Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
If the DI820 3BSE008512R1 is unavailable or you are evaluating alternatives, the following models offer compatible or equivalent functionality:
- ABB DI810 (3BSE008508R1) — 24 Vdc digital input, same S800 form factor; suitable when field voltage is DC rather than 120 Vac
- ABB DI811 (3BSE008510R1) — 24 Vdc, 16-channel DI; direct functional equivalent for DC applications
- ABB DI821 (3BSE008514R1) — 230 Vac digital input; use when field voltage is 230 Vac instead of 120 Vac
- ABB DI830 (3BSE013210R1) — 24 Vdc, 32-channel DI; higher density alternative for DC systems
- Third-party compatible modules — Contact Konmask for vetted third-party S800-compatible DI modules with equivalent I/O mapping
Note: Always verify firmware compatibility and I/O station slot requirements before substituting modules. Konmask engineers can assist with compatibility validation.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the DI820 replace a DI810 directly?
A: No — the DI810 is a 24 Vdc input module. The DI820 is rated for 120 Vac. Substituting without field wiring changes will damage the module or create a safety hazard.
Q: Is the DI820 compatible with AC800F controllers?
A: No. The DI820 is designed for the S800 I/O system used with AC800M/S. AC800F uses a different I/O architecture (S900).
Q: Can I use the DI820 in a redundant I/O configuration?
A: Yes, when paired with a redundant I/O station (e.g., TB840A), the DI820 supports redundant Modulebus operation.
Q: What is the lead time for the DI820 3BSE008512R1?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock situations, typical lead time is 2–4 weeks. Contact us for current availability.
Q: Do you provide a test report with the module?
A: Yes. A functional test report and certificate of conformity are available upon request at no additional charge.
