Thanks to its broad connectivity it fits a wide range of process controllers from ABB and others. By permitting installation in the field, close to sensors and actuators, S800 I/O reduces the installation cost by reducing the cost of cabling. And thanks to features such as hot swap of modules, on-line reconfiguration and redundancy options, it contributes to keeping production -- and thereby profits up.

S800 I/O features include:

• Comprehensive coverage
• Flexible configuration and installation
• Ease of set up
• Reliability and accuracy
• HART pass-through
• Redundancy also on I/O module level
• High Integrity I/O modules certified to SIL3
• High accuracy time tagging
• Defined outputs at communication errors
• I/O modules with Intrinsic Safety interfaces

S800 I/O is used in applications around the world by numerous industries and control systems.

The various applications require a high flexibility in the signal interfacing and field wiring termination to adapt to user preferences and engineering or maintenance methods.

Several termination and signal adaption product lines can be used to adopt to the needs in each and every installation. The following products have integrated solutions with S800 I/O:
