ABB AI562 1TNE968902R1102 Analog Input Module

Product Introduction

The ABB AI562 (1TNE968902R1102) Analog Input Module is an advanced input interface unit designed to integrate seamlessly with ABB’s AC500 series programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It provides analog signal acquisition with HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication support, making it ideal for modern industrial automation environments that require both process data acquisition and intelligent device communication.

The AI562 module is purpose-built for industries that utilize smart field devices, offering users the capability to not only measure standard analog signals (such as 0–10 V or 4–20 mA) but also to communicate bi-directionally with HART-enabled sensors and transmitters. This adds significant value in terms of diagnostics, device calibration, and real-time monitoring. Its design is rugged, compact, and energy-efficient, suitable for long-term operation in harsh industrial environments.
