EPD for AC 800M Communication Interfaces

The product group covered in this EPD is a selection of AC 800M communications modules that make it possible to access a wide range of field devices and third-party systems. The interfaces include:

• Ethernet-based interfaces/protocols

• Serial communications

• Interfaces to ABB equipment

• Communication interfaces to heritage systems

The safety module SM812, designed for use with AC 800M controllers, is also included in this group due to its high hardware similarity to communication interfaces. It provides intelligent supervision for standard and SIL-rated applications, supports redundancy with hot-insert and online upgrade features, and offers limited safety-related digital I/O.
