Product Short Description
Product Introduction
The ABB AI810 (3BSE008516R0001) is an 8-channel analog input module designed for the ABB S800 distributed I/O system, fully compatible with AC 800M controllers and 800xA distributed control systems (DCS). It supports standard industrial voltage and current signals, converting analog field sensor data into high-resolution digital signals for real-time process monitoring and control. Built with galvanic isolation, overvoltage protection, and robust industrial design, the AI810 delivers reliable signal acquisition in harsh factory environments, serving as a core interface between field instruments and control systems across manufacturing, process, and power industries.
