Description
Product Overview
The ABB DSAI146 is an 8-channel universal analog input module designed for ABB’s S800 I/O system, compatible with AC 800M controllers and System 800xA DCS. It converts analog signals (voltage/current/temperature/resistance) from field devices into digital data for PLC/DCS processing. Key features include hot-swappable design, 2-wire/4-wire sensor support, and channel-by-channel diagnostics, making it suitable for process control in oil & gas, power generation, and manufacturing.
Engineered with galvanic isolation (500 VAC) per channel, the DSAI146 mitigates electrical interference and supports SIL 2 safety integrity level for critical applications. It integrates with ABB’s Control Builder M software for configuration and diagnostics, enabling real-time monitoring of input signals and module health.

Main Features and Advantages
Universal Input Flexibility:
- Multi-Signal Support: Configurable per channel for voltage, current, RTD, or thermocouple inputs, reducing inventory needs for diverse applications.
- 2-Wire Sensor Integration: Directly powers loop-powered transmitters (4–20 mA) without external power supplies, simplifying wiring.
Reliability & Safety:
- Galvanic Isolation: Prevents ground loops and surge damage (up to 2 kV transient protection), critical in noisy industrial environments.
- SIL 2 Compliance: Meets IEC 61508 safety standards for use in emergency shutdown systems (ESD) and safety instrumented systems (SIS).
Operational Efficiency:
- Hot-Swap Capability: Replace modules without system shutdown, minimizing downtime in continuous processes.
- Diagnostic Functions: On-board LEDs indicate channel status (normal/fault), and software reports open circuits, short circuits, or out-of-range signals.
System Integration:
- Backplane Communication: Connects to ABB’s S800 I/O backplane via DCON protocol (10 Mbps), enabling real-time data transfer to controllers.
- Redundancy Options: Supports redundant I/O configurations when paired with ABB’s DSAI146R (redundant variant).
Application Areas
Process Industries:
- Oil & Gas: Monitors pressure transmitters, flow meters, and temperature sensors in refineries and pipelines.
- Chemical Plants: Reads pH meters, level sensors, and reactor temperature probes for process optimization.
Power & Utilities:
- Thermal Power Stations: Measures steam pressure, turbine vibration, and generator winding temperatures.
- Renewables: Tracks solar panel voltage, wind turbine pitch angles, and battery state-of-charge.
Manufacturing:
- Food & Beverage: Controls pasteurizer temperatures and filling machine pressure sensors (IP65-rated enclosures optional).
- Pharmaceuticals: Monitors cleanroom humidity, autoclave pressure, and bioreactor pH levels for GMP compliance.
