HART pass-through:
Media: The system has pass-through functionality and can be connected either as local I/O (S800) or as Remote I/O.
Purpose: Makes HART data available for clients, e.g. Fieldbus Builder
Protocol: HART protocol
SW interface: Process data via 4 – 20 mA signal are I/O copied to application variables. HART data (status and diagnostic data) are available via “pass-through”.
HW Interface: S800 I/O modules AI845, AI895, AO845 and AO845 S900 I/O modules AI930/931 and AO930
OPC interface: Yes, via HART OPC server

Packing&Delivery
In order to save the freight and reduce your budget, we choose the packaging for environment-friendly. We use foam board with 3 cm thick to fill in all around the box inside to protect parts, then use carton to pack the parts, but if they are too heavy, we will customized the wooden box for them.Shipping term DHL Fedex TNT EMS UPS.

Key Parameters and Features
Core Features & Advantages
-
Compact 16-Channel Design with OSP Safety: The module's standout feature is its 16-channel design in a compact form factor, offering a space-saving solution for discrete output applications. The Output Set to Predetermined (OSP) function allows outputs to be automatically set to a user-defined safe state (on/off) in the event of a communication loss, providing deterministic behavior during system faults.
-
Short-Circuit Proof Source Outputs: The DO801-eA uses current sourcing (source-type) outputs with on-board current limiting, providing robust short-circuit protection that automatically recovers after a fault is cleared. This solid-state design eliminates contact wear and arcing issues associated with relay outputs, ensuring a long operational life and high reliability.
-
Wide Application and System Compatibility: As part of the S800/S800L I/O family, the module supports both standard S800 I/O racks and the compact S800L remote I/O system. The "-eA" designation indicates enhanced communication support, allowing direct integration with various control systems via protocols such as Profibus-DP, Modbus TCP, and EtherNet/IP.
-
Extended Temperature Range and Robust Design: The module operates over a wide temperature range of -20°C to +70°C, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments such as chemical plants, power generation, and mining. The group isolation (50V) and module-to-bus isolation (1500V) help protect the control system from field-side electrical noise and surges.
Typical Applications
The DO801-eA is an ideal solution for digital output control in process and hybrid industries, including:
-
General Purpose Actuation: Driving interposing relays, solenoid valves, and indicator lamps.
-
Material Handling: Controlling conveyor sections and packaging machinery.
-
Power Generation: Commanding actuators and alarm annunciators in power plants.
-
Water & Wastewater: Operating valve actuators and pump control relays in treatment facilities.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the primary function of the DO801-eA module?
A: It is a digital output module that provides 16 channels of 24V DC source-type output signals to control field devices like relays and solenoid valves based on logic commands from an ABB S800/S800L I/O system.
Q2: What is the key difference between DO801-eA and a relay output module?
A: The DO801-eA is a transistor-based (solid-state) output module with a maximum current rating of 0.5A per channel. It is designed for fast, maintenance-free switching. Relay output modules typically have higher contact current ratings but are slower and have a limited mechanical life.
Q3: What does "current sourcing" mean for the DO801-eA?
A: "Current sourcing" (or source output) means the module's output terminal provides the positive voltage (+24V) to the load. The other side of the load is connected to the common or ground (0V). This is a common configuration for controlling loads in PLC systems.
Q4: What are the key protection features of the DO801-eA?
A: The DO801-eA features built-in short-circuit, overvoltage, and overtemperature protection on each output channel. The short-circuit protection is current-limiting and automatically recovers after the fault is removed.
Q5: What is the Output Set to Predetermined (OSP) function?
A: The OSP feature allows the module to drive its outputs to a predefined safe state in the event of a communication failure with the controller. This ensures a deterministic behavior during system faults.
Q6: What termination units (MTUs) are compatible with the DO801-eA?
A: The module is compatible with TU8xx series MTUs for standard S800 I/O racks. For the compact S800L system, it uses a dedicated base for DIN rail mounting, which is not directly interchangeable with the standard S800 TU8xx series.
Q7: What is the maximum field cable length for the DO801-eA?
A: The maximum recommended field cable length is 600 meters, ensuring reliable signal transmission over significant distances in a plant.
Q8: What is the -eA designation?
A: The "-eA" suffix indicates the S800L variant, which is designed for compact, cost-effective remote I/O applications. It offers the same core functionality but with a smaller footprint and Profibus connectivity for use with Freelance and other PLC systems.
