Features:
- 32 discrete 24V DC inputs in a single module; reduces rack space and saves slots.
- Works with S600 I/O, Advant Controller 160 (v2.2), and Advant OCS with Master SW.
- Follows EU Directive 2011/65/EU; zero batteries for maintenance‑free operation.
The DI620-3BHT300002R1 packs 32 discrete 24V DC input channels into a single module. This high density is a significant advantage for systems with limited rack slots. Instead of using four 8‑channel modules or two 16‑channel modules, a single DI620 handles 32 field devices – such as limit switches, pushbuttons, proximity sensors, or photoelectric sensors. This consolidation frees up slots for other module types (analog, output, communication) and reduces backplane bus loading.
The DI620-3BHT300002R1 is listed under multiple ABB product categories, making it a versatile spare part for various legacy systems. It is compatible with S600 I/O (ABB's rugged, distributed I/O family), Advant Controller 160 Version 2.2, and Advant OCS with Master SW. This wide compatibility means a single DI620 module can serve as a spare for different generations of ABB control systems – from older Advant OCS installations to newer Advant Controller 160 racks. For system integrators managing multiple ABB sites, stocking a single DI620 reduces inventory complexity.
The DI620-3BHT300002R1 is fully compliant with EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS), meaning it does not contain restricted hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, or hexavalent chromium. This compliance is critical for installations in European markets and for companies with environmental sustainability policies. The module also has a SCIP number (666dc7a3-475f-4c7b-8fb7-995fd94ecfb6) for substance tracking under the EU Waste Framework Directive. Additionally, the DI620-3BHT300002R1 contains zero batteries. This eliminates battery replacement maintenance – a common nuisance in older systems with battery‑backed RAM modules. No battery means no risk of leakage, no scheduled replacement, and no data loss due to battery failure.
The DI620-3BHT300002R1 ABB Input Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Field Signal Acquisition: Used to acquire 24 VDC digital status from sensors, limit switches, contactor auxiliary contacts, or buttons.
- Key Industrial Processes: Widely deployed in industries such as power generation, metallurgy, and chemicals to handle high-density logic inputs.
- System Expansion: Often used with the S600 I/O system, providing up to 32 input points in a compact space (only 40mm wide), greatly improving rack utilization.
- Update Method: The logic of the I/O module itself is usually fixed at the factory. Updates are typically made by upgrading the firmware of its associated AC 800M controller or replacing the firmware of the bus interface module responsible for data forwarding (such as the CI810B).
- Lifecycle Management: ABB recommends checking the system firmware version during scheduled maintenance. You can find the latest controller system firmware compatible with the I/O module through ABB PCDC (Product Compatibility and Download Center).
- Development Environment: Configure using Control Builder M or ABB Ability System 800xA software.
- Address Assignment: In the project software's Hardware Tree, add the DI620 to the corresponding I/O slot; the system will automatically assign I/O addresses.
- Variable Connections: Connect the 32 input channels (Channel 1–32) to Boolean variables in the application to use field signals in the control logic.
