Product Overview
The Yokogawa ALR121‑S53 S1 is a serial communication module designed for integration within Yokogawa Safety Control Stations (SCS) and Field Control Station (FCS) platforms. It supports RS‑422 (point-to-point) and RS‑485 (multipoint) interfaces, enabling Modbus slave and subsystem communications with external devices such as PLCs and sequencers. Dual serial ports and support for dual-redundant configuration make it ideal for mission-critical automation systems.
