The YOKOGAWA ALF111-S00 S1, also cataloged as the ALF111-S00 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for deterministic digital fieldbus data exchange within CENTUM VP and CS 3000 Field Control Station (FCS) architectures. Mounted on compatible node units such as ANB10, ANB11, AFV30, AFV40, A2FV50, or A2FV70, the module interfaces host control software directly with field instruments operating on the H1 physical layer.

The hardware manages up to 4 independent fieldbus H1 segments, running at a deterministic transmission speed of 31.25 kbps. The module supports Link Active Scheduler (LAS) functionality and acts as a network clock master to execute scheduled cyclic transfers alongside acyclic field communications. Built-in bus terminators on each segment preserve signal wave shapes across fieldbus lines terminated via pressure clamp removable terminal blocks. Additionally, dual-redundant pair configurations inside a single node allow instant failover without dropping active H1 communications or disrupting cyclic schedule timing.
Q: How does the module maintain scheduled communications during a host controller failover?
A: The onboard Link Active Scheduler (LAS) maintains the communication schedule across active H1 segments independently of the host controller processor, securing deterministic field loop updates.
Q: What physical segment termination is required when installing the module?
A: The module features built-in H1 segment terminators accessed via the pressure clamp terminal block assembly, eliminating the need for external bus termination resistors at the module interface.
Q: Does the unit support dual-redundant mounting configurations within the node chassis?
A: Two identical units installed in designated slot pairs provide full dual-redundant communication links across all 4 segments without interrupting field device data exchange.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
