Function Features

• High-Density Channel Design: 16 independent input channels in a compact form factor, maximizing the use of cabinet space and reducing the number of modules required for large-scale applications.
• Robust Isolation: Channel-level and module-level isolation prevent damage from voltage transients, ground loops, and cross-channel noise—ensuring signal integrity and protecting the central control system.
• Fast Response Time: ≤1 ms channel response time captures rapid state changes (e.g., emergency stop triggers, limit switch activation) in real time, enabling the control system to execute protective or corrective actions immediately.
• Configurable Noise Filtering: Software-adjustable filter time (0.1 ms–100 ms) allows users to optimize signal stability: shorter filters for fast processes, longer filters for noisy environments (e.g., near high-voltage motors).
• Comprehensive Diagnostics: Built-in self-diagnostic functions monitor:
  • Channel overloads (e.g., excessive input current)
  • Power supply abnormalities (e.g., under-voltage on backplane or field power)
  • Internal circuit faults (e.g., ADC or communication chip errors)

    Diagnostic data is transmitted to the control system, enabling remote troubleshooting and reducing downtime.

• Wide Voltage Tolerance: 19.2 V DC–30 V DC input voltage range accommodates fluctuations in field power supplies, ensuring consistent performance even in unstable electrical environments.
• Easy Installation & Configuration:
  • DIN rail-mountable design for quick integration into standard control cabinets.
  • Configurable via ABB Control Builder software (e.g., Control Builder M for AC 800M), allowing users to set filter times, channel labels, and alarm conditions intuitively.
