Product Introduction
The Yokogawa AAI841-S50 is a high-performance Analog Input (AI) module designed for use within the CENTUM VP or ProSafe-RS distributed control systems (DCS) from Yokogawa. As part of the FIO (Field Input/Output) subsystem, the AAI841-S50 offers 16-channel analog signal input capabilities with support for current signals (4–20 mA), often used in process control for monitoring temperature, pressure, flow, and other variables. It is built to operate in mission-critical environments where high availability, stability, and precision are required.
The module comes equipped with advanced noise filtering, high-speed sampling, and supports redundant communication paths. With HART communication compatibility, it also enables device-level diagnostics and configuration, making it a favored choice in the oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation sectors.

10 Detailed FAQs
Q1: What types of signals can the AAI841-S50 accept?
A1: It accepts analog current input signals in the range of 4–20 mA DC. HART signals can also be superimposed for compatible channels.
Q2: Is this module hot-swappable?
A2: Yes, it supports hot-swapping when used in combination with appropriate system configuration and redundancy.
Q3: Can I use all 16 channels with HART simultaneously?
A3: No. HART communication is typically supported only on channels 1 to 8, depending on configuration and firmware version.
Q4: What is the isolation provided between channels?
A4: The module provides isolation between individual channels and also from channels to ground, enhancing operational safety.
Q5: What kind of diagnostics does it support?
A5: It supports diagnostics such as wire break detection, open-loop alerts, and HART-based device status feedback.
Q6: Is it compatible with older CENTUM CS3000 systems?
A6: Yes, it is backward compatible with earlier CENTUM versions, though firmware and system integration checks are recommended.
Q7: How does the module handle signal noise?
A7: Through advanced digital filtering algorithms and hardware-level design, it offers strong resistance to electromagnetic and analog noise.
Q8: Can it operate in high-temperature environments?
A8: Yes. The operational range is up to 70°C, making it suitable for most industrial environments.
Q9: What happens during communication failure on one path?
A9: The redundant bus design ensures continued operation via the secondary path without data loss.
Q10: How do I update the firmware or configuration?
A10: Firmware updates and configuration can be performed through the Yokogawa engineering workstation or HART-compatible tools.
