⚙️ Module Configuration
The DI400 module is intended for digital input signal acquisition, while the AI400 module provides analog input capability for connected sensors and measurement devices. The DO400 module provides digital output functions for control commands to external equipment.
The referenced assembly is identified as a complete PLC rack containing these three module types, rather than a standalone SBC400H computer board.
🚢 Marine Automation Applications
The SBC400H rack can be used as part of a vessel automation architecture for monitoring and controlling shipboard systems. Typical applications can include:
- Engine-room automation
- Auxiliary machinery monitoring
- Pump and valve control
- Alarm and status monitoring
- Sensor signal acquisition
- Marine power and machinery systems
- Ship control and automation equipment
Its modular I/O arrangement allows different types of field signals to be handled within the same automation installation.
🛠️ Replacement & Maintenance
Before replacing an SBC400H assembly, compare the complete rack configuration with the existing installation. Check the module types, module positions, connector arrangement, wiring, firmware/software compatibility, rack identification, and associated PCU/PLC hardware.
For marine applications, it is particularly important to verify the installed I/O configuration because two racks carrying the same basic SBC400H designation may have different module combinations.
❓ Common Questions & Answers
Q1: What is the Kongsberg SBC400H?
