PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The ABB AI830A 3BSE040662R1 is an S800 I/O Analog Input Module designed for temperature measurement. This module provides eight input channels for resistive temperature detectors using 3-wire field connections. It interfaces with Pt100, Cu10, Ni100, Ni120, and resistive potentiometer sensors. Every input sensor must remain isolated from ground during operation. The unit executes direct on-module linearization and temperature conversion into Centigrade or Fahrenheit units.
Individual channels support independent parameter configuration to match process requirements. Integrated notch filters attenuate mains interference at 50 Hz or 60 Hz line frequencies. The module features groupwise electrical isolation from ground rated at 50 V. Module status diagnostics detect open-circuit and short-circuit faults alongside internal power supply monitoring. Front-panel LEDs provide immediate visual indication for Fault, Run, and Warning conditions.
