IndustrialIT System 800xA Advant Master S400 I/O to S800 I/O Evolution

IndustrialIT System 800xA Advant Master S400 I/O to S800 I/O Evolution

ABB’s S400 I/O system has been around since 1986 and created a reputation for itself world-wide as a capable and reliable I/O system. But these days, spares are getting ever harder to come by, and the system does not support the industry-standard field buses of today

Consequently ABB has developed a replacement solution, based on its current – and future – I/O system S800, which is designed to provide expanded functionality, greater flexibility, higher reliability, and improved self-diagnostics. More specific benefits available when upgrading from S400 I/O are: 

• Retain existing field wiring, right up to their plug-in connectors. 

• Unscrew the old unit and put the new one in its place! It will fit perfectly, down to the existing screw holes, DIN rail and connectors. 

• Pretested functionality, from the connector sockets in. 

• Shortest possible downtime. Just plug in and produce! 

• Enables HART® fieldbus support and thereby management of intelligent field devices from a central point. The evolution units consist of platemounted S800 I/O modules with exactly the same footprint and mounting alternatives (corner screws or DIN rails) as those of the old S400 units. And of plug connector sockets and intermediate wiring that match up to the existing field wiring and its connectors perfectly
