The ABB SDCS-PIN-FXX is a Field Interface and Communication Module for ABB's System 800xA and Symphony Plus distributed control systems (DCS). This device serves as a signal conditioning and protocol conversion interface that bridges field-level devices (sensors, actuators) with the higher-level control network.
