Description

Product Overview

The ABB AO610 is a high-precision analog output module engineered for industrial automation systems, particularly within ABB’s Advant OCS distributed control system (DCS) platform. Designed to convert digital control signals into analog outputs, this module supports 16 isolated channels with selectable signal ranges (0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, 0–10 V DC), making it ideal for applications requiring precise regulation of actuators, valves, and variable-speed drives . With 12-bit resolution and ±0.1% full-scale accuracy, the AO610 ensures reliable performance in demanding environments such as power generation, oil & gas, and chemical processing.

Integrated into the Advant OCS system, the AO610 interfaces seamlessly with CPU modules and other I/O devices via Modbus RTU or Profibus DP protocols, enabling real-time data exchange and closed-loop control. Its compact design (252 mm × 273 mm × 40 mm) allows easy installation in standard racks, while robust construction ensures operation across a wide temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) . The module’s hot-swap capability minimizes downtime during maintenance, while diagnostic LEDs provide instant status feedback for proactive system management.
