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

System Integration Notes
-
Compatible MTUs (Module Termination Units): The DO820 requires a compatible termination unit. Supported bases include:
-
TU811 / TU811V1 – standard screw termination
-
TU813 – screw termination with fuse
-
TU831 / TU831V1 – standard spring termination
-
TU836 / TU837 – extended temperature range
-
TU851 – with fuse and relay output
-
Keying Code: AD – mechanical anti-insertion keying prevents insertion of incorrect module type
-
OSP (Output Safe Preset): Configure predetermined output states (safe/off or hold last value) to be applied upon module or communication failure. Ensure proper configuration before commissioning .
-
Relay Supply Supervision: The module monitors the 24V relay drive voltage derived from the ModuleBus. Loss of this supply triggers the Warning LED and can be read as a diagnostic error via the bus. This feature can be enabled/disabled by parameter .
Applications
The ABB DO820 is suited for discrete output control across a wide range of industries:
-
Process Industries: Driving solenoid valves, actuators, and alarm indicators in chemical, oil & gas, and water/wastewater plants
-
Power Generation: Control of contactors, relays, and auxiliary systems in thermal and hydroelectric plants
-
Factory Automation: Switching of motors, conveyors, and packaging equipment
-
General Purpose: High-voltage AC/DC load switching where galvanic isolation and robust relay contacts are essential

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How many output channels does the DO820 have, and what type of outputs are they?
The DO820 provides 8 output channels based on electromechanical relays with Normally Open (NO) contacts (Form A / SPST) .
Q2: What voltage and current can the outputs handle?
Each channel supports a wide voltage range of 5–250 V AC/DC with a maximum continuous current of 3 A (resistive load) .
Q3: Is the DO820 suitable for high-speed switching applications?
No. As a relay-based output module, it has mechanical switching limitations—max 9 ms operate time and 2000 operations per hour at rated load. It is designed for conventional ON/OFF control, not high-frequency PWM or pulse applications .
Q4: Do I need a special base (MTU) to use this module?
Yes. The DO820 must be installed on one of the following compatible MTUs: TU811, TU813, TU831, TU836, TU837, or TU851. Check the specific TU type and revision for your chassis .
Q5: What diagnostic features does the DO820 offer?
The module provides front-panel LEDs: Fault (F), Run (R), Warning (W), Output Safe Preset (OSP), and individual channel status LEDs. It also supervises relay supply voltage and can report errors via the ModuleBus .
Q6: Does the DO820 support hot swapping?
Yes, the DO820 supports hot swap—modules can be replaced while the system remains operational, minimizing downtime .
Q7: What is the maximum field cable length for DO820 outputs?
The maximum recommended field cable length is 600 meters (656 yards) when using shielded cable .
Q8: What is the Output Safe Preset (OSP) function?
OSP allows the module to automatically set outputs to a predetermined safe state (e.g., all off or hold last value) in the event of a communication or module fault. This safety feature must be configured in the system parameters .
Q9: What is the typical power consumption of the module?
Typical power dissipation is 2.9 W. The module draws 60 mA from the +5V ModuleBus and 140 mA from the +24V ModuleBus .
Q10: Is the module intrinsically safe for hazardous areas?
No, the DO820 is not intrinsically safe. However, it can be installed in certain hazardous locations when used with appropriate external barriers or enclosures per local regulations
