ABB Select I/O SYSTEM is fundamentally designed to dismantle traditional project bottlenecks by enabling unprecedented parallel task execution. A cornerstone of this design is the physical and functional separation of the termination infrastructure from the electronic intelligence. This allows termination units, complete with their field terminal blocks, to be installed and wired on-site long before the final automation design or controller programming is solidified. Consequently, critical path activities like cabinet fabrication, electrical installation, and field wiring can proceed entirely independently from application logic development and system configuration within the engineering office. This decoupling of hardware and software tasks provides project managers with immense flexibility, shielding the overall schedule from delays in any single workstream. Site engineering teams are no longer held hostage by the pace of software development, enabling a significant compression of the total project timeline and ensuring that automation projects are delivered on-time and under budget.
ABB Select I/O SYSTEM Eliminates Classic Marshalling and Standardizes Cabinetry
The revolutionary single-channel granularity of the ABB Select I/O SYSTEM delivers profound benefits that streamline the entire engineering lifecycle. A key advantage is the elimination of classic marshalling, a historically labor-intensive and error-prone process. Since any Signal Conditioning Module (SCM) can be inserted into any slot of a Module Termination Unit (MTU), the rigid pre-assignment of I/O types to specific physical locations is no longer necessary. This breakthrough allows for the complete standardization of I/O cabinetry, which can be pre-fabricated and stocked, drastically reducing custom design work and repetitive testing efforts. The system's inherent flexibility dramatically minimizes the impact of late-stage design changes, a common and costly occurrence in automation projects. When an I/O signal type requires modification, engineers simply replace the low-cost, channel-specific SCM rather than undertaking complex and time-consuming rewiring or cabinet rework, thereby safeguarding project budgets and schedules.
ABB Select I/O SYSTEM Integrates Comprehensive Diagnostics and Built-in Redundancy
Beyond simplifying engineering, the ABB Select I/O SYSTEM is architected for high availability and operational reliability in demanding industrial environments. The system offers a comprehensive and optional redundancy strategy that can be implemented down to the level of individual Signal Conditioning Modules. This holistic approach encompasses redundant 24V power supplies, redundant Ethernet Fieldbus Communication Interfaces (FCIs), and redundant internal bus architectures, ensuring maximum system uptime. Furthermore, the system is equipped with enhanced diagnostic capabilities and continuous self-testing features. These include advanced loop supervision for all analog and discrete signal types, providing early warning of potential field device or wiring failures. This robust combination of granular redundancy and proactive diagnostics empowers operators to maintain a highly resilient control system, minimizing unplanned downtime and enhancing overall plant safety and productivity.
ABB Select I/O SYSTEM Significantly Reduces Footprint and Total Equipment Cost
The innovative design principles of the ABB Select I/O SYSTEM translate directly into substantial physical and economic savings. By integrating critical functions such as a built-in disconnect mechanism, field loop current limitation, and employing channel-wise replaceable terminal blocks, the system renders a vast array of ancillary components obsolete. The removal of traditional marshalling cabinets and associated hardware leads to a dramatic reduction in the overall footprint of the I/O installation. In large, centralized applications, this can result in up to a 50% reduction in the number of required cabinets, depending on the mix of signal types. The high-density SCM concept, where a single standard cabinet can accommodate up to 672 I/O channels, maximizes space utilization. This compact design, coupled with the reduced need for custom engineering and hardware, delivers a significantly lower total cost of ownership, from initial capital expenditure through to long-term operation and maintenance.
