Description

ARC093AE01: Product Overview
The ARC093AE01 is an 8-channel analog output module designed for integration into ABB AC500 series programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Its role is to serve as a controller-to-actuator interface, converting digital control signals from the AC500 CPU into standardized analog outputs (4-20mA current loop or 0-10V voltage) for field devices such as control valves, damper actuators, and variable frequency drives (VFDs). In continuous process industries—including chemical manufacturing, power generation, and water treatment—this module ensures precise regulation of flow, pressure, and level by delivering stable, noise-immune signals to critical actuators.
As part of the AC500 I/O family, the module leverages a platform recognized for modular scalability, compatibility with CODESYS V3 programming, and seamless integration with ABB Automation Builder engineering software. The platform’s benefits include reduced wiring complexity through high-density modules, unified configuration workflows for faster commissioning, and support for hot-swappable components to minimize downtime. The ARC093AE01 enables engineers to expand analog output capacity cost-effectively while maintaining system determinism.

Core Features & Customer Value​
The ARC093AE01 delivers several features that translate directly into operational efficiency. Its 8-channel density reduces cabinet footprint and minimizes the number of modules required in systems with multiple actuators, such as a distillation column requiring 6 valve controllers and 2 VFDs. This consolidation simplifies wiring harnesses, lowers material costs, and reduces potential points of failure.
Per-channel isolation (500V AC) protects the AC500 CPU from ground loops and voltage transients common in industrial environments, ensuring signal integrity for critical control loops. For example, in a chemical reactor’s temperature control system, this prevents noise-induced valve hunting, maintaining stable reaction conditions. The module’s support for both 4-20mA and 0-10V outputs eliminates the need for external signal converters when interfacing with diverse actuators.
Hot-swap capability allows replacement without de-energizing the I/O rack, minimizing unplanned downtime in continuous processes. Integration with Automation Builder software enables engineers to configure output ranges, scaling, and fault thresholds via a graphical interface, streamlining commissioning. Built-in diagnostics (LED indicators for power, channel status, and faults) and error logging help maintenance teams quickly isolate issues, such as an open circuit in a valve positioner.
Typical Applications​
The ARC093AE01 is suited for applications requiring precise analog control of multiple actuators. In a petroleum refinery’s fluid catalytic cracking unit, it provides 4-20mA outputs to 8 control valves regulating feedstock flow and catalyst circulation, ensuring optimal conversion rates. The 500V AC isolation withstands EMI from nearby compressors, maintaining signal stability.
In a municipal water treatment plant, the module drives 6 VFDs (0-10V outputs) for pump speed control and 2 valve actuators (4-20mA) for chemical dosing, adjusting flows based on real-time turbidity and pH data. Its -25°C cold-start capability supports outdoor installations in colder climates.
In a power plant’s boiler feedwater system, the ARC093AE01 outputs 4-20mA signals to control valve positions, maintaining drum level within tight tolerances. The module’s <10 ms response time ensures rapid adjustments during load changes, preventing equipment stress.
