Description

1SAP240000R0001 DI524: Product Overview
The ABB 1SAP240000R0001 DI524 is a 16-channel digital input module within ABB’s AC500 series of I/O modules, designed for integration into AC500 PLC systems to serve as a front-end interface for discrete signal acquisition. Its role is to convert field device signals (e.g., proximity switch activations, emergency stop button presses, valve position feedback) into digital data that AC500 CPUs can process for control logic execution. For industries such as manufacturing, water treatment, and chemical processing—where reliable monitoring of discrete events is critical—it ensures accurate signal transmission and simplifies wiring in distributed I/O architectures.
Functionally, the module processes inputs from 16 independent channels, each configurable for 24V DC dry contact (relay) or solid-state (transistor) signals. It employs galvanic isolation (2500VAC) to prevent ground loops and electromagnetic interference (EMI) from corrupting data, a necessity in electrically noisy environments. As part of the AC500 I/O family, the DI524 leverages the AC500 platform’s advantages: modular scalability, compatibility with CODESYS V3 programming, and seamless integration with ABB 800xA DCS. This design simplifies system expansion, reduces validation effort, and enables reuse of I/O configurations across projects.

Core Features & Customer Value​
High-Channel Density Reduces Cabinet Complexity: With 16 input channels per module, the DI524 minimizes the number of I/O modules required in control cabinets. For engineers designing systems with numerous discrete devices (e.g., a manufacturing line with 10 proximity switches and 6 pushbuttons), this cuts cabinet space by 50% compared to 8-channel alternatives, simplifying wiring and lowering material costs.
Galvanic Isolation Ensures Signal Integrity: The 2500VAC isolation between channels and the AC500 bus prevents EMI from industrial equipment (e.g., VFDs, motors) from distorting digital signals. In a chemical plant’s reactor control system, this ensures reliable detection of limit switch activations—critical for preventing over-pressurization—even near high-power agitators.
Comprehensive Diagnostics Accelerate Maintenance: Built-in diagnostics monitor each channel for short circuits (to ground/power), open circuits (broken wires), and power supply health. Faults are reported to the AC500 CPU via the I/O bus, with LED indicators on the faceplate for quick visual identification. For maintenance teams, this reduces troubleshooting time from hours to minutes—e.g., identifying a failed proximity switch in an automotive assembly line without invasive testing.
Hot-Swappable Design Minimizes Downtime: The module can be replaced while the system remains powered, essential for continuous processes like water treatment. Technicians remove the faulty unit and insert a new one; the AC500 CPU automatically reloads configuration data. This eliminates scheduled shutdowns for module replacement, saving thousands in lost production per incident.
Seamless Integration with AC500 Platform: As a native AC500 I/O component, the module uses ABB’s Automation Builder software (CODESYS V3) for configuration and monitoring. Engineers reuse existing I/O profiles across projects, cutting commissioning time by 20%. Compatibility with AC500 remote I/O racks enables scalable expansion from local to distributed architectures.

Typical Applications​
The DI524 is deployed in AC500 PLC systems requiring discrete signal acquisition:
  • Automotive Assembly: Connects 16 proximity switches on a conveyor line to monitor part presence. 2500VAC isolation prevents EMI from robotic arms from causing false triggers.
  • Water Treatment: Acquires signals from 12 level switches (dry contact) and 4 valve position sensors (solid-state) across lift stations. Data sent to SCADA via AC500 CPU.
  • Chemical Batch Reactor: Monitors 8 agitator overload switches (dry contact) and 8 temperature limit switches (solid-state). Hot-swap functionality allows maintenance during planned turnarounds.
