Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Can AI930S be used in Zone 0?A: No – module is for Zone 1 only. But it can read sensors installed in Zone 0.
- Q: What HART data can I get from this module?A: Primary variable (PV) plus up to 4 cyclic HART variables. All device data via FDT.
- Q: Does it power 2-wire transmitters?A: Yes – module provides loop power internally (intrinsically safe).
- Q: Can I mix AI930S with non-HART modules on same bus?A: Yes – S900 system supports mixed module types on same PROFIBUS segment.
- Q: What is the difference between AI930S and AI910B?A: AI930S has HART and Zone 1 certification. AI910B is non-HART for Zone 2.
- Q: How many HART devices can I connect?A: 4 channels – each channel supports one HART transmitter.
- Q: Does it support burst mode HART?A: Yes – cyclic HART variables can be transmitted in burst mode.
- Q: What software works best with AI930S?A: ABB Field Information Manager (FIM) or any FDT-compliant tool.
Selection Guide
- Choose AI930S if you need:
- HART communication with 4-20mA signals
- Zone 1 hazardous area installation
- Intrinsically safe loop power for transmitters
- G3 corrosion protection for harsh plants
- Consider alternatives if:
- No HART needed – choose ABB AI910B (Zone 2) or AI920B (HART optional)
- Zone 2 only – select AI910B to save cost
- Temperature sensors – use AI930B RTD/TC module
