• Environmental Resilience: Surge protection and wide operating temperature (-20°C to +60°C) for harsh industrial conditions, including outdoor installations.

• Compact Design: Space-saving form factor simplifies panel layouts in modular control systems.

• Easy Integration: Plug-and-play setup with Yokogawa DCS (CENTUM CS/VP) minimizes configuration time.

Product Description

The Yokogawa AIP571 is a high-performance Electrical Transceiver RIO (Remote Input/Output) Module designed for industrial automation systems. Serving as a communication bridge between field devices and control units, it supports dual-redundant ESB (Expansion Serial Bus) configurations, ensuring reliable data transfer for critical applications.

The module is compatible with multiple communication protocols (RS-485, Modbus RTU, Foundation Fieldbus) and includes robust surge protection for safe operation in harsh environments, such as oil & gas, chemical processing, smart grids, water treatment, and manufacturing automation.

Its compact design (5.1 × 12.7 × 20.3 cm) and lightweight construction (0.3 kg) simplify installation and integration into existing control panels and remote I/O systems.
