YOKOGAWA YS150-012/A06
Product Introduction:
The YS150-012/A06 is a legacy-generation single-loop PID controller from Yokogawa’s YS150 series. It is a compact 1/16 DIN controller designed for basic ON/OFF and PID control applications. The 012 in the model number indicates: 0 = relay output / 1 = alarm output count / 2 = input type variant. The /A06 suffix specifies the faceplate and configuration. The YS150 is a cost-effective solution for simple temperature and process control.

- Agriculture — Greenhouse climate control
- Small Process Plants — Simple tank level/temperature control
Installation Requirements:
- Panel cutout: 45 mm × 45 mm
- Use 3-wire RTD configuration for Pt100 inputs
- For 4–20mA inputs, ensure loop power supply voltage ≥ 18 VDC
- Keep input wiring away from power cables (minimum 100 mm separation)
Precautions:
- Do not use for safety-critical (SIL) applications — this is a basic controller
- Maximum load on relay: 3 A resistive, 1.5 A inductive at 250 VAC
- Do not exceed 125 VDC or 250 VAC across relay contacts
- Replace controller if front panel display becomes unreadable (indicates internal degradation)
