PLCs, Power Supplies & Others

The Yokogawa ACM71 enables high-speed network connectivity for the CENTUM DCS. This module provides a standard 10BASE-T Ethernet port for plant-wide integration. Consequently, you can connect the control system to engineering workstations and servers. The module handles TCP/IP protocol stacks without burdening the main processor.

This communication module uses a twisted-pair cable with RJ45 connector. Therefore, it simplifies wiring and reduces installation costs significantly. The Yokogawa ACM71 supports both half-duplex and full-duplex transmission modes.

Technical Specifications

Many facilities pair this Ethernet module with protection devices like the RMS-TSG-TZ-C Static Trip for comprehensive system monitoring . The Yokogawa ACM71 excels in modern industrial network architectures.

Hardware & Interface Details

The Yokogawa ACM71 occupies a single slot in the Communication Module Nest. You need a standard Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors for physical wiring. The module includes link and activity LEDs for easy status monitoring. These indicators help technicians diagnose network problems quickly.

Furthermore, this module supports both static IP addressing and DHCP configuration. It provides built-in surge protection for reliable operation in industrial environments. The Yokogawa ACM71 also features automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection.

Installation & Power Management

This Ethernet module draws only 0.45 A from a 5.0 V DC supply. It stores negligible energy internally, allowing safe hot-swapping in most rack configurations. Engineers appreciate the plug-and-play setup for reducing commissioning time significantly.

You can configure all network parameters via the CENTUM engineering software. The operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 55°C for standard indoor control rooms. For electromagnetic noise areas, Yokogawa recommends using shielded twisted-pair cables.
