AAI135-S00 | Yokogawa | Analog Intput Module

Product Summary

The Yokogawa AAI135-S00 is a 4-20mA Analog Input Module for the Yokogawa CENTUM VP / CS 3000 distributed control system (DCS). It provides 8 isolated 4-20mA analog input channels with individual channel isolation, enabling high-precision process variable acquisition from field transmitters, sensors, and loop-powered devices. The -S00 configuration is the standard module without the KS cable interface adapter, requiring separate procurement of the ATK4A-00 adapter or direct MIL cable connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AAI135-S00 used for?

It is an 8-channel 4-20mA analog input module for Yokogawa CENTUM VP / CS 3000 DCS systems, acquiring process variables from field transmitters and sensors with individual channel isolation.

What does the -S00 suffix mean?

-S = Standard type (non-HART); 5 = Non-explosion proof; 0 = Basic type. The -S00 does not include the ATK4A-00 KS cable interface adapter.

What is the difference between AAI135-S00 and AAI135-S50?

The AAI135-S00 is the basic module without the ATK4A-00 adapter. The AAI135-S50 includes the ATK4A-00 KS cable interface adapter for connection to terminal boards via KS cables.

What is the difference between AAI135-S00 and AAI135-H00?

The AAI135-S00 is the standard type without HART communication. The AAI135-H00 includes HART digital communication capability for smart transmitter configuration and diagnostics.

Can this module support dual-redundant configuration?

Yes — the AAI135 series supports dual-redundant I/O configuration when paired with dual-redundant terminal boards and appropriate system configuration.

What terminal board do I need?

Use AEA4D terminal board for selectable 2-wire/4-wire transmitter per channel, or AEA3D for all channels as 2-wire transmitter power supply type. If using KS cables, you must purchase the ATK4A-00 adapter separately.
