PM510V16 3BSE008358R1 ABB Redundant Ethernet Single Channel I/O System

ABB has introduced a new ABB Capability System PM510V16 3BSE008358R1 on its automation platform; a redundant Ethernet-based single-channel I/O system called “Select I/O”. Select I/O supports abb’s project execution mode called Smart Project, which provides efficiency gains for automation projects.

Select I/O allows the user to install standardised cabinets with field connection bases early in the project period, and then select the type of I/O much later. the PM510V16 3BSE008358R1 uses digitised ganging signals rather than space and labour intensive ganging panels, and allows cycle checking to be completed before the rest of the system is delivered. This minimises the impact of late changes and allows project tasks to be completed simultaneously.

The Select I/O Solutions network PM510V16 3BSE008358R1 connects to an embedded redundant switch via an Ethernet fieldbus communication interface (FCI) and uses individual Signal Conditioning Modules (SCMS) for process and safety I/O. In addition to being temperature rated from -40 to 70 degrees Celsius and each channel being galvanically isolated, each SCM has current In addition to a temperature rating of -40 to 70 degrees Celsius and galvanic isolation for each channel, each SCM is current limited and has a “field disconnect” mode for added protection. Line monitoring DIS, SOE and high current options are also available to reduce the need for ancillary third party equipment, which helps to standardise on the I/O cabinet.
