Select I/O is an Ethernet networked, single channel granular I/O system for the ABB Ability™ System 800xA automation platform. Select I/O helps decouple project tasks, minimizes the impact of late changes, and supports standardization of I/O cabinetry ensuring automation projects are delivered on time and under budget. A Signal Conditioning Module (SCM) performs the necessary signal conditioning and powering of the connected field device for one I/O channel.
The GFS810 provides ground fault detection for signals with field supply sources from external power injection.
Features and Benefits
Ground fault detection for signals with field supply sourced from external power injection.
Measuring of resistance to ground to provide it as an analog value to the application.
Can be used with all GIO module types (GIS810 and GIS880).
Galvanic isolation.
Diagnostics:
Line break supervision of ground connection.
Internal self-test.
Test option for ground fault detection function (through external button).
LED indicators on the SCM indicate the operational state of the module.
