Product introduction
The YOKOGAWA ALP111-S01 is a high-performance PROFIBUS-DP communication module meticulously engineered to serve as a vital link between the Yokogawa CENTUM VP DCS and external PROFIBUS-DP networks. As a core component of Yokogawa’s Fieldbus I/O (FIO) and N-IO architectures, this module operates as a PROFIBUS-DP master, enabling the control system to efficiently manage data from a diverse range of field devices, including remote I/O units, variable speed drives, and other smart instruments. The ALP111-S01 offloads the complex communication management from the main processor, ensuring that the Field Control Unit (FCS) remains free to handle critical control logic and process execution.
This module is designed for in-chassis installation, fitting directly into compatible FCS or node unit slots. This native integration ensures that all configuration, diagnostics, and operational data are unified within the CENTUM VP environment, providing engineers and operators with a single, streamlined view of the entire control system. The YOKOGAWA ALP111-S01 is also capable of supporting redundant configurations, which is crucial for applications where system uptime is a top priority.
With a single communication port that supports a wide range of transmission speeds, the ALP111-S01 provides significant flexibility for designing a variety of PROFIBUS-DP network topologies. It is fully compliant with the PROFIBUS DP-V0 standard and provides a robust, deterministic communication link. The module’s support for an ISA Standard G3 option makes the YOKOGAWA ALP111-S01 particularly suitable for deployment in challenging environments where corrosive gases are present, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
Core advantages and technical highlights
The YOKOGAWA ALP111-S01 stands out due to its unique combination of robust design, high performance, and seamless integration with the Yokogawa DCS platform. Its primary advantage is its ability to serve as a high-speed PROFIBUS-DP Master, supporting communication speeds up to 12 Mbps. This high-speed capability is essential for applications with fast control loops and large volumes of data, such as in factory automation and discrete manufacturing. The module’s ability to handle the intricate timing and data exchange of the PROFIBUS-DP protocol ensures a deterministic and reliable link between the controller and field devices.
Another key highlight is the module’s compatibility with dual-redundant architectures. When two ALP111-S01 modules are installed in a redundant node unit, they operate in a hot-standby configuration, providing automatic and bumpless failover in the event of a module or communication failure. This is critical for maintaining continuous operations and preventing costly shutdowns in process-critical applications. The module’s design for redundancy, combined with its high-speed performance, makes the YOKOGAWA ALP111-S01 a cornerstone of fault-tolerant control systems.
The ALP111-S01 also features an impressive environmental rating. The “S01” suffix signifies that it includes the ISA Standard G3 option, which provides enhanced resistance to corrosive gases. This makes the YOKOGAWA ALP111-S01 a highly durable choice for deployment in demanding environments such as petrochemical plants, refineries, and paper mills, where airborne contaminants can degrade standard electronics over time. This enhanced durability ensures long-term reliability and a lower total cost of ownership. The module is also easily configured using standard GSD files within the Yokogawa engineering environment, streamlining the setup process and simplifying diagnostics.
Typical application scenarios
The YOKOGAWA ALP111-S01 is an ideal solution for a variety of industrial applications that require reliable and high-speed communication with PROFIBUS-DP devices. A primary application is in the automotive industry, particularly in automated assembly and paint shops. Here, the ALP111-S01 is used to connect the CENTUM VP DCS to numerous PROFIBUS-DP remote I/O blocks, robotic controllers, and servo drives. The module’s high-speed data transfer ensures the precise and synchronized control required for rapid production cycles, while its support for redundancy guarantees that a communication module failure will not halt the entire production line.
Another common application is in the power generation and utility sectors. The YOKOGAWA ALP111-S01 can be used to integrate intelligent motor control centers (MCCs), breakers, and other electrical equipment that use the PROFIBUS-DP protocol. This allows the DCS to monitor and control critical electrical assets from a central location, enabling advanced load management and fault detection. The module’s robust design and environmental resistance make it well-suited for the harsh conditions often found in power plants and substations.
In the food and beverage industry, the ALP111-S01 is deployed to integrate a variety of field devices within a processing or packaging line. This can include intelligent weighing systems, quality control sensors, and motor drives. The module’s high-speed communication ensures that process parameters are monitored and controlled in real-time, which is essential for maintaining product consistency and quality. The dual-redundant capability of the YOKOGAWA ALP111-S01 provides an extra layer of protection, preventing interruptions that could lead to lost batches or wasted materials.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instruction
Installation preparation: Before installing the YOKOGAWA ALP111-S01, it is critical to ensure that the Yokogawa Field Control Unit or node unit is de-energized. The module should be installed in the designated slot for communication modules. For redundant installations, ensure both the primary and standby ALP111-S01 units are correctly seated in their respective slots. All PROFIBUS-DP wiring must comply with the standard specifications, using appropriate shielded cable and correctly terminated connectors. Before commissioning, ensure all PROFIBUS-DP slave devices are properly addressed and that their GSD files have been loaded into the Yokogawa engineering environment. This will allow the system to recognize and communicate with the field devices correctly.
