This industrial interface module establishes secure data links between third-party systems and the primary safety network using standard RS-422 and 4-wire RS-485 physical layer protocols. By operating with complete electrical and logical isolation from the critical safety loop, the module allows secondary devices, sequencers, and sub-systems to read variables without introducing risks to the protective logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePart Number Breakdown\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYokogawa applies distinct classification suffixes to indicate structural choices and chemical resistance treatments on their safety components.
