R. STAHL 9468/33-08-10 – 8-Channel HART Analog Universal I/O Module | IS1+ Remote I/O Platform
Engineering Background: The IS1+ Remote I/O system from R. STAHL is a field-proven, IEC Ex / ATEX-certified distributed I/O architecture purpose-built for hazardous area process automation. Deployed across oil & gas, chemical, and petrochemical facilities worldwide, the IS1+ platform enables intrinsically safe signal conditioning and HART pass-through at the field junction box level, eliminating the need for individual barriers in the control room.
Product Positioning: The STAHL 9468/33-08-10 is an 8-channel analog universal module within the IS1+ family. It accepts both 4–20 mA analog signals and HART digital communication simultaneously, making it the preferred choice for engineers integrating smart field instruments into DCS or SCADA systems operating in Zone 1 or Zone 2 hazardous environments.

Engineering Advantages
- Universal Channel Configuration: Each of the 8 channels can be independently configured as analog input or analog output — reducing module SKU proliferation and simplifying spares management.
- Simultaneous HART Pass-Through: Full HART 5/7 communication is maintained alongside the 4–20 mA process signal, enabling remote diagnostics, calibration, and device management without loop interruption.
- Hot-Swap Replacement: Modules can be replaced under power without shutting down the IS1+ backplane, minimizing process downtime during maintenance windows.
- Galvanic Isolation: Channel-to-channel and channel-to-bus isolation prevents ground loops and protects the DCS from field-side faults.
- Compact Footprint: 25 mm slot width allows high channel density in constrained junction box enclosures.
- Integrated Diagnostics: Module-level and channel-level fault reporting via PROFIBUS DP status bytes, compatible with FDT/DTM asset management frameworks.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 9468/33-08-10 plugs into the IS1+ backplane rail alongside the power supply module and PROFIBUS coupler. Field instrument wiring connects to the module’s terminal block on the hazardous-area side. The 4–20 mA process value and HART digital signal are conditioned and galvanically isolated before being passed to the backplane bus. The IS1+ coupler aggregates all module data and presents it to the DCS via a single PROFIBUS DP segment, with HART frames multiplexed transparently for asset management tools such as Emerson AMS, ABB Asset Vision, or Yokogawa PRM.

Technical FAQ
Q: Can the 9468/33-08-10 be used with HART 7 devices?
A: Yes. The module supports both HART 5 and HART 7 protocol revisions transparently.
Q: Is hot-swap supported without process interruption?
A: Hot-swap is supported at the module level. The IS1+ backplane continues to operate; the affected channels will report a fault state to the DCS during the swap interval.
Q: What PROFIBUS coupler is required?
A: The module is compatible with R. STAHL IS1+ PROFIBUS DP couplers (e.g., 9468/11 series). Confirm coupler firmware ≥ V3.x for full HART multiplexing support.
Q: Can channels be mixed AI and AO in the same module?
A: Yes. Each channel is independently configurable via the PROFIBUS GSD file or FDT/DTM parameterization tool.
Q: What is the maximum number of HART devices per PROFIBUS segment?
A: Dependent on coupler model and firmware; typically up to 64 HART devices per IS1+ station.
