Product Introduction

The Kongsberg AL-100B/I8EX Analogue Input Node is an intrinsically safe (Ex ia) input module used in Kongsberg marine monitoring systems, especially tank gauging and cargo/ballast monitoring on tankers and gas carriers. It reads up to eight field sensors – such as PT100/PT1000 temperature sensors, pressure transducers and on/off switches – and passes the values over the system communication line.

SM MARINE SERVICE™ (https://www.smmarineservice.com/) supplies Kongsberg AL-100B/I8EX analogue input nodes (new and refurbished) and related Kongsberg automation spare parts to ships worldwide.

What Is This Equipment?

The AL-100B/I8EX is a distributed I/O node. Instead of running each sensor cable to a central cabinet, the node is installed close to the sensors and connects them locally. The label on the unit shows examples of sensor connection: 4-wired and 2-wired PT100/PT1000 temperature sensors, pressure transducers of the GT-250 series, and on/off switches. The node is powered and linked to the system through the X9 POWER and COMM terminals, which have IN and OUT pairs so several nodes can be connected in a chain.

Because the module is certified Ex ia IIC T4, it is suitable for intrinsically safe circuits connected to sensors in hazardous areas, when installed according to its certificate and the system documentation.

Main Features

  • 8 analogue sensor input channels (X1–X8), 4 terminals per channel (A, B, C, D)
  • Supports PT100 / PT1000 temperature sensors in 4-wire and 2-wire connection
  • Supports Kongsberg GT-250 series pressure transducers (as printed on the unit label)
  • Can also read on/off switch contacts
  • X9 POWER IN/OUT and COMM IN/OUT terminals for daisy-chain installation
  • AL REF GND terminal and earth wire
  • Service connection on the front cover
  • Ex ia IIC T4 intrinsically safe, Nemko 12.7035X certificate
  • Pluggable green screw terminals for easy replacement
  • Metal mounting plate with cable clamp rail

Inside the Unit: PCBs, Modules & Part Numbers

The AL-100B/I8EX is itself a single electronic module (a complete PCB assembly inside a protective cover). Kongsberg has not published a public parts list for its internal boards, and no internal PCB number is visible in the supplied photographs. The known numbers are:

AL-100B/I8EX Analogue Input Node (Part No. 7212-235.002)

The complete module: 8-channel analogue input electronics, signal conditioning for PT100/PT1000 and pressure transducers, and communication to the system. Part number 7212-235.002 is taken from market listings (Not printed on the photographed unit).

EX94C011

Code listed together with the AL-100B/I8EX in a market listing. Its exact meaning is Not verified.

Input Terminal Blocks X1–X8

Pluggable 4-pole screw terminal blocks for the eight sensor channels.

X9 Power & Communication Terminal Block

POWER IN/OUT and COMM IN/OUT terminals (201–204) for supply and data link, with pass-through to the next node.

Tip: If your node shows a different part number or revision on its label, send us a photo – SM MARINE SERVICE™ will check compatibility.

Main Components & Related Units

  • AL-100B/I8EX – Analogue Input Node (this product)
  • AL-100A/I8EX – earlier version of the analogue input node (interchangeability Not verified)
  • AL-100B/RPEX – Power and Repeater Unit (supplies and repeats the Ex node line)
  • GLK-100A – Level Gauging Processing Unit (listed with code EX97D303)
  • GL-100 – Kongsberg Tank Gauging System
  • GT-250 series – Kongsberg pressure transducers (printed on the node label)
  • PT100 / PT1000 temperature sensors

Use of AL-100B/I8EX with GL-100 and GLK-100A is based on market listings and the sensor types on the label; please confirm your exact system with us.

Marine & Industrial Applications

  • Cargo and ballast tank gauging and monitoring
  • Tank temperature and pressure monitoring on tankers, chemical tankers and gas carriers
  • Draught and level measurement with pressure transducers
  • Intrinsically safe sensor loops in hazardous areas
  • Distributed I/O for Kongsberg monitoring and automation systems

Nameplate: Kongsberg Analogue input node, Type AL-100B/I8EX, Ex ia IIC T4, Nemko 12.7035X, Sn.:4005

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

  • One channel reads wrong or out of range: check the sensor wiring on the A/B/C/D terminals, the sensor itself (PT100 resistance or transducer output) and the cable for water ingress.
  • All channels lost: check supply on X9 POWER IN, the COMM line and the power and repeater unit.
  • Nodes after this one also lost: check the POWER OUT / COMM OUT connections to the next node.
  • Unstable values: check AL REF GND, earth wire and cable screen terminations.
  • Corroded terminals: clean or replace the pluggable terminal blocks.

Safety note: This is an intrinsically safe (Ex ia) device. Work only according to the hazardous-area rules on board, the certificate conditions and the maker's documentation. Do not connect non-certified equipment to the Ex circuits, and do not modify the module. Isolate power before replacing the node and use qualified personnel.

Common Alarms

Alarm texts for sensor and node faults are shown on the system's operator station and are documented in the manual of the installed Kongsberg system. We do not list undocumented alarm codes.

Maintenance Tips

  • Keep the node dry and its cover closed.
  • Check terminal tightness and cable glands during routine maintenance.
  • Check sensor readings against reference values periodically.
  • Keep a spare AL-100B/I8EX on board to avoid long loss of tank monitoring.

Possibly, but this is Not verified. Please send your label photo so we can check.

8. Which unit powers the node?
In Kongsberg systems the AL-100B/RPEX Power and Repeater Unit is used for the Ex node line; confirm against your system drawings.

9. Do you supply GT-250 pressure transducers?
Please send us the transducer model – we source Kongsberg sensors on request.

10. Do you ship worldwide?
