Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models

When the AIP562 S1 is unavailable or end-of-life, the following models may serve as functional replacements or equivalents depending on your system revision and firmware version. Always verify compatibility with your system integrator before substitution.

YOKOGAWA AIP562 S2 — Revised hardware version; direct functional equivalent in most CENTUM CS 3000 / VP installations. Preferred upgrade path.
YOKOGAWA AIP562 (without suffix) — Earlier base variant; compatible in legacy CENTUM CS environments. May require firmware alignment.
YOKOGAWA AIV542 — Alternative V-net interface module; applicable in specific station configurations. Confirm slot compatibility.
YOKOGAWA AIP562-S1 (refurbished/tested) — OEM-equivalent refurbished units; suitable for non-critical or backup applications with proper testing certification.

Note: Cross-referencing part numbers does not guarantee drop-in compatibility. Always validate against your CENTUM system revision documentation.

Why Choose the Original Model

Guaranteed firmware compatibility with CENTUM CS / CS 3000 / VP without additional configuration.
Factory-tested and calibrated to YOKOGAWA’s quality standards for mission-critical process control.
Full technical support from YOKOGAWA and authorized service partners.
Traceability — original parts carry full manufacturing traceability for regulated industries (pharma, oil & gas, power).
Warranty coverage — eligible for YOKOGAWA’s standard hardware warranty and extended service agreements.

Typical Applications

Oil & gas upstream/downstream process control (DCS backbone communication)
Petrochemical and refinery automation systems
Power generation plant control networks
Pharmaceutical batch process control (CENTUM VP platforms)
Pulp & paper and chemical plant DCS installations
Water treatment and utility automation

System Compatibility

CENTUM CS — Compatible (legacy; verify firmware)
CENTUM CS 3000 — Fully compatible
CENTUM VP R4 / R5 / R6 — Compatible (confirm with YOKOGAWA release notes)
ProSafe-RS — Not applicable (separate safety bus architecture)
STARDOM / FAST/TOOLS — Not applicable

For multi-node V-net topologies, ensure that the total coupler count and cable segment lengths comply with YOKOGAWA’s V-net engineering guidelines (IM 33S01B30-01EN or equivalent).

Selection Guide

Use the following criteria to determine whether the AIP562 S1 is the right module for your application:

Step 1 — Identify your DCS platform: Confirm you are running CENTUM CS, CS 3000, or CENTUM VP. The AIP562 S1 is not applicable to STARDOM or ProSafe-RS.
Step 2 — Check station type: Verify the target station (FCS, BCV, or HIS) supports the AIP562 coupler slot assignment per your system engineering drawings.
Step 3 — Confirm hardware revision: Match the S1 suffix to your existing installed base. Mixing S1 and S2 revisions in the same V-net segment may require firmware alignment.
Step 4 — Assess redundancy requirements: For redundant V-net configurations, two AIP562 S1 modules are required per station node.
Step 5 — Evaluate lifecycle status: If AIP562 S1 is approaching end-of-life in your region, consider migrating to AIP562 S2 during the next planned maintenance window.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ

Q: Can I replace AIP562 S1 with AIP562 S2 without reconfiguration?
A: In most CENTUM CS 3000 and VP installations, the S2 is a direct hardware replacement. However, a firmware version check is recommended before hot-swapping in a live system.

Q: Is the AIP562 S1 still in production?
A: YOKOGAWA periodically revises hardware suffixes. Contact Konmask or your local YOKOGAWA representative to confirm current production status and recommended successor.

Q: Can I use a refurbished AIP562 S1 in a safety-critical loop?
A: Refurbished units are generally not recommended for SIL-rated safety loops. Use factory-new or YOKOGAWA-certified units for ProSafe-RS or safety-instrumented systems.

Q: What is the V-net maximum segment length?
A: Per YOKOGAWA engineering guidelines, V-net coaxial segments are typically limited to 500 m per segment with up to 16 nodes. Refer to IM 33S01B30-01EN for exact topology rules.

Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. New units carry the manufacturer’s warranty. Tested-refurbished units carry a 90-day Konmask functional warranty. Extended warranty available upon request.
