Introduction
The Yokogawa ADV142 Digital Input Module is a reliable and industrial-grade discrete input interface designed for Yokogawa distributed control systems (DCS) and modular I/O platforms. This module captures on/off logic signals from field equipment such as switches, sensors, pushbuttons, and relay contacts, and converts them into conditioned digital inputs for automation logic, status monitoring, and alarm processing. Built for rugged environments, the ADV142 ensures stable, noise-resilient performance in process plants, manufacturing systems, and other industrial automation applications.
