Product Introduction
The Yokogawa AMM42-S4 Multiplexer Input Module is a high-performance input module specifically designed for use with Yokogawa’s control and automation systems, particularly in industrial environments requiring high channel density and cost-effective analog signal acquisition. This module is part of the Yokogawa CENTUM series control systems and integrates seamlessly with its I/O subsystems.
The AMM42-S4 supports multiple analog input channels through a multiplexing mechanism, allowing it to monitor multiple field signals such as temperature, pressure, or level signals efficiently. The module offers high reliability, precision, and noise immunity—critical for demanding industrial applications like power generation, petrochemicals, and manufacturing process control.
Its compact form factor and modular architecture enable easy installation and system scalability. The AMM42-S4 module also supports hot-swap capability, facilitating maintenance and system expansion without interrupting process operations.
