Product Overview

The ABB DO814 (3BUR001455R1) is a high-density digital output component designed for the S800 I/O family within Advant OCS and 800xA distributed control systems. This module features 16 channels configured for 24V DC current sinking (low-side switching). Engineered to drive industrial actuators, solenoids, and indicators, the DO814 provides a centralized interface for digital command execution. Its design emphasizes electrical isolation and granular diagnostics, allowing for high system availability in complex automation architectures. By integrating low-side transistor switches with robust protection circuitry, this module delivers consistent performance even when managing inductive loads in demanding factory environments.
