ALE111-S01 Ethernet Communication Module Yokogawa

Hardware Specifications

Process Control Ethernet Communication Features

The ALE111-S01 provides Ethernet communication functions for Yokogawa field control stations and connected subsystem devices. Moreover, the module supports multiple industrial communication interfaces, including FA-M3, Modbus, MELSEC, YFGW, DARWIN/DAQSTATION, and PLC-5/SLC500 communication environments.

The module uses an IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T physical interface with RJ-45 connection and CSMA/CD media access control. Therefore, it enables point-to-point Ethernet communication through 100 ohm twisted-pair cable connections with a maximum segment distance of 100 m.

For Yokogawa DCS installations, the module supports mounting on AFV10, AFV30, AFV40, AFF50, ANB10, ANB11, and ANR10 hardware units. In addition, the Ethernet interface operates with a half-duplex communication method and provides a single communication port for subsystem data exchange.

Field Installation Guidelines

Install the ALE111-S01 module only in compatible Yokogawa field control hardware listed in the system configuration documentation.

Ensure that the RJ-45 Ethernet connection uses the specified twisted-pair cable type and maintain proper cable routing to reduce interference from high-voltage or high-frequency equipment.

During installation, verify connector seating, module mounting position, and communication parameter configuration before system operation.

For industrial Ethernet wiring, separate communication cables from power lines and apply appropriate grounding practices according to the site electrical design standards.
