The ABB HAI805 is an 8-channel analog input module with dedicated HART communication support, designed for the Symphony Plus SD Series I/O in the Symphony® Plus distributed control system. It provides precise acquisition of 4–20 mA signals from smart field transmitters while enabling full access to HART digital data, including primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary variables.
As part of the S+ I/O HART family (paired with the HAO805 output module), the HAI805 features a dedicated HART modem per channel. This design ensures fast update rates for multivariable data (typically under one second) and makes secondary variables directly available for control strategies, unlike modules that share a single modem and limit data to HMI level only. The module mounts on the ITU805 base and connects to Symphony Plus controllers (e.g., HPC800) via redundant HN800 communications, supporting seamless integration of intelligent field devices.
Engineers select the HAI805 for applications requiring high-accuracy analog input combined with HART asset management and predictive maintenance. Compared to non-HART modules or shared-modem solutions, it offers superior channel isolation, faster multivariable access, and reduced engineering effort through S+ Engineering tools for device configuration. It is ideal for both greenfield Symphony Plus projects and expansions of existing installations.

The HAI805 delivers intelligent analog input processing with the following capabilities:
8 Group-Isolated Analog Input Channels: Supports 4–20 mA signals with group isolation for enhanced noise immunity and safety in industrial environments.
Dedicated HART Modem per Channel: Independent HART communication on each loop, enabling simultaneous access to primary (PV) and multivariable (SV, TV, QV) data without multiplexing delays.
Fast Multivariable Update: Secondary, tertiary, and quaternary variables refreshed in less than one second for real-time use in control applications.
Signal Conditioning and Diagnostics: Over/under-range detection, open-circuit monitoring (in current mode), and comprehensive HART diagnostics passed to the controller for asset health monitoring.
Seamless Controller Integration: Connects via HN800 redundant links; fully supported in S+ Engineering for configuration, calibration, and maintenance of HART devices.
High Reliability: Designed for continuous operation with high MTBF, low power consumption, and robust EMC performance typical of Symphony Plus SD Series I/O.
Cost Reduction: Reduces the need for separate HART multiplexers or additional instrumentation while enabling tighter control loops and predictive maintenance.
These features allow direct use of HART data in PID loops, calculations, and alarms, improving process performance and reducing total ownership costs.

HART Support: Dedicated modem per channel; full access to Universal, Common Practice, and Device-Specific commands
Update Rate: Primary variable per standard scan; multivariable data < 1 second
Isolation: Group isolation between channels and to system logic
Base Requirement: ITU805 termination base
Power Supply: Provided via SD Series I/O rack backplane (24 V DC typical)
Power Consumption: Low, consistent with SD Series HART I/O modules
Operating Temperature: Standard industrial range (0 °C to +55/60 °C)
Mounting: Horizontal or vertical in Symphony Plus SD Series I/O racks
Dimensions and Weight: Standard SD Series module form factor (weight approximately 0.98 kg)
Configuration uses FC function codes or S+ Engineering tools for channel ranges, scaling, alarms, HART parameters, and device integration. Exact performance depends on the controller type and system release. Always verify with the latest Symphony Plus Hardware Selector or module documentation.
The HAI805 is widely applied in process industries requiring intelligent field device integration:
Power Generation: Boiler, turbine, and auxiliary system monitoring with HART transmitters for pressure, flow, level, and temperature.
Oil & Gas and Petrochemical: Acquisition of multivariable data from smart transmitters in upstream, refining, and pipeline applications.
Chemical and Pharmaceutical: Precise control and diagnostics in reactors, distillation, and batch processes.
Water & Wastewater Treatment: Pump, valve, and tank monitoring with asset management capabilities.
Metals, Mining, and Pulp & Paper: Process variable acquisition in harsh environments demanding reliable HART communication.
Typical scenarios include new SD Series I/O clusters with HART instrumentation, retrofits replacing older analog-only modules, and expansions leveraging multivariable data for advanced control or condition monitoring. Pair with HAO805 for balanced HART input/output solutions. For non-HART needs, standard AI modules may suffice; for higher channel density without per-channel modems, evaluate other SD Series options.
Mounting: Install the HAI805 on the ITU805 base in the SD Series I/O rack. Ensure proper mechanical locking and alignment with the backplane.
Field Wiring: Use shielded twisted-pair cables for 4–20 mA loops. Connect to the base terminals observing polarity. Maintain loop resistance suitable for HART (typically 250 Ω). Ground shields appropriately to avoid loops.
HART Communication: Verify each channel has correct loop power and resistance. Use S+ Engineering or asset management tools to commission HART devices.
Configuration: Define the module via engineering tools with appropriate function codes. Configure individual channels for range, scaling, alarms, filtering, and HART pass-through. Perform loop checks and HART device verification during commissioning.
Safety: Only qualified personnel should perform installation. De-energize the I/O rack section during wiring where possible. Follow ABB safety guidelines, ESD precautions, and local regulations for hazardous areas if applicable.
Refer to the Symphony Plus SD Series I/O Hardware Manual and project-specific drawings for terminal assignments, base wiring, and commissioning procedures.
The HAI805 requires minimal routine maintenance due to its solid-state design:
Routine Inspections: Periodically check module seating, LED status (if equipped), and cable connections. Ensure the control cabinet environment stays within temperature and humidity limits.
Diagnostics: Monitor channel status, HART communication quality, and device diagnostics through Symphony Plus operator stations or S+ Engineering. Use event logs and asset management tools for proactive maintenance.
HART Device Management: Periodically verify device health and perform remote calibrations where supported.
Simple Troubleshooting:
No Signal or Incorrect Reading: Verify transmitter output, loop power, wiring polarity, and channel configuration. Check for open circuits or incorrect loop resistance.
HART Communication Failure: Ensure proper loop resistance (250–1100 Ω typical). Inspect cable shielding and grounding. Test individual channels with a HART communicator.
Slow Multivariable Update or Missing Variables: Confirm dedicated modem operation and system scan settings. Check HN800 communication links.
Module Fault or No Communication: Verify proper installation on the ITU805 base and backplane power. Swap with a known-good spare to isolate the issue.
Diagnostic Alarms: Review HART command responses and device status for sensor or transmitter faults.
For persistent problems, download diagnostic data and contact ABB support with the system release version, module details, and fault descriptions. Stocking spare HAI805 modules is recommended for critical loops to minimize downtime.
The ABB HAI805 analog input module with per-channel HART modems provides intelligent, high-performance signal acquisition and field device integration for Symphony Plus control systems. Its group-isolated design, fast multivariable access, and seamless engineering tool support deliver reliable process measurement and reduced lifecycle costs across demanding applications. For project-specific configuration, compatibility verification, or migration guidance, always consult the latest Symphony Plus documentation, S+ Engineering tools, and ABB technical support.
