Product Description
The Yokogawa AIP588 is a high-performance Vnet/IP communication interface module designed for the CENTUM VP distributed control system. It provides a deterministic, high-speed (1 Gbps) connection for Human Interface Stations (HIS), Engineering Stations (ENG), and peripheral servers, ensuring reliable real-time communication for alarms, control commands, and trend data.
With dual-port redundancy, the AIP588 supports the fault-tolerant Vnet/IP network architecture, allowing critical operational and engineering functions to continue uninterrupted during a single network failure. Engineered for industrial reliability, this module delivers consistent performance in refineries, chemical plants, offshore platforms, and other mission-critical environments.

FAQ
Q: How does the AIP588 differ from standard Ethernet cards?
Unlike consumer NICs, the AIP588 is tuned for Vnet/IP, ensuring deterministic packet delivery, dual-port redundancy, and hardware-level support for Yokogawa’s network management.
Q: Is the AIP588 compatible with all CENTUM VP systems?
It is designed for Vnet/IP systems. Compatibility depends on the workstation’s PCIe bus and software revision, so verify the HIS/ENG station specifications prior to installation.
