Core Function
The ABB AI895 module performs the following key functions:
-
Analog signal acquisition
Converts 4–20 mA current signals from field transmitters into digital process data for the control system.
-
HART communication support
Enables simultaneous transmission of analog process values and digital diagnostic information through the same current loop.
-
Intrinsic safety interface
Provides built-in safety protection for connecting field devices installed in hazardous environments.
-
Two-wire transmitter power supply
Each channel can power and monitor two-wire process transmitters while maintaining intrinsic safety requirements.
-
Reliable process monitoring
Supports measurement of industrial parameters including pressure, flow, temperature, and level signals.
