ABB 216DB61 HESG324063R100J Digital Input Module
ABB 216DB61 (HESG324063R100J) is a digital input module for ABB Advant Master DCS system. It acquires discrete on/off status signals from field switches, sensors and relays, then transmits the digital data to the DCS controller for process monitoring and logic control.



This module adopts isolated channel design to suppress field electrical noise and ground loop interference. It supports rack installation and comes with built-in diagnostic function. It is an obsolete spare part, mainly used for maintenance and replacement of old ABB Advant DCS systems.
