ABB XO08R2 1SBP260109R1001

Product introduction

The ABB XO08R2 1SBP260109R1001 is a high-reliability digital output module designed for seamless integration with ABB’s AC 800M controller system, serving as a critical interface for controlling external devices in industrial automation. This module is engineered to convert digital control signals from the controller into physical actions via relay outputs, making it an essential component in automation setups across industries such as manufacturing, energy, and process control.

Featuring 8 changeover relay outputs, the ABB XO08R2 offers exceptional flexibility in connecting to a wide range of industrial equipment—from contactors and motor starters to valves and alarm systems. Each relay provides both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts, enabling versatile control logic configurations. Its robust isolation design (2.5 kV AC) ensures safe operation by preventing electrical interference between channels and protecting the controller from voltage transients.

Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, the ABB XO08R2 operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 60°C, resisting vibration, shock, and electromagnetic interference. Its compact form factor (100mm × 80mm × 60mm) allows for high-density installation in control cabinets, maximizing space efficiency. Whether deployed in assembly lines, power plants, or chemical facilities, this module delivers consistent performance for precise and timely control of industrial processes.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Versatile relay outputs

Each of the 8 channels on the ABB XO08R2 features a changeover relay with both NO and NC contacts, providing unmatched flexibility in control system design. This allows the module to handle diverse applications—for example, using NO contacts to activate a motor starter and NC contacts to trigger a fault alarm if the motor fails to start. The ability to configure each channel independently eliminates the need for external relay panels, reducing system complexity and installation costs.

Robust load handling

With a rated load capacity of 5 A at 250 V AC / 30 V DC, the ABB XO08R2 can directly control medium-power devices such as small motors, solenoid valves, and heating elements. Its 1250 VA AC / 150 W DC switching capacity ensures reliable operation even with inductive loads (e.g., motor windings), where voltage spikes are common during switching. This eliminates the need for intermediate relays in many applications, simplifying wiring and improving response times.

Enhanced isolation protection

The module’s 2.5 kV AC isolation between channels and from the backplane provides superior protection against ground loops and electrical noise. This is critical in industrial environments with multiple voltage sources or high-power equipment, where interference can disrupt control signals. The isolation also enhances safety by preventing high-voltage transients from propagating to the AC 800M controller, safeguarding sensitive electronics.

Wide temperature tolerance

Designed to operate in -25°C to 60°C environments, the ABB XO08R2 thrives in extreme conditions—from freezing cold storage facilities to hot steel mills. Its relays are rated for reliable operation across this range, with no degradation in switching performance. This eliminates the need for climate-controlled enclosures in many outdoor or harsh indoor applications, reducing installation costs and expanding deployment options.

Fast response times

With a switching time of ≤10 ms for both opening and closing, the ABB XO08R2 ensures timely execution of control commands. This speed is critical for time-sensitive processes such as emergency shutdown systems, where delays could lead to equipment damage or safety hazards. For example, in a chemical plant, the module can quickly close a valve within 10 ms of a pressure spike, preventing over-pressurization.

Typical application scenarios

Manufacturing automation

In an automotive assembly line, the ABB XO08R2 controls various actuators, including robotic grippers, conveyor diverters, and clamping cylinders. Each relay output triggers a specific action—for instance, activating a gripper to pick up a component (NO contact) and signaling a fault if the gripper fails to close (NC contact). The module’s fast response time ensures precise synchronization between stations, reducing cycle times and improving production efficiency.

Power generation

In a thermal power plant, the ABB XO08R2 controls auxiliary systems such as fuel valves, fan dampers, and lubrication pumps. Its relays activate these devices based on signals from the AC 800M controller, which monitors boiler pressure, temperature, and fuel flow. The module’s robust isolation protects against electrical noise from generators and transformers, ensuring reliable operation of critical safety systems like emergency fuel shutoffs.

Water and wastewater treatment

The ABB XO08R2 manages pump stations and valve arrays in water treatment facilities. Its outputs control submersible pumps, sludge valves, and chemical dosing systems, responding to level sensors and flow meters connected to the AC 800M controller. The changeover relays allow for redundant configurations—for example, using one relay to start a primary pump and another to activate a standby pump if the primary fails, ensuring continuous water flow.

Food and beverage processing

In a beverage bottling plant, the module controls filling valves, capping machines, and labeling systems. Its relays trigger these devices in sequence, synchronized with conveyor speed via the controller. The wide temperature range (-25°C to 60°C) allows installation in cold storage areas for refrigerated beverages, while the IP20 rating protects against dust in dry processing zones. The fast switching time ensures precise timing of filling cycles, reducing product waste.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation

Ensure the AC 800M controller rack is powered off before installing the ABB XO08R2. Mount the module on the backplane, ensuring secure engagement with the connector.

Verify the backplane provides 24 V DC ±10% power. Use a torque screwdriver (0.5-0.8 Nm) to secure the module to the rack, preventing vibration-induced loosening.

Use 0.75-1.0 mm² insulated copper cables for field connections. For inductive loads (e.g., motors), install surge suppressors (varistors) across the relay contacts to protect against voltage spikes.

Prepare tools: wire strippers, a multimeter, and a torque screwdriver. Label all connections to simplify troubleshooting.

Commissioning steps

Power on the AC 800M system and verify the ABB XO08R2’s status LED illuminates green, indicating normal operation.

Use ABB’s Engineering Workplace software to configure the module, assigning each relay output to a specific control function in the controller’s logic.

Test each channel by activating the relay via the controller and verifying contact closure using a multimeter. Check both NO and NC contacts for proper operation.

Test load handling by connecting a rated device (e.g., a 24 V DC solenoid valve) to each channel and confirming reliable activation/deactivation.

Perform a fault simulation by overloading a channel (temporarily) to ensure the module’s internal protection prevents damage. Reset the module and confirm normal operation resumes.

Maintenance suggestions

Inspect the ABB XO08R2 quarterly for dust accumulation; clean with compressed air (low pressure) to prevent overheating.

Check wiring connections semi-annually, ensuring terminals are tight (torque to 0.6 Nm) and free of corrosion. Replace damaged wires immediately.

Test relay contacts annually using a multimeter. Measure contact resistance—should be <100 mΩ for NO contacts and >100 MΩ for NC contacts. Replace relays if values exceed these limits.

Verify isolation integrity every 2 years using a megohmmeter (2500 V DC). Ensure insulation resistance between channels and to ground exceeds 100 MΩ.

Store spare modules in a dry environment (-40°C to 85°C) with anti-static packaging. Avoid exposure to corrosive gases or extreme humidity.
