ABB 3BSE008516R1 Analog Input Module

Family: Seria I/O S800, System 800xA / AC800M DCS, 8-channel analog input module

Informații de bază

Partea nr.: 3BSE008516R1

Short Model Name: AI810

Tip: Intrare analogică, 8CH

Tipuri de semnal: 0(4)…20mA, 0…10V, configurable via software

Rezoluţie: 12-pic, single-ended input

Hot swap supported, online configuration available

Cod HS: 85389091

Compatible Terminal Units (TU series, obligatoriu)

TU810 / TU812 / TU814 / TU818 / TU830 / TU833 / TU835 / TU838 / TU850

Aplicații tipice

Transmitter signal acquisition: presiune, nivel, curgere, temperatură (4-20mA / 0-10V). Widely used in chemical, putere, metallurgy process DCS.

Key Limitations

Single-ended input, differential input not supported; poorer common-mode noise rejection than differential AI modules (de ex. AI830)

Passive acquisition, no transmitter power supply from module itself. 2-wire transmitters require external 24V supply

On-board channel current limiting protection

Alternativă & Compatibility Reference (Aceeași serie)

Select according to signal requirements:

AI830 (differential type, superior noise immunity)

AI815 (HART version, supports HART protocol transmitters)

Troublshooting Guide

1. No reading: Verify terminal unit model, Profibus DP communication, and channel configuration (mA or V)
2. Fluctuating signal: Single-ended design. Priority check shield grounding; avoid routing alongside power cables
3. Module without fault alarm but fixed reading: Check transmitter power supply and loop continuity

A single AI810 has fixed 8 hardware channels. No jumper, software setting or accessory can expand one AI810 to more than 8 canale.

Two Valid Expansion Methods within S800 I/O System

1. Add extra AI810 or other AI modules in the series

S800 I/O is distributed bus I/O. Multiple I/O stations and multiple AI810/AI815/AI830 modules on one backplane can be connected to a Profibus DP bus. Each module works independently with 8 canale, configured separately in Control Builder, total channels are cumulative.

Exemplu: 2 × AI810 = 16 canale de intrare analogice

Constraints: Profibus bus load, controller I/O capacity, available backplane slots

2. Replace with higher-density modules

Most standard S800 AI modules are 8-channel; no 16-channel analog input module available in S800 range.

For HART: AI815 (also 8CH, HART capable)

For high noise & long cable runs: AI830 (8CH differential)

❌ Not Recommended Workarounds

Signal splitter / signal shunt: One transmitter signal split into two AI channels. Readings are identical, no new measurement point, accuracy degraded. Not acceptable for formal DCS application.

TU terminal units are only for wiring, no channel expansion function, only signal transfer and isolation.

Note suplimentare

Channel mode (mA / V) is changed only by software configuration, channel count remains unchanged. Hot swap and online configuration apply per module and cannot increase channel quantity.

Signals Supported by ABB AI810 (3BSE008516R1)

✅ Only 2 signal types, configurable per channel independently via software

1. 0(4)～20 mA (semnal curent, widely used for 2-wire transmitters)
2. 0～10 V (semnal de tensiune)

Caracteristici cheie

Tip de intrare: Single-ended, differential input not supported

Rezoluţie: 12-pic

Passive module, cannot supply power to transmitters externally. 4-20mA 2-wire transmitters require external 24V DC supply

Does NOT support: RTD, TC thermocouple, resistance signal, HART

Each channel may be set to mA or V separately; mixed mA/V channels are allowed on one module
