Description

ABB XZC826A102 3BHE036348R0102: Product Overview
The ABB XZC826A102 (order code: 3BHE036348R0102) is a specialized industrial control module from the XZC Series, designed for seamless integration of field devices into ABB automation architectures. As a critical interface component, it bridges the gap between distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and analog/digital field instruments (e.g., pressure transmitters, valve positioners, proximity switches).
Engineered for harsh industrial environments, the module features robust signal conditioning (filtering, amplification, isolation) to eliminate noise and ensure accurate data acquisition. Its compact, modular design aligns with ABB’s decentralized control philosophy, enabling installation in control cabinets, field junction boxes, or hazardous area enclosures (with optional ATEX certification). The XZC826A102 is ideal for applications requiring reliable, multi-channel signal conversion—such as chemical processing, power generation, and oil & gas production.

Core Features & Customer Value
  1. Multi-Channel Signal Flexibility: 8 analog inputs (supporting 4–20mA, 0–10V, RTDs, thermocouples) and 4 digital outputs enable integration of diverse field devices (e.g., 8 pressure sensors + 4 solenoid valves) in a single module, reducing cabinet space and wiring complexity.
  2. Robust Signal Conditioning: Built-in filtering (50/60Hz notch filter) and amplification eliminate EMI/noise from motors, drives, or power lines, ensuring measurement accuracy (±0.1% FS for analog inputs). Critical for processes like chemical dosing, where minor signal drift impacts product quality.
  3. Galvanic Isolation: 250V AC isolation between channels and ground protects the DCS/PLC from ground loops and voltage spikes, enhancing system reliability in high-noise environments (e.g., steel mills, refineries).
  4. Harsh Environment Resilience: Operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) and IP65 rating (with sealed enclosure) enable deployment in outdoor or washdown areas (e.g., food processing plants, marine platforms). Optional ATEX certification supports use in explosive atmospheres (gas/dust).
  5. Seamless ABB Ecosystem Integration: Native support for Modbus RTU/TCP and compatibility with ABB’s AC 800M DCS, System 800xA, and PLCs simplifies configuration via ABB’s Engineering Toolset, reducing setup time by 30% compared to third-party modules.
Typical Applications
The ABB XZC826A102 is widely used in process industries requiring multi-channel signal integration:
  • Chemical Processing: Collects 8 analog inputs from pH/flow/temperature sensors and controls 4 dosing valves via digital outputs for batch mixing.
  • Power Generation: Interfaces 8 turbine vibration sensors (4–20mA) with the plant DCS to monitor equipment health.
  • Oil & Gas: Transmits 8 wellhead pressure readings (RTD/TC) to the SCADA system and activates 4 emergency shutdown solenoids.
  • Food & Beverage: Monitors 8 tank level sensors (0–10V) and controls 4 filling valves in a bottling line, with IP65 rating for washdown resistance.
