SPASI23 Technical Datasheet: 16-Channel Analog Input Module for Symphony Plus HR Series
July 01, 2026
What is the SPASI23? The SPASI23 is a 16-channel analog input module that belongs to the ABB Symphony Plus distributed control system family. It processes up to 16 analog field inputs simultaneously, with each channel equipped with a dedicated 24-bit analog-to-digital converter. The module handles input processing, calibration, point value calculations, lead wire resistance adjustment, cold junction compensation, gain and offset adjustment, and engineering unit conversion automatically. It is classified as a small equipment unit under WEEE Category 5 and carries HS code 85389081. Why Choose the SPASI23? The module supports 16 independently configured channels, each capable of accepting thermocouple types B, E, J, K, L, N (14 AWG and 28 AWG), R, S, T, and U, as well as Chinese type E and Chinese type S. It also handles three-wire RTD inputs including 10 ohm copper, 100 ohm platinum (U.S. Lab Standard, U.S. Industry Standard, and European Standard), 120 ohm nickel, and Chinese 53 ohm copper. High-level voltage spans from −10 VDC to +10 VDC, with additional ranges of 1 to 5 VDC, 0 to 5 VDC, and 0 to 10 VDC. Millivolt inputs cover −100 mV to +100 mV and 0 to 100 mV. This range of compatibility allows a single module to replace multiple specialized input cards, reducing hardware count and cabinet space in typical installations. What Are the Key Features? Each channel operates with a dedicated 24-bit ADC, providing finer measurement resolution than the 14-bit architecture found in comparable modules such as the SPFEC12. Input circuit offset, gain, and nonlinearity are captured during factory calibration and applied continuously during operation. The module also performs background recalibration to compensate for component aging and thermal drift without requiring manual intervention. Cold junction compensation for thermocouple inputs is handled through built-in references at each termination device, with the option to use a remote reference from another input on the same or a different I/O module. Engineering-unit conversion to degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit is computed automatically for all temperature sensor inputs using standard linearization tables. The module supports hot-swappable installation, allowing removal or insertion under power without system shutdown.
