ABB SPASI23 is a Symphony Plus Harmony rack isolated analog input module with 16 independently configured channels. ABB's catalog and module instruction identify the exact model and show it as a universal process-input interface for current, voltage, millivolt, thermocouple, and RTD signals.
- Input channels: 16 independently configured channels
- A/D architecture: Dedicated 24-bit conversion per channel
- Current input: 4-20 mA
- High-level voltage inputs: 1-5 VDC, 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC, -10 to +10 VDC, or a user range within -10 to +10 VDC
Each channel has dedicated 24-bit conversion architecture. ABB describes automatic input processing and calibration functions that include engineering-unit conversion, lead-wire resistance adjustment for applicable resistance sensors, and cold-junction compensation for applicable thermocouples, allowing mixed signal types to be engineered within one module. The official input set includes 4-20 mA; 1-5, 0-5, 0-10, and negative-to-positive 10 VDC ranges; millivolt ranges; multiple thermocouple types; and several three-wire RTD characteristics. The exact range, sensor curve, wiring, termination, function code, and controller configuration must be selected from the ABB instruction and the approved project design. ABB documents SPASI23 as a replacement for SPASI03 and SPASI13 with minor changes and as a fit/function replacement for IMASI23. Replacement does not prove identical hardware or a shared canonical identity, so these models stay separate. Exact trade data and a formal lifecycle phase remain withheld because exact ABB evidence was not located for those fields.
Important Notice: Verify the complete ABB SPASI23 nameplate and current project documentation before use.

Confirm the physical nameplate, current ABB documents, and host-system requirements before installation or replacement.
Mixed process instrumentationAcquire supported current, voltage, and temperature signals on independently engineered channels in a Symphony Plus rack I/O application.
Thermocouple monitoringMeasure supported thermocouple types with the correct extension wiring, cold-junction design, and channel configuration.
RTD temperature acquisitionConnect supported three-wire RTD characteristics after verifying sensor curve, lead-wire design, and termination documentation.
Legacy ASI modernizationApply ABB's SPASI03/SPASI13/IMASI23 replacement guidance as part of an engineered migration with revision and power checks.
Read and follow the exact ABB documentation and host-equipment instructions before work. Verify the complete physical nameplate and system configuration.
1Identify the exact SPASI23 assembly, revision, and manufacturing date from the nameplate before configuration or replacement.
2Check the ABB field alert for the 2011-05-31 through 2015-06-30 production window and verify J18/FPGA status on the actual unit.
3Back up all channel types, ranges, scaling, calibration, alarm, and function-code settings before work begins.
4Confirm module power budget, especially when replacing SPASI03 or SPASI13, because ABB documents minor replacement changes.
5Verify termination unit, cable, polarity, isolation, grounding, shielding, and sensor wiring against the exact ABB instruction and project drawings.
6Use ABB electrostatic-discharge controls and approved powered-equipment service practices; maintain process safeguards during any online work.
7Validate every channel with a loop check and compare engineering-unit values after installation or replacement.
8Do not merge SPASI23 with IMASI23, SPASI03, SPASI13, AI16e, or AI16ev in inventory or web canonical data.
9Do not publish exact origin, HS code, weight, dimensions, or formal lifecycle phase without model-level ABB evidence.
