Description
The
ABB DSAI133A 3BSE018290R1 is a high-precision
analog input module designed for ABB’s
AC 800M distributed control system (DCS), serving as a critical interface for acquiring and conditioning analog signals from field sensors in industrial automation environments. As part of the
DSAI (Distributed Standard Analog Input) series, this module is engineered to convert analog signals from temperature, pressure, and flow sensors into digital data for real-time process control and monitoring. The
DSAI133A 3BSE018290R1 features 8 isolated channels, each supporting multiple signal types (4-20 mA, 0-10 V, thermocouples, RTDs), making it versatile for diverse applications in manufacturing, energy, and process industries.
Equipped with 24-bit analog-to-digital conversion and built-in signal conditioning, the ABB DSAI133A 3BSE018290R1 ensures measurement accuracy within ±0.1% of full scale, even in high-noise environments. Its galvanic isolation (500 V AC) per channel protects the control system from voltage spikes and ground loops, while the hot-swappable design allows maintenance without disrupting operations. Positioned as a reliable and flexible solution, the module integrates seamlessly with ABB’s 800xA software platform, enabling engineers to configure signal scaling, filter settings, and diagnostic thresholds through a unified interface. By optimizing data integrity and reducing hardware complexity, the DSAI133A 3BSE018290R1 enhances system reliability and operational efficiency in mission-critical applications.

DSAI133A 3BSE018290R1
The DSAI133A 3BSE018290R1 eliminates the need for dedicated signal conditioners by supporting a wide range of sensor types. For example, in a chemical plant, the same module can acquire 4-20 mA signals from pressure transmitters, 0-10 V signals from flow meters, and thermocouple signals from reactor temperature sensors, reducing inventory complexity by 50%. The software-selectable signal types via ABB’s Control Builder M software enable quick reconfiguration for the changing process requirements, such as adapting to a new sensor during a production line upgrade.
The module’s dual-layer isolation (analog frontend + digital backend) and EMC shielding comply with IEC 61000-6-2 standards, making it suitable for harsh environments like steel mills or mining sites, where electromagnetic interference from heavy machinery is prevalent. In a paper mill’s drying section, the DSAI133A 3BSE018290R1 accurately measures steam pressure signals despite high-frequency noise from induction motors, ensuring stable control of the drying process with ±0.5°C temperature precision.
Built-in self-diagnostic functions monitor channel health, including open/short circuit detection and sensor drift alerts, reducing mean time to detect (MTTD) faults by 60%. The module’s modular design allows seamless integration with ABB’s S800 I/O system, supporting up to 128 analog input channels per controller, ideal for large-scale applications like oil refinery 集散控制系统 (DCS). For redundancy, the module can be paired with a DSAI133A in a dual configuration, ensuring continuous operation in critical processes like LNG liquefaction.
The ABB DSAI133A 3BSE018290R1 is essential in industries requiring precise analog data acquisition:
- Power Generation: Measures boiler temperatures (via K-type thermocouples) and turbine vibration (4-20 mA accelerometers) in thermal power plants, enabling predictive maintenance and compliance with emission standards.
- Food and Beverage: Monitors pasteurization temperatures (RTD sensors) and filling pressures (0-10 V transducers) in dairy production lines, ensuring product safety and consistency with ±0.1°C accuracy.
- Pharmaceuticals: Acquires sterile process parameters (e.g., pH, conductivity) in bioreactors using isolated 4-20 mA signals, meeting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for data integrity.
- Water Treatment: Measures chlorine levels (analog transmitters) and flow rates in distribution networks, optimizing chemical dosing and reducing non-revenue water losses by 15%.
