Description
ABB SPSED01 Digital Input Module
The ABB SPSED01 is a high-performance digital input module designed for industrial automation systems, specifically tailored for ABB’s Bailey INFI 90 and Symphony Plus distributed control systems (DCS). This module serves as a critical interface for connecting field devices to control systems, enabling reliable monitoring and control in harsh industrial environments. With its advanced features and robust design, the SPSED01 is widely used in power generation, oil and gas, chemical processing, and other industries requiring precise event logging and real-time data acquisition.
The
SPSED01 is a
16-channel digital input module engineered to interface with dry contact or voltage signals from sensors, switches, and other field devices. It supports
Event Sequence of Events (SOE) functionality, which records the exact timestamp of input state changes with microsecond precision, making it ideal for critical applications where event logging is essential. The module operates at
24 VDC and integrates seamlessly with ABB’s
Symphony Plus and
System 800xA control platforms, ensuring compatibility with legacy and modern automation systems.
Key design elements include:
- Galvanic Isolation: Protects against voltage spikes and ground loops, ensuring signal integrity in noisy environments.
- Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -20°C to +60°C, suitable for extreme industrial conditions.
- DIN Rail Mounting: Compact form factor (117 mm x 45 mm x 148.5 mm) for easy installation in control cabinets.
- Self-Diagnostic Capabilities: Monitors module health and reports faults via system diagnostics.
The SPSED01 is commonly used in applications requiring high-speed event detection, such as turbine control, emergency shutdown systems, and safety interlocks.

Case Study:
In a Saudi Arabian oil refinery, the SPSED01 was deployed to monitor 128 safety-related signals across multiple units. Its SOE functionality enabled operators to pinpoint the root cause of a reactor shutdown within seconds, reducing downtime by 25% and saving over $300,000 in production losses. The module’s robust design also mitigated damage from lightning-induced voltage surges, ensuring continuous operation during severe weather events.
The SPSED01 outperforms comparable digital input modules in the market through:
- Superior SOE Accuracy: ±1 ms vs. typical 5–10 ms in 竞品,critical for high-speed event analysis.
- Wide Temperature Range: Operates up to +60°C, compared to standard modules limited to +50°C.
- ABB Ecosystem Integration: Seamless compatibility with Symphony Plus and System 800xA, eliminating the need for additional interface modules.

SPSED01
When choosing the SPSED01:
- Event Logging Needs: Opt for this module if your application requires high-precision SOE (e.g., turbine protection systems).
- Environmental Conditions: Select the extended temperature range (-20°C to +60°C) for outdoor or high-temperature environments.
- System Compatibility: Ensure your control system uses INFI 90 or Symphony Plus to leverage full functionality.
