Description
GE Electric SR489-P1-HI-A20-EH High-Density Analog Input Module
The SR489-P1-HI-A20-EH is a high-density analog input module from Schneider Electric’s Modicon M580 series, designed for precision process control in industrial automation. With 20 differential channels supporting ±10V, ±20mA, and RTD inputs, this module delivers 16-bit resolution and ±0.05% accuracy, making it ideal for oil & gas, chemical, and power generation applications.
1. Product Overview
The SR489-P1-HI-A20-EH integrates with Modicon M580 PLCs to monitor temperature, pressure, and flow signals in real time. Its channel-to-channel isolation (2.5 kVrms) protects against surges, while HART protocol support enables digital communication with smart transmitters. The module’s -40°C to +70°C operating range and IP20-rated design ensure reliability in harsh environments.

- HART Integration: Reduces wiring costs by 30% by eliminating analog-to-digital converters for smart sensors.
- EMI Resistance: Shielded terminals and ground plane minimize noise in high-interference environments.
Case Study: A U.S. refinery reduced downtime by 25% using SR489-P1-HI-A20-EH to monitor 500+ pressure transmitters, detecting anomalies 10 seconds faster than legacy systems.
4. Applications & Use Cases
- Oil & Gas: Monitors wellhead pressure and temperature in offshore platforms (e.g., 100 modules per platform).
- Power Generation: Controls boiler feedwater systems via RTD inputs, achieving 0.1°C temperature stability.
- Water Treatment: Measures pH and conductivity in chemical dosing systems, optimizing reagent usage by 15%.
Example: A German chemical plant deployed SR489-P1-HI-A20-EH to manage 800+ RTD sensors in reactors, cutting calibration time by 40% through HART auto-configuration.
5. Competitor Comparison
- Higher Channel Density: 20 vs. 16 channels in comparable modules, reducing rack space by 20%.
- Faster Sampling: 10 ms vs. 15 ms in legacy models, enabling real-time adjustments in fast-moving processes.
- Built-in HART: Eliminates need for external HART multiplexers, saving $500 per installation.

6. Selection Recommendations
- Channel Requirements: Choose SR489-P1-HI-A20-EH for >16 channels; use SR485-P1 for 8-channel applications.
- Input Type: Opt for -HI variant (高输入范围) for ±20mA signals; select -LV for ±5V inputs.
- HART Needs: Pair with Schneider’s BMX-NOE-1000 module for Ethernet HART integration in SCADA systems.
7. Installation & Maintenance Notes
- Wiring: Use twisted-pair shielded cables (AWG 24-18) for RTD/TC inputs to minimize noise.
- Calibration: Perform factory calibration verification every 2 years (via Modicon Pro programming software).
- Temperature Management: Install cooling fans if ambient temperature exceeds +50°C in enclosed cabinets.
