Overview

The ABB DO610 is part of the Advant Master Process Control System and ABB’s System 800 I/O family, providing robust digital output functionality for distributed control architectures. It delivers 32 non-isolated digital outputs, each capable of driving loads up to 200 mA at 24 VDC. Moreover, the module is engineered for long service life, EMC compliance, and wide temperature tolerance, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Its modular design supports DIN rail installation and hot-swapping, which simplifies system expansion and maintenance. In addition, the DO610 integrates seamlessly with ABB controllers and supports communication protocols such as Profibus DP and Modbus, ensuring compatibility with third-party systems. Therefore, it is widely adopted in industries requiring scalable and reliable digital output solutions.
