Product introduction
The YOKOGAWA ALP111-S00S1 is a dual-redundant PROFIBUS-DP communication module designed to seamlessly integrate PROFIBUS-DP networks with the Yokogawa CENTUM VP distributed control system (DCS). This module serves as a powerful link, enabling communication with a wide variety of PROFIBUS-DP compatible field devices, including remote I/O units, drives, and other smart instruments. A key feature of the ALP111-S00S1 is its support for both PROFIBUS-DP Master and Slave functionalities, providing significant flexibility in network design. The “S00S1” in the model name denotes its capability for dual-redundancy and high-speed communication, which are critical for ensuring maximum system availability and data integrity in high-performance automation applications.
Integrated directly into the Yokogawa FIO (Fieldbus I/O) and N-IO architectures, the ALP111-S00S1 is an in-chassis module that fits into compatible Field Control Unit (FCS) slots. This tight integration ensures that all configuration and diagnostic data are unified within the CENTUM VP environment, streamlining engineering and maintenance. The module offloads the complex PROFIBUS-DP communication management from the main processor, allowing the FCS to focus on core control tasks.
With two separate ports, the YOKOGAWA ALP111-S00S1 can manage two independent PROFIBUS-DP segments. This architecture provides significant design flexibility, allowing for the creation of redundant network topologies that are resilient against single points of failure. The module’s robust design and support for high-speed data transmission make it a cornerstone of industrial networking, ensuring that control data is exchanged reliably and deterministically, which is essential for stable and efficient process control. The ALP111-S00S1‘s advanced capabilities position it as a key component for modern, high-availability automation systems.
Core advantages and technical highlights
The YOKOGAWA ALP111-S00S1 offers numerous advantages that make it a standout component for integrating PROFIBUS-DP devices into a Yokogawa DCS. Its most compelling feature is its full support for a dual-redundant configuration. This is not just a secondary feature; it’s the core of its design. By installing two ALP111-S00S1 modules in a redundant node unit, the system ensures that a failure in one module or its communication port will not lead to an interruption in process control. The modules operate in a hot-standby configuration, with one active and the other ready to take over instantly, ensuring a bumpless transfer of communication and maintaining continuous operation. This level of fault tolerance is indispensable in mission-critical applications where any downtime is unacceptable.
Another key technical highlight is the module’s high-speed performance. The YOKOGAWA ALP111-S00S1 supports PROFIBUS-DP communication speeds of up to 12 Mbps. This high-speed capability allows for rapid data exchange with a large number of field devices, making it suitable for applications with a high volume of data and fast control loops. The module’s ability to act as both a Master and a Slave provides an additional layer of versatility. As a Master, it can control a network of PROFIBUS-DP Slaves (such as remote I/O and drives), while its Slave functionality allows it to exchange data with a higher-level PROFIBUS-DP Master.
The ease of integration and comprehensive diagnostics further enhance the value of the ALP111-S00S1. The module is configured using standard GSD (General Station Description) files, which are managed directly within the Yokogawa engineering environment. This familiar workflow simplifies device setup and eliminates the need for external tools. The module also provides extensive diagnostic information, which is integrated into the DCS, allowing operators to monitor network health, detect communication errors, and identify device faults from a central location. This cohesive approach to diagnostics simplifies troubleshooting and ensures that potential issues with the PROFIBUS-DP network can be addressed quickly and efficiently.
Typical application scenarios
The YOKOGAWA ALP111-S00S1 is a preferred choice for industries requiring robust, high-speed, and fault-tolerant PROFIBUS-DP communication. A primary application is in the automotive manufacturing sector, particularly in body and paint shops. Here, the ALP111-S00S1 is used to connect the central DCS to distributed PROFIBUS-DP remote I/O nodes, which manage a multitude of sensors, actuators, and motor drives on the production line. The module’s high-speed capability ensures that the rapid cycle times required for robotic control and assembly processes are met, while its redundancy feature protects against production line shutdowns due to a communication module failure.
Another critical application is in the power generation industry. The YOKOGAWA ALP111-S00S1 is often deployed to connect a CENTUM VP DCS to intelligent motor control centers (MCCs) or variable frequency drives (VFDs) that communicate via PROFIBUS-DP. In this scenario, the module enables the DCS to precisely control motor speeds and receive real-time status and diagnostic data, which is vital for optimizing plant performance and ensuring the reliability of auxiliary systems. The dual-redundant nature of the ALP111-S00S1 provides essential security for critical systems, ensuring that power generation remains stable and uninterrupted.
In the food and beverage industry, the ALP111-S00S1 is utilized to integrate a wide array of field devices, such as weighing scales, flow meters, and packaging machine controllers. The module’s ability to communicate with these devices at high speed allows for precise batch control and efficient line performance. In all these applications, the YOKOGAWA ALP111-S00S1 provides a reliable, high-performance, and resilient communication backbone, enabling operators to achieve better control, improve operational efficiency, and enhance system uptime.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions
Installation preparation: Before installing the YOKOGAWA ALP111-S00S1, ensure the Yokogawa Field Control Unit or redundant node unit is de-energized. The module is installed in pairs for redundancy, and it’s essential to confirm the correct slot for both the primary and standby units. All wiring for the PROFIBUS-DP segments must be done using a specified PROFIBUS cable and terminated correctly at the D-sub connectors. Proper grounding and static discharge precautions must be followed. Before power-up, ensure that all PROFIBUS-DP devices are correctly addressed and that their GSD files have been imported into the engineering environment for the ALP111-S00S1.
Maintenance suggestions: The ALP111-S00S1 is designed for high reliability and generally requires minimal hands-on maintenance. Routine maintenance should focus on visual inspections of the module’s status LEDs and the physical integrity of the PROFIBUS connectors and cables. The module’s redundancy simplifies maintenance: if a primary module fails, the standby unit automatically takes over, allowing for the faulty ALP111-S00S1 to be replaced without shutting down the process. For troubleshooting, the detailed diagnostic information within the CENTUM VP DCS provides a clear view of network status, enabling rapid identification and resolution of any communication issues. Always consult the official Yokogawa manual for specific procedures for replacement and diagnostics.
