ABB SAFT103: High-Reliability Safety Termination Module for Critical Industrial Automation
Product Overview
The ABB SAFT103 is a safety termination module designed for mission-critical industrial applications requiring robust signal conditioning and safe integration of field devices into control systems. As part of ABB’s SafeLink series, the SAFT103 acts as a central hub for connecting safety sensors, actuators, and controllers, ensuring reliable communication and fail-safe operation in environments where human safety and process integrity are paramount.
Engineered to meet SIL2 safety integrity level (as per IEC 61508), the SAFT103 supports dual-channel safety signals, providing redundant monitoring to detect faults such as short circuits or open loops. Its DIN rail-mountable design and compact form factor (100 x 50 x 30 mm) enable seamless integration into space-constrained control panels, while the IP20-rated enclosure safeguards against dust and accidental contact. The module interfaces with ABB’s AC500S PLCs and AC800M DCS, facilitating centralized monitoring via ABB’s Ability™ digital platform for predictive maintenance and real-time diagnostics.
Key functionalities include signal isolation, voltage conditioning, and diagnostic feedback, ensuring accurate transmission of safety-critical signals (e.g., emergency stop inputs, safety 光幕 outputs) across industrial networks. With support for PROFIBUS DP and Modbus RTU protocols, the SAFT103 interoperates with legacy and modern systems, reducing integration complexity. Its hot-swap capability allows maintenance without disrupting operations, minimizing downtime in high-value processes.
