• Cold Junction Compensation: Automatic CJC for thermocouple channels compensates for terminal block temperature variations, maintaining measurement accuracy without external reference junctions
• Multi-Wire RTD Support: Configurable 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire RTD connections with automatic lead resistance compensation ensures accurate temperature measurement regardless of cable length or resistance
• Comprehensive Diagnostics: Continuous monitoring detects sensor failures, wire breaks, out-of-range conditions, and signal degradation with automatic fault reporting to control system

Process Measurement Applications

This universal analog input module addresses diverse measurement requirements across process industries where accurate acquisition of temperature and process variables is essential for control, safety, and quality assurance:

• Multi-Zone Temperature Monitoring: Measures temperatures across reactor vessels, distillation columns, and heat exchangers using mixed thermocouple types (K-type for high temperature, J-type for moderate) in single module installation
• Precision RTD Applications: Monitors bearing temperatures, winding temperatures, and process fluid temperatures with PT100/PT1000 sensors where ±0.5°C accuracy is critical for equipment protection and product quality
• Process Variable Acquisition: Interfaces with 4-20mA transmitters measuring pressure, flow, level, and analytical parameters, converting current signals to engineering units for regulatory control loops
• Furnace & Kiln Control: Acquires high-temperature measurements from Type R, S, or B thermocouples in heat treatment furnaces, glass melting operations, and ceramic kilns operating above 1000°C
• Cryogenic Process Monitoring: Measures ultra-low temperatures in LNG facilities, air separation plants, and cryogenic storage using specialized thermocouple types with extended low-temperature ranges
• Batch Reactor Profiling: Tracks temperature profiles during exothermic reactions, polymerization processes, and pharmaceutical synthesis with multiple measurement points for precise thermal management
• Environmental Monitoring: Acquires ambient temperature, humidity (via voltage transmitters), and atmospheric conditions for process compensation and regulatory compliance in emissions monitoring

Advant OCS System Integration

The 07AI91 module integrates seamlessly within ABB's Advant OCS distributed control ecosystem, mounting in standard I/O racks and communicating with controller processors via high-speed backplane. Input channels map directly to process variable tags in Advant Station programming environment, supporting PID control loops, alarm management, historical trending, and advanced control strategies. The module participates in system-wide diagnostics with predictive fault detection and maintenance scheduling.
