Produkteinführung
The Yokogawa NFAI143 is a high-integrity Analog Input Module developed for use in ProSafe-RS safety instrumented systems (SIS). It serves as a critical input component in safety control systems, acquiring analog signals from field instruments such as transmitters and sensors and delivering accurate, fault-monitored input data to the Safety Control Station (SCS).
Designed to meet the strict safety, performance, and environmental requirements von modern industrial automation, the NFAI143 provides high-resolution signal conversion, robust input isolation, and full diagnostic capabilities. It is particularly well-suited for applications where Safety Integrity Level (SIL3) compliance is required, such as emergency shutdown (ESD), fire and gas systems, and other critical safety loops.
The module integrates seamlessly into Yokogawa’s ProSafe-RS architecture, supporting efficient engineering, maintenance, and lifecycle management while ensuring maximum operational uptime in hazardous environments.
