Product Introduction
The Yokogawa ALE111-S50 Ethernet Communication Module provides a robust bridge for integrating legacy and modern control systems. With its IEEE802.3 10BASE-T physical layer, this module ensures reliable data exchange at 10 Mbps using half-duplex transmission. Designed for point-to-point connections, the ALE111-S50 simplifies network architecture while maintaining high performance in harsh industrial environments.
Technical Specifications
The Yokogawa ALE111-S50 operates with an RJ-45 connector over 100 ohm twisted-pair cable (unshielded). It supports a single segment distance of 100 m between the FCS or HUB and subsystems. Media access control uses CSMA/CD. Current consumption is 0.5 A, and the module weighs 0.3 kg. Mounting is compatible with ANB10, ANB11, ANR10, AFF50, AFV10, AFV30, or AFV40 bases.
Compatibility & Integration
The Yokogawa ALE111-S50 communicates with a wide range of controllers and systems: FA-M3, Modbus, MELSEC, YFGW, DARWIN/DAQSTATION, and PLC-5/SLC500. This broad compatibility reduces integration complexity and allows for seamless upgrades in multi-vendor environments. The single port design effectively handles control data traffic between Ethernet networks and field devices.
Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the Yokogawa ALE111-S50, mount it on one of the supported bases (ANB10, ANB11, ANR10, AFF50, AFV10, AFV30, or AFV40). Use point-to-point wiring with an RJ-45 connector and standard 100 ohm twisted-pair cable. Ensure the cable length does not exceed 100 m per segment. No special tools are required, but confirm that the module is securely fastened to prevent vibration-related issues.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing the Yokogawa ALE111-S50, verify that your base type matches the mounting requirements listed above. If you need to interface with FA-M3, Modbus, MELSEC, YFGW, DARWIN/DAQSTATION, or PLC-5/SLC500, this module is an excellent choice.
