ABB 216DB61 HESG324063R100/H Digital Output Module

Product Overview

The ABB 216DB61 HESG324063R100/H is a critical 16-channel digital output (DO) module designed for the S900 I/O platform, which is integral to the Bailey INFI 90 and Symphony Harmony distributed control systems (DCS). This module acts as the vital link between the control logic of the DCS and the physical devices in the field, executing commands to start, stop, or modulate equipment.

It is responsible for converting low-power logic signals from the controller into isolated, higher-power signals to switch relays, activate solenoid valves, control motor starters, illuminate pilot lights, and operate other critical industrial actuators. The "HESG324063R100/H" suffix often denotes a specific factory assembly or revision code, confirming its authenticity as a genuine ABB part.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• High-Density Design: 16 independent digital output channels on a single module, optimizing control cabinet space and reducing wiring complexity.

• Relay/Inductive Load Driving: Each channel is typically designed to switch DC voltages (e.g., 24-48 VDC) or, with external relays, AC loads, making it versatile for various field devices.

• High Reliability & Isolation: Features channel-to-channel and channel-to-system isolation. This protects the sensitive control system from voltage spikes, noise, and faults originating in the field wiring, which is crucial for 24/7 industrial environments.

• LED Status Indicators: Each channel is equipped with an LED to provide immediate visual confirmation of its output status (ON/OFF), drastically simplifying diagnostics and troubleshooting.

• S900 I/O Compatibility: Designed to plug directly into a dedicated slot within an S900 I/O field baseplate (e.g., FB11S, FB21S), which provides power and communication.

• INFI-NET Communication: Communicates with the main control network via a paired Communication Module (e.g., NISB21, NISP21) in the same fieldbus unit.

Primary Applications

This module is a workhorse in continuous process industries where discrete control commands are essential for safety and operation:

• Power Generation: Starting and stopping pumps, fans, and auxiliary equipment; activating alarm horns and indicators.

• Oil & Gas: Operating solenoid valves for emergency shutdown (ESD) systems, controlling tank farm pumps, and activating wellhead controls.

• Chemical Processing: Controlling batch sequence operations, opening/closing motor-operated valves (MOVs), and managing packaging lines.

• Water Treatment: Initiating pump sequences, controlling filter backwash cycles, and activating chemical feed systems.

• Manufacturing: Automating machinery sequences and controlling material handling systems.

Compatibility & System Integration

The 216DB61 module is an integral part of the ABB Bailey ecosystem. It is designed for use with:

• DCS Platforms: Bailey INFI 90, Symphony Harmony

• I/O System: S900 I/O

• Hardware: It must be installed in an S900 I/O field baseplate. The entire S900 branch communicates with the process controller (e.g., MFC01, MFP02) via a Network Interface Module (NIM) and a Communication Module (COM).

Why Source This Module From a Specialist?

For plants still operating with Bailey INFI 90 systems, the 216DB61 HESG324063R100/H is a legacy component essential for maintaining operations.

• Minimizing Downtime: Having a tested and certified spare on hand is critical for rapid response to hardware failures.

• Assured Quality: Specialist suppliers provide modules that are rigorously tested to meet original performance specifications, unlike uncertified sources.

• System Longevity: Sourcing genuine or high-quality refurbished modules allows plants to extend the life of their proven DCS investment safely and cost-effectively.

FAQs

Q: Is this a new, used, or refurbished module?
A: We specialize in fully refurbished, tested, and certified modules. Each unit undergoes a rigorous process to ensure it meets original ABB performance specifications and comes with a warranty.

Q: Can you confirm the output type (e.g., voltage, current rating)?
A: Absolutely. Please contact our technical team for the detailed datasheet. Typically, these modules switch DC voltages, but ratings can vary. Correct configuration is essential for your application.

Q: My module has failed. Do you offer repair services?
A: Yes, we offer comprehensive repair and recalibration services for faulty 216DB61 modules. We can often repair them faster and more cost-effectively than sourcing a new replacement.

Q: Is the HESG324063R100/H code important?
