Product Introduction
The AIP171 is a transceiver control module designed for Yokogawa’s distributed control systems. Its job is to manage communication between transceivers and repeaters on the V‑Net network, maintaining signal integrity, enabling remote / extended connections, allowing diagnostic features, and supporting redundancy. It is built for industrial settings, with moderate environmental tolerances and a compact physical form.
Applications
-
Acting as a communication intermediary (transceiver / repeater control) in DCS networks
-
Extending communication range of V‑Net links or balancing signal strength over longer distances
-
Environments where reliability and diagnostics are required (e.g. power plants, oil & gas, chemical process industries)
-
Systems where space is constrained, but modular replacement / maintenance is expected
-
Upgrades or retrofits of existing DCS installations that need enhanced communication modules
Advantages
-
Compact size and light weight (≈ 0.20 kg) simplifies installation and reduces mechanical load
-
Standard 24 V DC operating power, common in control cabinets
-
Temperature range that covers many typical industrial ambient conditions (‑20 to +60 °C)
-
Communication interface options (V‑Net, RS‑485 etc.) provide flexibility
-
Diagnostic / status reporting helps detect communication faults early
-
Physical dimensions make it easy to replace or add to existing card slots

Q1: What power supply voltage does AIP171 require?
A1: It requires 24 V DC (standard supply in many Yokogawa control cabinets).
Q2: What is the operating temperature range?
A2: Typically ‑20 °C to +60 °C in non‑condensing conditions.
Q3: How heavy is AIP171 & what are its physical dimensions?
A3: Weight is about 0.20 kg. Dimensions are approximately 12.7 cm wide × 17.8 cm high × 2.5 cm deep.
Q4: What communication interfaces does it support?
A4: It supports V‑Net, RS‑485; some listings also include possible RS‑232 or Ethernet in certain versions.
Q5: What is the module’s role in network communication?
A5: It acts as a transceiver control module or repeater / relay of signals between V‑Net repeaters and transceivers, helping maintain network integrity and reach.
Q6: Can it be used for redundant communication networks?
A6: Yes—some configurations support redundancy (pairing modules) to improve reliability in case of module or link failure.
Q7: What is the acceptable storage temperature for the module?
A7: Storage temperature is around ‑20 °C to +70 °C in many listings.
Q8: How good is its diagnostic or status indication capability?
A8: It includes status or diagnostic capability in many versions, enabling detection of communication faults or module status visually or via system monitoring.
Q9: Are there special mounting requirements?
A9: It is card/module style; mounted in racks or DCS cabinets; attention to ventilation and ambient conditions helps ensure long life.
Q10: What is the maximum distance / performance capability for communication?
A10: Data rate is reportedly up to 10 Mbps in some listings; the transceiver link helps extend range of V‑Net communication through repeaters. Exact maximum distance depends on cable type, network design, and environmental conditions.
