Description
ABB SA801F Field Controller Power Module
SA801F
Designed to support industry-standard fieldbus protocols, the SA801F excels in environments where reliable communication between control systems and field devices is non-negotiable. It natively supports Profibus DP and Foundation Fieldbus H1, making it compatible with a wide range of third-party and ABB field devices, from flow meters to pressure transmitters. Its integration with ABB’s Engineering Studio software simplifies configuration, allowing engineers to map I/O points and adjust parameters without extensive on-site programming. Whether deployed in a chemical plant’s reactor zone, an oil refinery’s distillation unit, or a pharmaceutical batch processing line, the ABB SA801F enhances system agility by reducing communication latency and ensuring consistent data flow—critical for maintaining process stability and compliance with strict operational standards.

Key Features and Benefits
The ABB SA801F stands out for its multi-protocol flexibility, supporting both Profibus DP and Foundation Fieldbus H1 without hardware modifications. This eliminates the need for separate interface modules in mixed-protocol environments—common in process industries where legacy Profibus devices coexist with modern Foundation Fieldbus instruments—reducing cabinet space and hardware costs.

In oil refineries, the SA801F links pressure transmitters and temperature sensors in crude distillation units to the DCS, ensuring operators can monitor and adjust process parameters—such as column pressure or reflux rates—with minimal delay. Its redundancy feature is particularly valuable here, as communication failures in these units could lead to unsafe pressure buildups or product quality issues.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers use the ABB SA801F to integrate batch controllers and weighing scales with the AC 800M DCS, ensuring compliance with FDA regulations by providing auditable data trails of process variables. Its easy configuration via Engineering Studio also simplifies validation, a key step in pharmaceutical production workflows.
- ABB SA802F – Advanced variant of the SA801F with support for additional protocols (e.g., Modbus RTU over Fieldbus) and higher device capacity (up to 64 per segment).
- ABB SA800F – Predecessor model with limited Foundation Fieldbus H1 support, replaced by the SA801F for enhanced compatibility.
- ABB AI810 – Analog input module designed to pair with the SA801F, adding 8-channel analog signal processing for non-fieldbus devices.
- ABB AO810 – Analog output module compatible with the SA801F, controlling actuators like control valves via 4–20 mA signals.
- ABB CI854A – Ethernet interface module that works alongside the SA801F to extend DCS connectivity to industrial Ethernet networks.
- ABB SA801F-001 – Ruggedized version of the SA801F with extended temperature range (-40°C to 70°C) for offshore or arctic applications.
