S900 I/O system provides input and output modules required for intrinsically safe field signal connection. The field signal is digitized and electrically isolated in each S900 functional module, and then output through the internal serial bus. The communication interface converts the signal to adapt to the standard PROFIBUS-DP V1 field bus protocol. Monitoring process control system, DCS or SCADA system communicate with communication interface through intrinsically safe field bus.

Introduction to S900 I/O system

S900 provides the input and output modules needed for intrinsically safe field signal connection. The field signals are digitized in every S900 func tional module, electrically isolated, and then output via an internal serial bus. The communication inter face converts the signals to adapt them to the stan dardized PROFIBUS-DP V1 fieldbus protocol. Supervisory process control systems, DCS or SCADA systems use an intrinsically safe fieldbus to communicate with the communication inter face. A PROFIBUS connect allows the configu ration of the individual S900 stations with cyclic data exchange, acyclic services and communica tion with HART-compatible field instruments. All functional modules can be replaced easily and quickly, which is an advantage especially in the   installation or maintenance phase in hazardous area. 

The functional modules and the – optionally redundant – communication interface modules placed in Zone 1 can be removed and plugged in while operation is running. Integrated encapsulated switch-off mechanisms allow for hot swapping of the power supplies. Due to its little space requirements and robust design and its environmentally ruggedized case, the S900 Remote I/O System is a cost-saving   solution for use on site, in hazardous Zone 1 or Zone 2 areas (ATEX). No external signal adaptation   or routing required S900 provides various input and output modules: Analog input modules with or without integral transmitter supply, or with direct temperature measuring input for 2-, 3- or 4-wire resistance thermometers or thermocouples with internal cold junction compensation. Analog output   modules for direct positioner or actuator control. Solenoid driver units or NAMUR inputs for intrin sically safe and short-circuit-proof power supply of digital field instruments. Additionally, options are available for critical   applications, allowing for channel-wise electrical isolation of the inputs and outputs. S900 permits direct connection of the entire field level through only 2 lines. As no separate routing, power supply or fusing is needed, the installation cost is reduced considerably. Three different series with different use and with different approvals are available.

LD 810HSE EX LD 810 HSE EX Linking Device LD 810 HSE EX module for DIN rail mounting with 4 H1 links and one HSE connector. The module itself needs external 24 VDC power supply. H1 links must be powered separately. Restrictions: Linking Device LD 810HSE Ex is not suitable for replacing one of the LD 800 Linking Devices in a redundant pair. To clarify, both devices in the redundant pair must be replaced with LD 810HSE Ex. Redundancy cable for LD 810HSE Ex can be made / procured by the end customer directly & need not be ordered through ABB.
