ABB 3AXD50000191635 BIO-01 I/O Extension - From Stock

Expanded I/O capacity: The BIO-01 I/O extension module adds digital I/O points to ABB PLCs without major panel rewiring, enabling scalable expansion of control capabilities. This reduces engineering time, minimizes wiring errors, and shortens commissioning cycles in automated lines. Application contexts include packaging, material handling, and general factory automation where a compact, plug‑and‑play extension delivers tangible productivity gains. Stock availability and lead-time certainty: The module is stocked at BRAPR001EXPU, with a defined storage location of 4001, and a stated lead time of 54 days. This provides predictable delivery schedules, lowers expediting costs, and improves project planning accuracy for system integrators and OEMs. In practice, this means fewer schedule slippages when expanding existing lines or deploying new automation cells. Compatibility and installation ease: Configuration is No, and the BIO-01 is designed for seamless integration within the ABB ecosystem, reducing validation effort and risk during maintenance outages. Installation benefits include pre‑tested wiring schemes, consistent terminology, and straightforward documentation, which accelerates field deployment. This also supports multiple-channel expansion without requiring extensive re-architecting of control logic. Warranty and lifecycle clarity: Warranty return policy states that products under warranty must be returned, which informs spare-parts planning and service logistics. Proactive sourcing from stock minimizes risk of non-availability, helping procurement to maintain continuous production. Industry context and cost considerations: As an ABB-aligned BIO-01 extension sourced from CN with stock in key warehouses, this module helps reduce total cost of ownership by limiting inventory and avoiding custom manufacturing delays. In high-volume automation projects, predictable lead times and widely available stock translate into faster ROI and safer regulatory compliance through consistent component performance.
