ABB DIGITAL ANNUNCIATOR UNIT SACO 16D1 NUMERICAL RELAY

Digital Annunciator Unit SACO 16D1 Numerical relay is a flexible digital annunciator unit for the supervision of alarm and signalling contacts in power plants, substations and industrial process installations. The SACO 16D1 is a flexible, field-customizable 16-channel digital annunciator unit.

It is used in a variety of applications to supervise alarm and signaling contacts in power plants, substations and industrial process installations. The alarm unit is also approved for use in offshore installations and marine applications. Further, the annunciator unit can be used in any application where on/off signals are to be supervised. This sophisticated hardware and software self-supervision system to ensure maximum operational reliability has been designed for also the most demanding environmental conditions.

The SACO 16D1 provides immediate fault recognition, fault identification and visual and audible alarm when an abnormal process situation occurs. The alarm channels are activated by normally open or normally closed contact. This annunciator unit also provides a means for subsequent fault analyses, which means that corrective measures can be carried out without delay and you maintain full control of the process.

The first-out alarm indication is achieved via a clear four-digit display on the front panel. The annunciator units can be used as independent stand-alone units, or they can be connected together via a fibre-optic bus to form complete supervision, event sequence reporting and data acquisition systems.

ABB Numerical relays

ABB Numerical relays are based on the use of microprocessors.?A big difference between conventional electromechanical and static relays is how the relays are wired. Electromechanical and static relays have fixed wiring and the setting is manual. Numeric relays, on the other hand, are programmable relays where the characteristics and behavior can be programmed. Most numerical relays are also multifunctional.
