Description Product Introduction The ABB EI813F is an analog input module from the S800 I/O family—the current-generation I/O system for ABB’s System 800xA and AC 800M platforms. This module handles eight analog inputs, configurable for current (4-20 mA, ±20 mA) or voltage (0-10 V, ±10 V) signals. It’s the workhorse for process applications: pressure transmitters, temperature sensors, flow meters, and level transducers. What sets the ABB EI813F apart from the earlier EI813 is the HART pass-through and the “F” revision’s improved diagnostics. The “F” suffix indicates the final hardware revision with better transient protection and enhanced HART communication. Unlike the older EI813, the EI813F allows a HART communicator to talk to smart transmitters through the module—you don’t need a separate multiplexer. In my experience, the EI813F is noticeably more stable in electrically noisy environments than the original EI813. The earlier module would sometimes drift on the 4-20 mA inputs when adjacent to high-power IGBT drives. The F revision filters that out. Key Technical Specifications Parameter Specification Model ABB EI813F Series S800 I/O Module Type Analog Input Channels 8 (individually configurable) Input Signals 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, ±20 mA, 0-10 V, ±10 V Resolution 16 bits (0.0015% of full scale) Accuracy ±0.05% of full scale at 25°C Update Rate 10 ms (typical, all channels) HART Support Pass-through on each channel Input Impedance 250 Ω (current), > 1 MΩ (voltage) Isolation 1500 VAC between field and logic Fault Detection Open-circuit, short-circuit, out-of-range Power Consumption 2.5 W (from backplane) Operating Temp -40°C to 70°C Mounting S800 I/O rack (TU8xx termination units) Termination Via TU810, TU830, TU840 termination units Firmware / Software Versions & Upgrade Notes The ABB EI813F does not contain user-upgradable firmware. The module’s behavior is determined by its hardware revision and the controller’s configuration. Minimum controller firmware: AC 800M firmware version 5.1 or later for full HART pass-through support. Earlier versions treat the module as a standard EI813 (no HART). Software compatibility: Control Builder M Professional version 5.1 or later, or System 800xA Engineering version 6.0 or later. Hardware revision note: The “F” revision is the final production version. It is backward-compatible with all earlier EI813 revisions (A through E). No configuration changes needed when replacing an older module. No field upgrade: You cannot upgrade an EI813 to an EI813F via firmware. The “F” revision has different hardware components. ⚠️ Field note: The ABB EI813F requires a termination unit (TU) that supports HART pass-through. The TU810 works, but the TU830 and TU840 are preferred for HART applications because they include built-in HART filters. If you’re using a TU810 and having HART communication issues, switch to a TU830. The difference is noticeable. Compatibility & Replacement Matrix Original Model Replacement Model Compatibility Level Key Notes ABB EI813 (original) ABB EI813F Drop-in Same termination units. The F revision adds HART pass-through and improved diagnostics. No wiring changes. ABB EI813E ABB EI813F Drop-in Direct swap. The F revision has better transient protection. ABB EI813F (same) ABB EI813F Drop-in Direct replacement. Any F revision is interchangeable. ABB AI810 (8-channel, non-HART) ABB EI813F Drop-in (with limits) AI810 has lower resolution (12-bit). The EI813F is a functional upgrade. Wiring is the same if using the same TU. ABB AI801 (8-channel, 4-20 mA) ABB EI813F Drop-in (with limits) AI801 has 12-bit resolution and no HART. EI813F is a direct upgrade. Same TU works. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What termination unit (TU) works with this module? The ABB EI813F mounts on any S800 I/O termination unit designed for 8-channel analog modules. Common options: TU810 (standard), TU830 (HART with current limiting), TU840 (HART with enhanced diagnostics). The TU810 works, but the TU830 is recommended if you’re using HART. Q: How do I configure each channel for 4-20 mA vs. 0-10 V? Configuration is done in the engineering software (Control Builder or System 800xA). In the hardware configuration tree, select the ABB EI813F, then set each channel’s input type, scaling, and filtering. There are no jumpers on the module—all configuration is software-based. Q: Does this module support loop-powered transmitters? Yes. The ABB EI813F can be used with 2-wire (loop-powered) transmitters. The termination unit provides 24 VDC loop power. In the configuration, you enable loop power on the channel. The module measures the 4-20 mA signal while supplying power to the transmitter. Q: What’s the HART pass-through capability? The ABB EI813F allows a HART communicator (like an Emerson 475) or an asset management system to communicate with smart transmitters through the module. You connect the HART device to the termination unit’s HART terminals. The module passes the digital HART signal through to the transmitter without interrupting the 4-20 mA loop. Q: My readings are erratic. What should I check? First, verify the channel configuration matches the field device. If the ABB EI813F is set for 4-20 mA but the transmitter is 0-10 V, you’ll get garbage readings. Next, check the termination unit’s wiring—loose terminals are common. If the problem persists, check for ground loops. The S800 system uses isolated inputs, but if field devices have multiple grounds, you can still get noise. Q: Can I hot-swap this module? Yes. The S800 I/O system supports hot swapping. You can remove and insert the ABB EI813F while the system is running. The module will re-initialize within a few seconds. The controller will see the I/O interruption but will continue running. Q: What’s the difference between EI813F and AI810? The AI810 is an older 8-channel analog input module with 12-bit resolution and no HART. The ABB EI813F has 16-bit resolution, HART pass-through, and better diagnostics. The AI810 uses a different termination unit (TU810 only). If you’re replacing an AI810 with an EI813F, the TU810 works, but you may need to update the hardware configuration. Q: How do I test a channel without a field device? Connect a 250 Ω resistor across the input terminals on the termination unit. In the engineering software, configure the channel for 4-20 mA. Force the controller to output a simulated value, or use a current source to inject 4-20 mA. The ABB EI813F will read the current and report it in the controller’s data tables.
