Overview

The Yokogawa AIP826-2 is a high-reliability power supply module designed to provide stable and uninterrupted 24 VDC power to I/O modules, controllers, and field instruments in industrial automation environments. Despite occasional mislabeling as a PLC module, its primary role is power delivery, ensuring continuous operation of critical automation hardware.

The module supports a wide input voltage range (100–240 VAC) and delivers up to 5 A output, making it suitable for global deployment. Its compact footprint (96 × 48 × 72 mm) and rugged construction facilitate easy integration into control cabinets, while its high efficiency reduces heat generation and power loss.

Additionally, the AIP826-2 is compatible with Yokogawa DCS platforms, including CENTUM CS, CENTUM VP, and ProSafe-RS, and is certified for use in regulated industries such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, and manufacturing.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Distributed Control Systems (DCS): Powers I/O modules and controllers in CENTUM CS, CENTUM VP, and ProSafe-RS platforms.

• Industrial Automation Panels: Provides stable power for sensors, transmitters, and communication modules.

• Process Control Systems: Ensures continuous operation in chemical, oil & gas, and pharmaceutical environments.

• OEM Integration: Used in custom control cabinets requiring compact and efficient power solutions.

• Retrofit Projects: Ideal for upgrading legacy systems with modern power supply hardware.

For example, in a petrochemical plant, the AIP826-2 maintains continuous power to critical control modules, helping sustain process stability and safety. It is therefore essential for system reliability and operational uptime.
