FAQs

Q1: What is the difference between AO845 and AO845A?
The AO845A is the enhanced version of the AO845, offering improved accuracy, faster update rates, and additional diagnostic capabilities . The AO845A variant (specifically AO845A-EA) also supports SIL 2 certification . Both support 8 channels and redundant configurations.
Q2: Which ABB control systems is the AO845 compatible with?
The AO845 is part of the S800 I/O system and is designed for ABB System 800xA DCS and AC 800M controllers .
Q3: Does the AO845 support HART communication?
Yes. Each of the 8 output channels features HART pass-through functionality, enabling two-way digital communication for remote configuration, calibration, and asset management of smart field instruments. The output filter must be enabled on channels used for HART communication .
Q4: How does redundancy work with the AO845?
Two AO845 modules can be configured as a 1:1 redundant pair using a redundant MTU (TU842 or TU852). If the primary module fails (e.g., output circuit error, power supply issue), the system automatically switches to the standby module without interrupting the control signal .
Q5: What are the diagnostic capabilities of the AO845?
The module performs cyclic self-diagnostics, reporting:
-
External Channel Error – process power supply too low or open circuit
-
Internal Channel Error – output circuit cannot deliver correct current
-
Module Error – output transistor error, short circuit, checksum error, internal power supply error, or watchdog error
