ABB AI835A
1. Overview
The ABB AI835A is an analog input module belonging to the ABB Ability™ System 800xA® series, specifically engineered for industrial automation systems. It delivers high-precision acquisition of thermocouple and millivolt signals, making it well-suited for harsh field environments.
2. Technical Specifications
- Number of Channels: 8 differential input channels, with the 8th channel configurable for cold junction (CJ) temperature measurement
- Signal Range: Linear range of -30 mV to +75 mV; compatible with thermocouple types B, C, E, J, K, N, R, S, T (the AI835A additionally supports D, L, U types)
- Resolution: 15-bit A/D conversion
- Isolation: Mutual isolation between each channel, with a rated isolation voltage of 500 V
- Operating Temperature: -40 °C to +70 °C
- Power Supply: 24 V DC
- Dimensions/Weight: Approximately 90 × 72 × 25 mm, weighing 0.2 kg
3. Product Features
- High-Precision Measurement: Boasts 15-bit resolution, with an error ≤ ±0.1% FS and noise < 0.2% FS, ensuring accurate data collection
- Flexible Configuration: Each channel can be individually set with specific ranges, thermocouple types, or cold junction temperature measurement functions
- Reliability: Industrial-grade design with high temperature resistance and anti-interference capabilities, ideal for severe on-site conditions
- Modular Design: Can be combined with other modules in the S800 I/O system to build a scalable I/O architecture
- Fault Detection: Supports wire break and open-circuit monitoring, enhancing overall system safety
4. Structure and Components
- Front Terminal Blocks: 8 sets of differential input terminals, paired with screw-type wiring for stable connections
- Internal A/D Conversion Unit: 15-bit high-resolution analog-to-digital converter for precise signal transformation
- Isolation Circuitry: Independent isolation for each channel to prevent interference propagation
- Cold Junction Compensation Circuit (Optional): The 8th channel or an external 4-wire Pt100 RTD can be used for thermocouple cold junction compensation
- Enclosure: Metal casing that complies with DIN rail mounting standards for easy installation
5. Typical Application Fields
- Process Control: Continuous measurement of parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow
- Petrochemical Industry: Acquisition of high-temperature thermocouple signals in refineries and chemical plants
- Paper and Printing: Precision temperature monitoring during production processes
- Power Systems: Temperature detection of transformers and generators to ensure operational safety
- Machine Vision and Robotics: Environmental temperature sensing for optimal equipment performance
- Automated Test Systems: High-precision analog signal input for accurate testing and validation
6. Installation and Maintenance
- Installation Method: DIN rail mounting with secure chassis fixation; wiring is done via screw terminals, with signals connected according to the corresponding channel type
- Wiring Notes: Shielded cables must be used for thermocouples to maintain signal integrity; if the 8th channel is used for cold junction temperature measurement, a 4-wire Pt100 RTD should be connected or the internal fixed temperature can be utilized
- Configuration Steps: In ABB Engineering software (e.g., Control Builder M), set the range, thermocouple type, isolation level, and CJ-channel parameters for each channel
- Maintenance Key Points: Regularly check terminal tightness and cable integrity; use the module’s built-in open/short-circuit detection function for quick fault location; on-site calibration is recommended every 12 months
- Warranty and Support: The manufacturer provides a 12-month warranty, and a global after-sales network offers technical support and spare parts supply
