Model system and core specifications

（1） Model classification logic

This series of terminal blocks is divided into two core series based on redundancy design. Each series is subdivided into specific models according to application types. The suffix code for all models is fixed at -0, with no other optional configurations. The classification logic is clear, making it easy for users to quickly select according to their actual needs

Single series: The model suffix is "S", suitable for conventional industrial scenarios without redundancy requirements, with a simple structure and controllable cost

Dual Redundancy Series: The model suffix is "D" and is suitable for critical industrial scenarios that require extremely high system stability and reliability (such as core control links in industries such as chemical, power, and petroleum). The dual redundancy design ensures signal continuity in the event of a failure

（3） Summary of Key Characteristics of Specifications

Channel number pattern:

8-channel models: a total of 8 types (4 single channel+4 dual redundant), covering analog input/output RTD/POT、 Four major categories of applications for digital output, meeting most conventional signal transmission needs

16 channel models: 4 types in total (2 single channel+2 dual redundant), only suitable for thermocouple/mV and digital input applications, suitable for scenarios requiring high-density signal acquisition, reducing the number of terminal block installations

Reason for weight difference: The single channel series is uniformly 0.2kg, and the dual redundancy series is uniformly 0.3kg. The weight increase is due to the additional hardware components such as circuits and wiring terminals required for the dual redundancy design, ensuring the implementation of redundancy functions

Module adaptation uniqueness: Each terminal block model corresponds to only one specific I/O module and cannot be mixed across models to avoid signal transmission failures or equipment damage caused by module and terminal block incompatibility

External dimensions and installation compatibility

（1） Size specification classification

The size of the terminal block is directly related to the redundancy design, and all models within the same series have identical dimensions for standardized installation layout. The specific specifications are as follows:

Series types include model size parameters (unit: mm), reference drawings, installation and adaptation scenarios

Single channel series ATSA3S, ATSS3S, ATST4S, ATSR3S, ATSB4S, ATSD3S length x width x height: 32.6 x 60.5 x 114 F02E.ai is suitable for control cabinet layouts with limited installation space and no need for redundant design, and can be densely arranged

The dual redundant series ATSA3D, ATSS3D, ATST4D, ATSR3D, ATSB4D, ATSD3D length x width x height: 65.6 x 72 x 114 F05E.ai is suitable for the layout of control cabinets in critical control areas and requires a certain amount of installation space to ensure the heat dissipation and maintenance convenience of redundant components

（2） Dimensional design features

Height uniformity: All models have a height of 114mm, which facilitates the planning of installation positions according to the floor height inside the standard control cabinet and improves the cleanliness of the installation layout

Width differentiation: The width of the dual redundant series (72mm) is greater than that of the single channel series (60.5mm), and the length (65.6mm) is greater than that of the single channel series (32.6mm), adapting to the spatial requirements of its internal redundant structure

Standardized design: The dimensions comply with industrial equipment installation specifications and can seamlessly adapt to other supporting equipment of the Yokogawa CENTUM VP system (such as I/O modules, control cabinet rails, etc.), reducing installation difficulty

Model coding rules and ordering requirements

（1） Detailed explanation of coding rules

Explanation of optional/fixed values for the meaning of coding components

The prefix (such as ATSA, ATSS, etc.) application type identification ATSA (analog input), ATSS (analog output), ATST (thermocouple/mV), ATSR (RTD/PAT), ATSB (digital input), ATSD (digital output) prefix directly corresponds to the core application functions of the terminal block, making it easy to quickly identify

Intermediate numbers (such as 3S, 3D, 4S, 4D, etc.) indicate the number of channels and redundancy types. 3S (8 channels+single channel), 3D (8 channels+double redundancy), 4S (16 channels+single channel), 4D (16 channels+double redundancy) numbers "3" correspond to 8 channels, and "4" corresponds to 16 channels; The letters "S" and "D" distinguish redundant types

Suffix code configuration identifier -0 (fixed value) All models use a unified suffix code, with no additional optional configurations, simplifying the selection and ordering process

（2） Ordering requirements

Users need to specify the complete model (including suffix code) when placing an order, for example:

Conventional simulation input scenario: Order "ATSA3S-0"

Key scenario digital output: Order "ATSD3D-0"

Due to the fixed suffix code of -0, the core needs to confirm the model body composed of the prefix and the middle digit to ensure a complete match with the actual application type, channel number, and redundancy requirements.
