FAQ

Q1: Can the NFAI135-S00 handle both current and voltage inputs on the same module?

A1: Yes, but each channel must be configured individually; mixed signal types are possible with proper setup.

Q2: What is the conversion resolution of this module?

A2: The module provides a 16-bit resolution for precise analog-to-digital conversion.

Q3: Does the module support HART communication signals?

A3: No, this module is designed for standard analog inputs. HART support requires dedicated HART-enabled input modules.

Q4: How is channel-to-channel isolation implemented?

A4: Each channel is galvanically isolated to reduce noise and prevent cross-interference.

Q5: What diagnostic functions are available?

A5: It provides channel error detection, wire break detection for current loops, and module failure alarms.

Q6: Can this module be hot-swapped?

A6: Yes, it supports hot swapping when used within Yokogawa’s control system framework.

Q7: What engineering software is used to configure the module?

A7: Configuration is typically done through Yokogawa’s system engineering tools such as CENTUM VP Engineering Tool.
