HART Input Overview
ABB AI815 accepts supported current or voltage signals as one group of eight inputs isolated from ground. The complete module is configured for one signal family; current and voltage cannot be mixed. For transmitter loops, it distributes and supervises an external HART-compatible supply with per-channel current limiting.

System Fit & HART Hardware
Freelance and S800 context
ABB lists AI815 in S800 remote I/O for Freelance and identifies HART pass-through as a configuration and diagnostic benefit of the S800 arrangement.
The reviewed ABB sources do not name a direct replacement. Do not substitute AI810 or another eight-channel analog module without checking ranges, HART pass-through, transmitter-power distribution, diagnostics and MTU keying.
HART Loop Fault Patterns
HART transmitter loops
Acquire 4–20 mA process signals while preserving HART pass-through for the applicable device-management workflow.
Powered 2-wire or 3-wire transmitters
Use the distributed external HART-compatible supply where the loop design matches ABB wiring and load requirements.
HART communication unavailable
Check that the module is configured for current, the external supply is HART-compatible, the loop wiring is intact and the control-system HART path is enabled.
Channel power error
Review external supply voltage, per-channel transmitter load and short-circuit conditions. The module reports low external supply and transmitter-power errors.
HART Commissioning Notes
01Choose one signal family
Configure the complete module for current or voltage; do not mix them.
02Validate the supply
Use an external HART-compatible transmitter supply for HART loops.
03Check the MTU
Confirm an ABB-listed MTU, CC keying and the correct field termination.
04Commission both paths
Verify the analog value and HART pass-through, then review channel diagnostics.
A correct 4–20 mA value does not by itself prove the HART path. Check the supply, field device, module configuration and system-level routing.

AI815 HART FAQ
Can AI815 mix current and voltage channels?
No. ABB states that current and voltage signals cannot be mixed on the same module.
Does AI815 support HART communication?
Yes. ABB identifies HART pass-through. The external supply used for HART transmitters must also be HART-compatible.
How does AI815 power field transmitters?
The module distributes an external transmitter supply to each channel, supervises it and applies current limiting per channel.
Which MTUs are listed for AI815?
ABB lists TU810, TU812, TU814, TU818, TU830, TU833, TU835 and TU838. The keying code is CC.
What diagnostics can identify an AI815 loop-power problem?
The module reports low external supply and transmitter-power errors. It also supervises analog readback, reference voltage, internal supply, checksum, watchdog and memory.
What should an RFQ for AI815 include?
Provide the full part number, quantity, destination, required date and machine or system model. Add the installed MTU, signal range, transmitter type and HART requirement if known.
