YOKOGAWA TAHXD16-3PEM – High-Density Digital I/O Master Module | CENTUM VP DCS Platform
Engineering Background
The YOKOGAWA TAHXD16-3PEM is a high-density digital I/O master module engineered for the CENTUM VP Distributed Control System (DCS) platform — Yokogawa’s flagship process automation architecture deployed across refining, petrochemical, power generation, and pharmaceutical industries worldwide. As a master module within the field control station (FCS) architecture, the TAHXD16-3PEM serves as the primary communication and coordination node for downstream I/O expansion modules, enabling deterministic, high-speed data acquisition and control output across complex process loops.
Product Positioning
Designed for procurement engineers and system integrators who require a verified, drop-in replacement or expansion component for existing CENTUM VP installations, the TAHXD16-3PEM delivers OEM-grade reliability without the lead times associated with new factory orders. Konmask.com maintains a curated inventory of genuine Yokogawa automation hardware, sourced through authorized channels and subject to multi-point quality inspection before dispatch.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
Within a CENTUM VP Field Control Station, the TAHXD16-3PEM occupies the master module slot of an I/O nest. It communicates upstream to the FCS processor via the Vnet/IP control bus and downstream to field devices through terminal boards (e.g., TB series) or marshalling cabinets. The module manages channel scanning, signal conditioning, and data packetization, presenting process values and control outputs to the FCS CPU at the configured scan rate (typically 100 ms to 1 s, application-dependent).
Signal flow: Field Device → Terminal Board → TAHXD16-3PEM → FCS CPU (via Vnet/IP) → HIS/SCADA

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the TAHXD16-3PEM compatible with CENTUM CS 3000?
A: The TAHXD16-3PEM is designed for the CENTUM VP platform. Compatibility with CS 3000 depends on the specific FCS generation and backplane revision. Contact our engineers for a compatibility assessment before ordering.
Q: Can this module be used in a redundant FCS configuration?
A: Yes. CENTUM VP supports dual-redundant FCS configurations. The TAHXD16-3PEM can be installed in redundant pairs; consult the CENTUM VP Hardware Engineering Manual (IM 33J01B10-01EN) for nest slot assignments.
Q: What is the lead time for this module?
A: In-stock units ship within 3–5 business days. For out-of-stock items, lead time is typically 4–8 weeks depending on sourcing channel. Contact us for real-time availability.
Q: Do you provide export documentation for customs clearance?
A: Yes. We provide commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and HS code documentation (HS 8537.10) for all international shipments.
Q: What warranty does Konmask offer?
A: All modules carry a 12-month warranty from the date of shipment. Defective units are replaced or refunded at Konmask’s discretion after technical verification.
