAWA AAI143 – S50 adopts the same advanced isolation technology as the AAI141 – H50/K4A00, with 250 V AC isolation between channels and 500 V AC isolation between channels and the backplane. This effectively prevents cross – interference between channels and interference from the backplane. Additionally, it is equipped with high – performance filters and shielding measures to resist electromagnetic interference from the surrounding environment. In factories with numerous high – power electrical equipment, this module can still collect stable and accurate signals, ensuring the reliability of the entire control system.
Seamless Integration with DCS Systems
Designed to be fully compatible with Yokogawa’s distributed control systems (DCS) such as CENTUM VP, the AAI143 – S50 can seamlessly integrate into existing control architectures. It enables real – time data transmission to the central control room, allowing operators to monitor multiple process parameters simultaneously. In a large – scale petrochemical complex, this module can upload data from 8 different process points to the CENTUM VP system in real – time, facilitating centralized monitoring and timely adjustments, thus improving the overall operational efficiency of the plant.

Application Field
In the oil and gas industry, the YOKOGAWA AAI143 – S50 is widely used in large – scale refineries and oil fields. It can collect temperature, pressure, and flow signals from multiple pipelines and equipment in the distillation, hydrogenation, and other units, providing comprehensive data for process optimization and safety monitoring. In offshore oil platforms, its stable performance ensures reliable data acquisition even in harsh marine environments.
For the power generation sector, this module is applied in thermal power plants and nuclear power plants. In thermal power plants, it can measure parameters such as the temperature of boiler water, steam pressure, and turbine bearing temperature in multiple positions, helping to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the power generation equipment. In nuclear power plants, it plays a key role in monitoring the parameters of the reactor cooling system and auxiliary systems, ensuring the stable operation of the entire nuclear power plant.
In the chemical industry, the AAI143 – S50 is used in large – scale chemical production lines. It can collect the temperature, pressure, and concentration signals of reactants in multiple reactors and pipelines, enabling precise control of the chemical reaction process and ensuring product quality. Its 8 – channel design is particularly suitable for integrated chemical plants where multiple process parameters need to be monitored simultaneously.
