ABB DAI05
-
Versatile Signal Handling:
- Supports both voltage (0–10V) and current (0–20mA) inputs, adapting to sensors, transducers, and analog devices.
- Digital signal processing ensures high accuracy (±0.1% typical).
-
Modular Design:
- Compact form factor (e.g., 3 cm × 31.3 cm × 27.8 cm) for space-constrained installations.
- DIN rail or panel mounting for easy integration.
-
Reliability:
- Industrial-grade components with a MTBF exceeding 100,000 hours.
- Isolated channels to prevent noise interference.
-
Ease of Use:
- Front-panel potentiometers/digital knobs for signal calibration.
- LED indicators for real-time status monitoring.
- Manufacturing: Machine monitoring, quality control systems.
- Energy: Power plant sensor networks, renewable energy installations.
- Process Control: Water treatment (flow/pressure monitoring), chemical processing.
- Logistics: Conveyor system diagnostics, warehouse automation.
- Conversion Resolution: 12–16 bits (depending on model).
- Update Rate: Fast refresh rates (e.g., <10ms per channel).
- Communication: Modbus RTU/ASCII (optional), direct PLC integration.
- Certifications: CE, RoHS, compliance with industrial standards (e.g., IEC 61131-2).

ABB DAI05
- Wiring: Max wire gauge 1.5 mm²; shielded cables recommended for analog signals.
- Configuration: ABB Engineering Tools (e.g., Freelance, 800xA) for channel setup.
- Maintenance: Replace every 5–7 years (standard lifecycle); periodic calibration recommended.
- Availability: Widely stocked by industrial automation suppliers (e.g., Xiamen Amikon, Goodao Technology).
- Warranty: Typically 1 year (varies by supplier).
- Pricing: Competitive (USD $500–$1,500 per module, depending on configuration).
- Case 1: A water treatment plant uses DAI05 to monitor pH/conductivity sensors, converting analog signals for PLC-based dosing control.
- Case 2: A manufacturing line integrates DAI05 with AC800M PLCs to track temperature/humidity in cleanrooms, ensuring process stability.
The DAI05 is often confused with digital-only input modules (e.g., DI524). Verify the requirement for analog-to-digital conversion before selection. For detailed technical documentation (e.g., datasheets, wiring diagrams), contact ABB authorized distributors or use ABB’s official support portal.
