ABB XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102 Digital Input Module
Product Overview
The ABB XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102 is a high-performance digital input module designed for ABB’s AC800M DCS (Distributed Control System) platform. It serves as a critical interface between field sensors and the DCS, converting discrete on/off signals from devices such as limit switches, proximity sensors, and pressure switches into digital data that the system’s controller can process. This functionality enables real-time monitoring of equipment status in industrial automation processes.
The ABB XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102 features 16 input channels, each supporting 24V DC signals, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial sensors. It is engineered with galvanic isolation (250V AC) between channels and the backplane, protecting against electrical noise and ground loops—common in environments with heavy machinery. This isolation ensures accurate signal detection even in noisy settings like chemical plants or power stations.
As part of the AC800M ecosystem, the ABB XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102 integrates seamlessly with components such as the AC800M CPU (e.g., PM864K01), CI854A (communication module), and TU846 (terminal unit). It operates in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C, resists dust, vibrations, and humidity, and fits into standard ABB DCS racks, ensuring reliable performance in harsh industrial conditions.
The module’s compact design and LED status indicators for each channel simplify installation and troubleshooting, allowing technicians to quickly identify issues like loose connections or faulty sensors. Whether used in small-scale process control or large industrial complexes, the ABB XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102 forms the foundation of responsive and accurate data acquisition in automation systems.

Main features and advantages
16-channel capacity: The XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102 offers 16 channels in a compact form, allowing simultaneous monitoring of 16 discrete sensors—such as 16 limit switches on a production line. This reduces the number of modules needed in the rack, saving space in control cabinets.
Wide voltage compatibility: It accepts 24V DC inputs with a 18–30V range, matching most industrial sensors. This compatibility eliminates the need for signal converters, simplifying integration into existing sensor networks.
Galvanic isolation: 250V AC isolation between channels and the backplane blocks electrical noise and ground loops. This is critical in environments with heavy machinery, such as chemical plants, where noise could cause false signals. The XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102 ensures only valid sensor data reaches the controller.
Industrial durability: The module operates in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C and resists dust, vibrations, and humidity. It performs reliably in harsh settings—from freezing warehouses to humid pulp mills—reducing unplanned downtime.
Clear status monitoring: LED indicators on the front panel show the input status of each channel (on/off). This allows technicians to quickly identify issues like broken wires or faulty sensors without opening the control cabinet, speeding up troubleshooting.
Seamless integration with AC800M: The XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102 fits directly into AC800M racks, connecting to the backplane for power and data. It works with ABB’s Control Builder M software for easy configuration, reducing setup time.
Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Power off the AC800M rack before installing the XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102. Check that the rack has an open slot and that the power supply (e.g., PS860) provides 24V DC within the 18–30V range. Inspect the module for physical damage, ensuring connectors are clean and intact. Use an anti-static wristband to handle the module to avoid static damage.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102 monthly. Check for loose wiring to connected sensors and wipe dust from the surface with a dry cloth. Monitor LED indicators to ensure channels activate as expected—consistently “off” channels may indicate a sensor fault. Test input signals annually using a multimeter to verify accuracy. Replace the XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102 if faults persist after troubleshooting, following proper shutdown procedures to avoid damaging other rack components.
Application fields
The ABB XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102 is widely used in process industries requiring discrete signal monitoring:
In chemical processing, it monitors valve position sensors and emergency stop buttons. For example, it detects when a shutdown valve is closed, sending a signal to the AC800M PM864K01 CPU. The CPU uses this data to halt reactor operations if a hazard is detected, ensuring safety.
In power generation, the XVC768AE102 3BHB007211R0102 tracks switchgear status in substations. It monitors circuit breaker positions and relay contacts, providing real-time data to the DCS. This allows operators to quickly respond to electrical faults, preventing power outages.
In pulp and paper manufacturing, it monitors conveyor belt sensors and dryer door interlocks. Signals from the module tell the CPU when a belt is jammed or a door is open, triggering automatic shutdowns to prevent equipment damage.
In water treatment, the module monitors float switches in storage tanks and pump status sensors. It sends data to the DCS, which adjusts pump operation based on tank levels, ensuring consistent water flow and compliance with regulatory standards.
