B&R 8AC110 High-Performance Industrial Control Module

This 8-channel analog input module excels in demanding automation tasks where precision matters. Designed for environments like automotive production lines and chemical processing plants, it handles sensor data acquisition and real-time control with consistent reliability. Users report fewer signal interference issues compared to older generation modules.

Common applications include precision control in semiconductor manufacturing and vibration monitoring for industrial turbines. We’ve deployed this module successfully in hybrid systems alongside Allen Bradley’s 1756-IF16 and GE Fanuc’s IC695ALG640. Its performance suits both continuous processes like oil refining and discrete operations like robotic welding cells. The compact form factor works well in retrofit projects with space constraints.

What stands out is the module’s noise immunity – even in environments with heavy VFD interference. The dual communication ports enable redundant network configurations, which one customer credited for maintaining uptime during a cable fault incident. Configuration through Automation Studio feels intuitive, though expect a learning curve if migrating from Siemens TIA Portal. Notably, the thermal stability reduces calibration needs compared to competing models from Schneider and Emerson.
