The Yokogawa AMM25T Current Input Multiplexer Module is a multi-channel analog input module designed for Yokogawa CENTUM CS and CENTUM VP Distributed Control Systems (DCS). The module acquires multiple current input signals through multiplexing technology, allowing numerous 4–20 mA process signals to share a common analog acquisition circuit while maintaining high measurement accuracy and reliable performance. The AMM25T is commonly used for monitoring pressure, flow, level, temperature transmitters, analyzers, and other industrial field instruments with current outputs. Proper installation, wiring, configuration, and commissioning are essential for accurate process measurement and long-term system reliability.
