Schneider STBACI8320 HART Analog Input Module

Schneider STBACI8320 Advantys STB HART Analog Input Module

Product Introduction

The STBACI8320 belongs to the Schneider Electric Advantys STB distributed I/O platform. This standard analog input module provides four single-ended channels for current signals. Furthermore, it supports both 4-20mA and 0-20mA ranges while remaining HART-compatible. The module delivers 12-bit resolution, which suits process measurement tasks in hybrid automation systems. Additionally, 1500V AC isolation between field and bus protects connected equipment from electrical noise. Because the product is discontinued and superseded by the Modicon X80 range, buyers should verify availability before ordering.

Technical Specifications

The STBACI8320 module offers four single-ended input channels. Specifically, each channel accepts 4-20mA or 0-20mA current signals and passes HART digital data. The resolution reaches 12 bits, which supports reliable signal discrimination. Additionally, the module works with STBNIP, STBNDP, STBNMP, and STBNCO network interface modules. Isolation reaches 1500V AC field-to-bus, protecting the bus side from field faults. Hot swapping is supported, so maintenance stays simple. Moreover, the module fits the standard Advantys STB footprint for consistent panel layout.

Electrical and Mechanical Parameters

The module receives 24V DC supply voltage through a PDM. The STBACI8320 fits an STBXBA1000 I/O base with a 13.9 mm width. Besides, the compatible PDM is the STBPDT3100 (24V DC). The protection rating is IP20, so the module suits cabinet-mounted installations. Operating and storage temperature data are not available from the manufacturer. Therefore, users should confirm thermal limits with Schneider Electric or test under actual conditions.

Installation Guide

First, mount the STBXBA1000 base onto the DIN rail. Next, connect the STBPDT3100 PDM to supply 24V DC power. Then, wire the 4-20mA field signals to the four single-ended input channels. After that, insert the STBACI8320 module into the base. Because hot swapping is supported, you can install or remove the module while the system runs. However, always follow local electrical codes and plant safety procedures. Finally, configure the module in the Advantys configuration software and verify HART communication.
