The AIP423 serves as a high-performance communication interface within Yokogawa CENTUM VP and CS 3000 DCS architectures. Acting as a critical node in the V-net communication network, it ensures deterministic, low-latency data exchange between Field Control Stations (FCS), Human Interface Stations (HIS), and other V-net components. It is engineered for mission-critical industrial environments, offering high reliability, redundancy support, and seamless system integration.

Deterministic Communication: Ensures timely delivery of control and status signals, avoiding collisions common in standard Ethernet.
High Availability: Supports redundant V-net architectures with "bumpless" switchover, maintaining communication even if a module or segment fails.
Hybrid Integration: Can interface legacy V-net segments with modern V-net IP networks via specialized bus converters.
Robust Industrial Design: EMI/RFI shielding and S1 hardware style optimize reliability and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).
Can the AIP423 be hot-swapped?
Yes. In a redundant configuration, the module can be replaced without shutting down the system if the partner module is active.
Maximum supported distance?
Standard V-net segment: 500 meters using coaxial cable; distances can be extended with repeaters or optical converters.
Compatibility with V-net IP?
The module is primarily for classic V-net (coaxial), but can bridge into hybrid V-net IP setups using bus converters.
