Product Overview

The ABB AO810V2 (3BSE038415R1) is an 8-channel Analog Output Module from the S800 I/O series. Designed to interface process controllers such as AC 800M with field devices, this module converts digital signals into precise analog currents for actuators, valves, and motor speed controllers.

Compact and robust, the AO810V2 supports high-density installation on S800 terminal units and ensures stable, reliable output under demanding industrial conditions. Its V2 design enhances component longevity while maintaining full backward compatibility with the original AO810.

Key Features

High Channel Density

• Provides 8 independent output channels within a single module, optimizing cabinet space.

Accurate and Reliable Analog Output

• Supports 0–20 mA and 4–20 mA output ranges with 12-bit resolution for precise control of process equipment.

• Detects open circuits or excessive load resistance, reporting faults to the controller for quick troubleshooting.

Self-Monitoring and Safety

• Monitors internal hardware and power supply continuously.

• Enters a safety state if a fault occurs, preserving process integrity.

• Hot-swappable with compatible redundant baseplates, minimizing downtime.

Galvanic Isolation

• Group-isolated outputs protect the controller from surges, ground loops, and electrical noise.

Versatile Mounting

• Compatible with S800 termination units TU810, TU812, TU814, TU830, or TU833.

Technical Specifications Table

Applications

• Control of actuators, proportional valves, and speed controllers in process automation systems.

• High-density analog output requirements in control cabinets using ABB Ability™ System 800xA.

• Upgrades or expansions of existing S800 I/O installations without system downtime.
