Product Description
The AMC80/ZCT is a high-density Remote Analog I/O Interface module engineered for Yokogawa CENTUM CS, CENTUM VP, and CS 3000 Distributed Control Systems (DCS). It serves as a versatile gateway for processing multiple field analog signals, converting and transmitting data between field instruments and the primary control bus.
Designed for high-precision industrial environments, the AMC80/ZCT supports standard signal types including 0–10 V DC voltage and 4–20 mA current loops. The module incorporates strong signal isolation and electromagnetic compatibility features, ensuring stable performance in electrically noisy environments. Its robust mounting structure and screw-terminal connectivity make it suitable for both new installations and legacy system expansions within the Yokogawa control architecture.

Application
-
Process Automation: Aggregates analog signals from pressure, temperature, and flow transmitters in industries such as petrochemical, power generation, and refining.
-
Remote Signal Distribution: Allows I/O points to be installed away from the central controller cabinet, reducing long-distance wiring complexity.
-
System Expansion: Adds additional analog channels in existing CENTUM CS or CENTUM VP systems.
-
Legacy System Integration: Supports modernization and expansion of older Yokogawa DCS installations.
Technical FAQ
Which cable is required to connect the AMC80/ZCT to the system?
The AMC80/ZCT connects to the Yokogawa control system using KS1-series interface cables (such as the KS1-10A) via the onboard CN1 and CN2 connectors.
Does the module support both voltage and current signals simultaneously?
Yes. The AMC80/ZCT can process both 0–10 V and 4–20 mA analog signals. However, each channel must be configured according to the connected field device and signal type to ensure proper measurement accuracy and system stability.
