Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the SAI143-S03 is the correct module for your application:
| Selection Criterion | SAI143-S03 | SAI143-H03 (HART) | AAI143-S00 (New Gen) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platform | CS 3000 / CENTUM VP | CS 3000 / CENTUM VP | CENTUM VP only |
| HART Communication | No | Yes | Optional |
| Input Channels | 16 | 16 | 16 |
| Signal Range | 4–20 mA / 1–5 V | 4–20 mA / 1–5 V | 4–20 mA / 1–5 V |
| Best For | Legacy CS 3000 systems | HART device diagnostics | New CENTUM VP projects |
| Availability | Refurbished / NOS stock | Refurbished / NOS stock | New production |
Decision Rule: If your system is CENTUM CS 3000 and you do not require HART pass-through, the SAI143-S03 is the correct and most cost-effective choice. For new CENTUM VP projects, consider the AAI143-S00 for longer lifecycle support.
