Introduction
The Yokogawa AAM21J (also AAM21) module is a versatile analog input module that supports millivolt (mV), thermocouple, and RTD (resistance temperature detector) signals, making it ideal for temperature measurement, process sensing, and multi‑sensor integration. Its broad signal compatibility — from mV level sensors to thermocouples and precision RTDs — gives engineers a flexible, all‑in‑one solution for analog input needs. Built to meet industrial standards and compatible with Yokogawa DCS/PLC systems, this module delivers stable, accurate data acquisition even in demanding process environments.
