ABB AI810 3BSE008516R0001

Product Introduction

The ABB AI810 3BSE008516R0001 is a high-performance analog input module designed to collect and convert continuous physical signals (such as temperature, pressure, flow, and voltage) into digital data for processing by industrial control systems. As a critical interface between field sensors and the PLC, it enables precise monitoring of industrial processes, ensuring optimal operation and early detection of anomalies.

This module features 8 differential channels, supporting a wide range of input signal types, from standard 4-20 mA current loops to thermocouples and RTDs for temperature measurement. When powered by the ABB SINT4611C power supply module and connected via the ABB TU847 terminal unit, it forms a robust data acquisition system that integrates seamlessly with ABB’s AC800M PLC. Its high resolution and accuracy make it suitable for applications requiring precise measurement, such as chemical processing, power generation, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Core Advantages and Technical Highlights

Versatile Signal Compatibility

The ABB AI810 3BSE008516R0001 supports a diverse range of input signals, eliminating the need for multiple specialized modules. This versatility simplifies system design and reduces inventory costs. For example, in a water treatment plant, a single module can monitor pH levels (via 4-20 mA transmitters), tank temperatures (via Pt100 RTDs), and pump pressure (via 0-10 V sensors), providing a comprehensive view of the process in one compact unit.

High Accuracy and Resolution

With 16-bit resolution and ±0.1% accuracy, the ABB AI810 3BSE008516R0001 ensures precise measurement of even small signal variations. This level of precision is critical in applications like pharmaceutical batch processing, where minor temperature fluctuations (detected via thermocouples) can affect product quality. The module’s stable performance, powered by the ABB SINT4611C’s clean 24 V DC output, ensures measurement consistency over time, reducing process variability.

Robust Isolation and Noise Resistance

2.5 kV AC isolation between channels and the backplane protects the PLC from electrical noise and ground loops, common in industrial environments with large motors or variable frequency drives. This isolation ensures reliable signal transmission even in noisy settings, such as near welding robots in automotive plants. When paired with shielded wiring via the ABB TU847 terminal unit, the module minimizes interference, ensuring accurate data collection from sensors in high-electromagnetic interference (EMI) zones.

Typical Application Scenarios

In a chemical processing plant, the ABB AI810 3BSE008516R0001 monitors critical process variables in a reactor system. Its channels are connected to pressure transmitters (4-20 mA), temperature sensors (K-type thermocouples), and level transmitters (0-10 V). The module converts these signals to digital data, which the AC800M PLC uses to adjust heating elements and valve positions, maintaining reactor conditions within safe limits. If the pressure exceeds the set threshold, the PLC triggers an alarm via a digital output module (e.g., ABB DO524 A3), preventing overpressure incidents. The ABB SINT4611C power supply ensures stable operation, even during voltage fluctuations from the plant’s heavy machinery.

In a power generation facility, the module monitors turbine performance by collecting data from vibration sensors (4-20 mA), bearing temperature sensors (Pt100 RTDs), and oil pressure transmitters (0-20 mA). The high accuracy of the ABB AI810 3BSE008516R0001 allows early detection of subtle vibration increases, indicating potential bearing wear. This data is analyzed by the PLC to schedule maintenance before a catastrophic failure occurs, reducing unplanned downtime. The module’s isolation protects the control system from voltage spikes generated by the turbine’s electrical components.

In a food and beverage pasteurization line, the ABB AI810 3BSE008516R0001 measures the temperature of product as it passes through heat exchangers (using T-type thermocouples). The PLC uses this data to adjust the flow rate of heating media, ensuring the product reaches the required pasteurization temperature (e.g., 72°C for milk) for the correct duration. The module’s fast response time ensures rapid adjustments to temperature changes, maintaining product safety and compliance with regulatory standards. The ABB TU847 terminal unit organizes wiring to the thermocouples, simplifying maintenance and reducing wiring errors.

Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Instructions

Installation Preparation

Before installing the ABB AI810 3BSE008516R0001, ensure the control cabinet is clean, dry, and free from excessive vibration. The ambient temperature should be within -25°C to +60°C, with relative humidity below 95% (non-condensing). Required tools include a screwdriver (PH2), wire strippers, and a torque wrench (set to 0.5 – 0.7 Nm). Mount the module on a 35 mm DIN rail, ensuring it is securely fastened. Connect the 24 V DC power supply (from the ABB SINT4611C) to the module’s power terminals, observing correct polarity. Use shielded twisted-pair cables for sensor connections, with the shield grounded at both the module (via the ABB TU847 terminal unit) and the sensor end to minimize noise.

Commissioning Steps

After installation, power on the system and verify the ABB AI810 3BSE008516R0001 is recognized by the AC800M PLC using ABB’s configuration software. Configure each channel for the connected signal type (e.g., 4-20 mA, Pt100) via the PLC software, setting scaling parameters to convert raw counts to engineering units (e.g., °C, bar). Calibrate the module using a precision signal generator, verifying that the measured values match the input signal within the specified accuracy range (±0.1% of full scale). Test each channel with a known input (e.g., a 12 mA signal for a 4-20 mA loop) and confirm the PLC displays the correct value. For thermocouple channels, check that cold junction compensation is functioning by comparing readings to a reference thermometer.

Maintenance Suggestions

For daily maintenance, inspect the ABB AI810 3BSE008516R0001 and ABB TU847 terminal unit for dust accumulation, cleaning with a soft, dry cloth or compressed air (low pressure). Check wiring connections quarterly to ensure tightness, as loose connections can cause signal drift or noise. Calibrate the module annually using a certified signal generator to maintain accuracy, especially in regulated industries like pharmaceuticals. Monitor the module’s temperature during operation; readings above 50°C may indicate poor ventilation, requiring cabinet fan upgrades. If a channel displays erratic readings, first check the sensor and wiring; if they are functional, test the channel with a known signal to confirm a module fault. Replace the module if faults persist.
