Description
Product Overview
The ABB MSR04XI is a high-reliability serial communication module designed for Triguard SC300E safety-critical systems, offering seamless connectivity in industrial automation environments. Engineered for mission-critical applications such as oil refineries, power plants, and chemical processing, this module ensures robust data transmission in harsh conditions while adhering to IP67 and ATEX standards 1216.
As part of the SC300E Triguard platform, the MSR04XI integrates triple-redundant circuitry and 2-out-of-3 voting logic, providing single-fault tolerance and continuous operation even in the event of component failure 1216. It supports four RS232 ports (0–3) with configurable baud rates (9600 or 19200) and galvanic isolation (1kV), enabling secure communication with remote devices like HMIs, sensors, and PLCs 1213. The module’s hot-swap capability and front-panel LEDs for real-time status monitoring (Tx/Rx activity, circuit health) streamline maintenance and reduce downtime 1320.
