Yokogawa I/O Module

Yokogawa I/O modules are electronic devices used to interface between field devices and Yokogawa's control systems. They act as translators, converting signals from sensors and transmitters (analog or digital) into a format understandable by the control system and vice versa.

There are two main types of Yokogawa I/O modules:

Analog I/O modules: These handle analog signals like voltage or current, commonly used in process industries to represent physical quantities like temperature, pressure, or flow rate.
Digital I/O modules: These handle digital signals, such as on/off signals from limit switches or pushbuttons.

Yokogawa offers a wide variety of I/O modules tailored to different applications. Factors to consider when choosing an I/O module include:

Signal type (analog or digital)
Number of input and output channels
Voltage or current range for analog signals
Sink or source capability for digital signals
Required level of isolation between input and output circuits

Yokogawa I/O modules are typically mounted in racks or cabinets, providing protection and organization. These racks and cabinets also house the power supplies and communication interfaces required for the I/O modules to function.
