The Yokogawa DU100-21 is a 20-channel Universal Input Module compatible with the Yokogawa DA100 Data Acquisition Unit.

It expands the DA100′s capabilities by allowing you to connect and collect data from up to 20 sensors simultaneously.

A Distributed Control System (DCS) is a computer-based system used to automate, monitor and control complex industrial processes. It is typically used in large plants such as refineries, power plants, chemical plants, and paper mills.

A DCS consists of several components that work together to control the process. These components include:

• Controllers:These are devices that receive input from sensors and send output signals to actuators. Controllers use pre-programmed logic to control the process.
• Sensors:These are devices that measure physical quantities such as temperature, pressure, flow, and level.
• Actuators:These are devices that control physical processes such as opening and closing valves, starting and stopping motors, and adjusting dampers.
• Operator stations:These are human-machine interfaces (HMI) that allow operators to monitor the process, make changes to setpoints, and troubleshoot problems.
• Communication network:This network connects all of the components of the DCS together.
