ABB Ability™ System 800xA Select I/O

Product catalog summary

Overview
The ABB Ability™ System 800xA Select I/O is an Ethernet networked, single-channel granular I/O system designed for the ABB Ability™ System 800xA automation platform. It facilitates project decoupling, reduces the impact of late changes, and supports standardization of I/O cabinetry to ensure timely and cost-effective automation project delivery.

System Architecture and Features
- Signal Conditioning Modules (SCMs) are installed in a Module Termination Unit (MTU) with 16 SCM slots.
- Each slot includes a removable Field Terminal Block (FTB) for ease of maintenance.
- Features include built-in disconnect functions, field loop current limitation, and replaceable terminal blocks.
- SCMs are available for both non-SIL and SIL3 safety applications.
- The system supports simplified engineering, installation, commissioning, and late-stage modifications.

Hardware Selector and Product Range
Users can access the ABB 800xA Hardware Selector online to compare communication modules, controllers, I/O modules, network equipment, panels, power supplies, and voters. The selector also allows PDF generation and saving module outlines.

Select I/O Modules Summary
The data sheet provides detailed specifications for a wide range of Select I/O modules, categorized as follows:

  • Analog Input Modules: Various models supporting 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA signals, RTD/TC/mV inputs, with options for intrinsic safety (IS), SIL3 certification, HART communication (v7), redundancy, hot swap capability, and high integrity features.
  • Analog Output Modules: Single-channel modules supporting 4-20 mA and 0-20 mA signals, with IS and SIL3 options, HART support, redundancy, and hot swap.
  • Digital Input Modules: Modules supporting 24 V DC, 120/230 V AC/DC, NAMUR 2-wire signals, with SIL3 and IS options, SOE (Sequence of Events) support, redundancy, and hot swap.
  • Digital Output Modules: Modules supporting up to 3 A, AC/DC voltages, with SIL3 certification, HART, SOE, redundancy, and hot swap features.
  • Generic I/O Modules: Including high integrity modules and Ethernet FCI modules with 100 Base-TX connectivity, redundancy, SOE, and hot swap capabilities.
  • Module Termination Units (MTUs): Available for Ethernet FCI and Select I/O IS, supporting redundancy and hot swap, with fiber optic and copper media options.

Accessories
The system includes various accessories such as ground fault detection modules, grounding terminal bars, grounding termination modules, compact Modulebus extensions, empty slot protectors (for FCI, EA, GIO, SCM, HI modules), IP30 covers, screw lugs, and IS separators for I/O MTUs. These accessories support hot swap and intrinsic safety where applicable.

Spare Parts
Spare parts include Field Terminal Blocks (standard, 120/230 V, redundant, IS), Power Injection Terminal Blocks (standard and 120/230 V), and terminal covers. These parts comply with RoHS and WEEE environmental directives.

Mechanical and Environmental Compliance
- Most modules have compact dimensions (typically around 77.9 mm width, 105 mm depth, and 9.8 mm height) and lightweight design (ranging from ~40 g to over 1.5 kg for MTUs).
- All modules comply with EU RoHS, UAE RoHS, CN RoHS, and EU WEEE directives.
- Communication protocols include Ethernet with CAT5 or fiber optic cables, supporting cable lengths up to 27.5 km for fiber optic adapters.

Key Benefits and Best Practices
- The modular design with removable terminal blocks and hot swap capability enables minimal downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
- SIL3 and intrinsic safety options ensure suitability for safety-critical applications.
- Redundancy features enhance system reliability.
- Use of the ABB 800xA Hardware Selector tool is recommended for optimal module selection and project planning.
- Compliance with environmental standards supports sustainable deployment.

Limitations and Considerations
- Some modules do not support redundancy or hot swap.
- Intrinsic safety is limited to specific modules.
- Detailed module specifications and compatibility should be verified via the ABB hardware selector online resource.
