Overview

The ABB DO810 Digital Output Module is engineered to deliver precise and robust control signals in distributed control systems (DCS). It features 16 individually protected output channels, each capable of sourcing 24V DC current to field devices such as actuators, solenoids, and relays. Moreover, the module includes built-in diagnostics and LED indicators for each channel, simplifying maintenance and fault detection. Its outputs are divided into two isolated groups, each with independent voltage supervision to enhance system reliability. In addition, the DO810 integrates seamlessly with ABB’s AC 800M and 800xA platforms, making it ideal for scalable automation architectures.
