Product Overview
The ABB DI840 (3BSE020836R1) is a 32-channel digital input module designed for ABB’s S800 I/O system, offering the highest channel density in the DI series. Unlike the 16-channel DI814, the DI840 consolidates 32 current-sinking (NPN) inputs into two isolated groups of 16 channels each, making it ideal for large-scale systems requiring high-signal density. It supports 24 VDC input signals with galvanic isolation (50 V rated, 500 VAC dielectric strength) and integrates voltage supervision for each group, enabling fail-safe monitoring in critical applications like safety interlocks or process automation. The module’s software-configurable input filtering (2–32 ms) and EMC protection ensure reliable operation in noisy environments, such as automotive plants or steel mills.
Featuring a hot-swappable design compatible with termination units like TU840, the DI840 allows maintenance without system shutdown. It interfaces with ABB’s AC 800M controller and Freelance DCS via PROFIBUS DP, supporting real-time diagnostics through channel-specific LED indicators and integrated fault reporting. The spare part number 3BSE020836R1 denotes Revision 1, which includes enhanced surge protection compared to earlier versions.

Key Features & Advantages
Ultra-High Channel Density: The 32-channel design reduces cabinet space by 50% compared to deploying two 16-channel modules, lowering hardware costs for large systems (e.g., automotive assembly lines with hundreds of sensors).
Dual Isolation Groups: Each group of 16 channels is electrically isolated, preventing cross-interference and allowing partial system maintenance without disrupting critical signals (e.g., separating safety-critical inputs from non-safety inputs).
Enhanced Diagnostics: Real-time monitoring of each channel’s status, short-circuit detection, and group-level voltage supervision. Diagnostic data is accessible via the controller, enabling predictive maintenance (e.g., identifying failing sensors before system errors occur).
Surge Protection (R1 Revision): The 3BSE020836R1 incorporates upgraded transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes, protecting against voltage spikes from inductive loads (e.g., solenoid valves) and extending module lifespan in harsh industrial environments.
Modular Compatibility: Works with ABB’s S800 I/O Termination Units (TU840 for screw terminals, TU840V1 for spring terminals) and bus modules (BM820), supporting scalable configurations from small panels to multi-rack systems.
Application Scenarios
Manufacturing & Automotive:
- Body-in-White Production: Monitors 32+ proximity sensors on robotic welders, door position switches, and safety light curtains, integrating with ABB’s RobotStudio for synchronized motion control.
- Packaging Lines: Reads conveyor belt speed switches, product presence sensors, and capping machine statuses in food & beverage facilities (compliant with IP65-rated environments).
Process Automation:
- Chemical Plants: Tracks valve positions in distillation columns, agitator run signals, and emergency stop buttons, supporting SIL2 safety systems when paired with ABB’s Safety Builder M.
- Oil Refineries: Monitors pressure switches in pipeline networks, fire/smoke detectors, and flare stack statuses, interfacing with ABB’s OMS800 for emergency shutdown protocols.
Energy & Infrastructure:
- Substation Automation: Reads circuit breaker positions, relay statuses, and transformer tap changer signals, compatible with ABB’s REL500 series protective relays.
- Metro Rail Systems: Monitors door closure sensors, platform screen door statuses, and track switch positions, meeting EN 50155 (railway environmental standards).

- Connect field wires to the TU840 terminal block, following NPN (current-sinking) wiring diagrams (e.g., common cathode configuration).
- Link the module to the S800 I/O bus via a bus cable, and configure inputs using Control Builder M (set filtering time based on signal noise level, e.g., 8 ms for machinery with motor interference).
Maintenance Tips:
- Use ABB’s System 800xA Condition Monitoring to track module health metrics (e.g., channel error rates, power consumption trends).
- In dusty environments, clean the module with compressed air (≤0.6 bar) every 季度 to prevent dust accumulation.
- For hot-swapping, ensure the TU840 is disconnected from field wiring before replacing the DI840 to avoid transient currents.
