Description
The ABB AI810 is an analog input module used in industrial automation applications. It’s part of the ABB S800 I/O System, designed for modular and flexible signal acquisition in various control systems. The AI810 specifically handles voltage and current inputs.
Key Features:
- 8 Universal Input Channels: Provides 8 independent channels for measuring voltage or current signals from a wide range of sensors.
- Voltage Input Range: Supports a wide voltage input range of 0 V to +10 V or -10 V to +0 V.
- Current Input Range: Supports a wide current input range of 0 mA to 20 mA or 4 mA to 20 mA.
- High Accuracy: Offers high accuracy with a resolution of 0.1 µA for current inputs and 0.1 mV for voltage inputs.
- Short Circuit Protection: Protects the module against short circuits on the input channels.
- Isolation: Provides electrical isolation between input channels and the system bus for protection against noise and ground faults.
Applications:
- Process Control: Measuring and controlling process variables like pressure, flow, and level.
- Machine Monitoring: Monitoring the health and performance of machinery.
- Data Acquisition: Collecting data from sensors for analysis and monitoring purposes.
- Laboratory Measurements: Acquiring data from sensors in laboratory experiments.
Benefits:
- Versatility: Handles both voltage and current inputs from a wide range of sensors.
- Accuracy: Provides precise and reliable signal acquisition.
- Protection: Offers short circuit protection and isolation for enhanced system stability.
- Modularity: Fits into the S800 I/O system for flexible system configuration.
- Rugged Design: Built for harsh industrial environments with resistance to vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures.
Considerations:
- Input Type: Ensure the AI810 is configured for the correct input type (voltage or current) before connecting sensors.
- Input Range: Verify that the input range (0 V to +10 V, -10 V to +0 V, 0 mA to 20 mA, or 4 mA to 20 mA) is suitable for the sensor signals.
- Signal Scaling: Consider the need for signal scaling to match the input range of the AI810 with the sensor output range.
- System Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with the S800 I/O system and other connected components.
