Description
ABB SDN-DRI-025 Digital Input Module
The ABB SDN-DRI-025 is a high-reliability digital input module designed for ABB’s Industrial IT System 800xA and AC 500 PLC platforms, delivering seamless integration with field devices in industrial automation. Engineered for harsh environments, this 16-channel module converts switch/contact signals into digital data, ensuring real-time monitoring of machinery, safety interlocks, and process statuses. Its galvanic isolation, wide voltage tolerance, and compact design make it ideal for applications in manufacturing, energy, and process control.
1. Product Description
The SDN-DRI-025 serves as a critical interface for connecting sensors, limit switches, and pushbuttons to ABB’s control systems. Each of its 16 channels supports 24 VDC dry/wet contact inputs with 500 V AC galvanic isolation, protecting against voltage surges and EMI. Built for ABB’s S800 I/O distributed architecture, it enables hot-swap maintenance and daisy-chaining for scalable installations. Key features include:
- Dual-Mode Inputs: Compatible with dry (voltage-free) and wet (24 VDC) contacts, adapting to diverse field devices such as conveyor belts and valves.
- Fast Response: 5 ms signal capture (configurable via ABB’s Control Builder software for 1–32 ms filtering), suitable for high-speed production lines.
- Diagnostic LEDs: Real-time status indicators for power, channel activity, and faults, reducing downtime during troubleshooting.
- DIN Rail Mounting: Compact 110 mm × 100 mm × 60 mm design, optimizing cabinet space.
