The Yokogawa AMM22C mV 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 low-level millivolt (mV) signals from multiple field devices through multiplexing technology, allowing up to sixteen measurement channels to share a common signal acquisition circuit while maintaining high measurement accuracy and reliable system performance. The AMM22C is widely used for precision measurement applications involving analyzers, bridge sensors, laboratory instrumentation, and other millivolt-output devices requiring high-resolution signal acquisition. It is a 16-point connector-type mV input multiplexer module for Yokogawa RIO systems.
