Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the AIP532-S1 is unavailable or end-of-life, the following models may serve as functional replacements or equivalents depending on your system configuration. Always validate compatibility with your CENTUM VP system version before substitution.
| Model | Manufacturer | Type | Compatibility Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AIP532-S2 | YOKOGAWA | Bus Coupler (upgraded) | Direct successor; check firmware compatibility |
| AIP531-S1 | YOKOGAWA | Bus Coupler Module | Earlier generation; verify I/O mapping |
| IM 153-2 | Siemens | PROFIBUS DP Interface Module | Cross-brand; requires gateway/adapter for CENTUM VP |
| 1756-DHRIO | Allen-Bradley | Communication Module | Not direct; requires protocol conversion |
| NX-PB0222 | OMRON | PROFIBUS DP Coupler | Cross-brand; engineering validation required |
Disclaimer: Cross-brand replacements require thorough engineering validation. Konmask.com recommends using original YOKOGAWA modules for safety-critical applications.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the AIP532-S1 be used with CENTUM CS 3000?
A: It is designed for CENTUM VP. Use with CS 3000 requires engineering validation — contact YOKOGAWA or our technical team before proceeding.
Q: Is the AIP532-S1 still in production?
A: YOKOGAWA periodically updates its hardware lineup. Contact us to confirm current availability and lead time for new or refurbished stock.
Q: What is the difference between AIP532-S1 and AIP532-S2?
A: The S2 suffix typically denotes a hardware or firmware revision. Verify compatibility with your specific CENTUM VP version before substituting.
Q: Can I use a Siemens PROFIBUS DP module as a replacement?
A: Cross-brand substitution is possible only with a protocol gateway and significant engineering effort. It is not recommended for production DCS environments without full validation.
Q: Do you offer expedited shipping?
A: Yes. DHL Express and FedEx Priority options are available. Contact us for rates and estimated delivery times to your location.
