Product Description

The AIP851-A310 is a compact, high-speed coupler module for Yokogawa distributed I/O systems, bridging field modules with central control architectures. It supports Modbus RTU as standard and offers optional EtherCAT connectivity for high-bandwidth applications. With a response time <10 ms and data throughput up to 115200 bps, this module ensures precise, real-time transmission of process signals for complex automation tasks.

Designed for industrial reliability, the AIP851-A310 operates in temperatures from -10°C to +60°C, features a DIN-rail mountable IP20 housing, and consumes only 100 mA at 24 VDC, minimizing heat generation in compact control cabinets.

Industrial Applications

• Factory automation and remote I/O consolidation

• Signal communication to PLCs or DCS systems

• Pharmaceutical packaging, water treatment monitoring, and machine control

• High-speed EtherCAT networks for motion control or synchronized data acquisition

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is the AIP851-A310 compatible with third-party Modbus masters?
A: Yes. The module uses industry-standard Modbus RTU, allowing integration with PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems, provided communication parameters (baud rate, parity, etc.) are matched.

Q2: How does the optional EtherCAT feature work?
A: The A310 hardware build may include the necessary physical layer for EtherCAT. When ordered with this option, the module can operate in high-speed motion control or synchronized data acquisition networks, providing deterministic real-time communication.
