The Yokogawa VL100-DR1A-08 is a 16-channel Digital Input (DI) Module designed for the Yokogawa ProSafe-RS Safety Instrumented System (SIS) or the CENTUM VP Distributed Control System (DCS).
This module is a critical component for reading the state of field devices such as emergency stop buttons, pressure switches, flow switches, or any other critical safety or process-related contact. It is typically installed in a ruggedized industrial rack or node (like the N-IO node) to provide high-density digital signal acquisition in harsh plant environments. The "08" in the model number is a common Yokogawa suffix indicating a digital input function.
