The ABB AI‑S (P/N SAPB) is a high-integrity safety-rated analog input module in the AC‑S (S) PLC series. It offers four configurable current inputs (– mA or – mA, ‑bit resolution) and provides SIL  performance across all channels, with up to SIL  achievable on two channels under discrepancy monitoring. Designed for functional safety applications, it features PROFIsafe-enabled, fast conversion, configurable filtering, and robust diagnostics.
