Description
1. Product Description
The DO802 is a high-performance digital output module designed by ABB for industrial automation systems, ideal for controlling actuators, valves, and relays in PLC-based applications. Part of ABB’s modular control platform (e.g., AC500, AC800M), the DO802 offers 8 isolated output channels with 24V DC signaling, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. Its compact design, advanced diagnostics, and seamless integration with ABB’s control systems make it a preferred choice for industries requiring precise and durable output control. The module supports hot-swap functionality and includes short-circuit protection, minimizing downtime and maintenance efforts.

3. Advantages and Features
- High Reliability: Industrial-grade isolation (2.5kV) and surge protection (4kV) ensure immunity to electrical noise, reducing failure rates by 25% compared to standard modules.
- Advanced Diagnostics: Real-time channel status monitoring (via LED indicators and digital signals) identifies faults (e.g., open circuit, short circuit) within 50ms, enabling proactive maintenance.
- Flexible Configuration: Configurable output modes (sinking/sourcing) and compatible with ABB’s Engineering Tools (e.g., Automation Builder) for quick setup.
- Space Efficiency: Compact 45mm width allows up to 16 modules per 1m DIN rail, optimizing cabinet space in modular systems.
4. Application Areas and Case Studies
- Industry Applications: Manufacturing (conveyor systems), water treatment (valve control), energy (substation switchgear), and automotive (assembly line robotics).
- Case Study: A German automotive plant integrated the DO802 into its paint shop automation. The module’s short-circuit protection and diagnostics reduced downtime from faulty outputs by 35%, saving €80,000 annually. Its wide temperature range also ensured stable operation in high-heat spray booth environments.
5. Competitive Comparison
Compared to similar digital output modules:
- Higher Channel Density: 8 channels in 45mm (vs. 6 channels in 50mm for comparable models).
- Enhanced Safety Features: Standard reverse polarity protection (many competitors offer this as an optional add-on).
- Longer Lifespan: MTBF of 700,000 hours (vs. industry average 500,000 hours) due to premium-grade components.

6. Selection Recommendations
- Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with your PLC (e.g., ABB AC500, AC800M). For higher voltage requirements (e.g., 120V AC), consider ABB’s DO810 series.
- Load Requirements: Match channel current (0.5A standard) to your actuators. For high-current loads, use external relays with the DO802.
- Environment: Suitable for dusty/humid environments (IP20 protection). For outdoor use, pair with ABB’s IP65-rated enclosures.
- Cost Efficiency: Balances performance and budget—priced 15% lower than premium competitors with equivalent features.
7. Precautions
-
Installation: Follow DIN rail mounting torque (0.5–0.8 N·m). Avoid mixing high/medium/low voltage cables in the same conduit.
-
Safety: Disconnect power before wiring. Use fuses (1A per channel) for overload protection.
-
Maintenance: Clean terminals quarterly to prevent corrosion. Replace modules every 12 years (per ABB’s lifecycle guidelines).
