Description
What This Product Solves
The ABB CTB810 is an industrial control module designed for rapid and accurate data acquisition and processing in complex machinery and automation systems. It solves the challenge of providing reliable, real-time input/output (I/O) control within harsh industrial environments. By supporting multiple digital and analog signals, the module helps engineers monitor and control automation processes efficiently, maintaining system responsiveness and operational reliability.
This module is essential in applications where fast processing, high accuracy, and rugged design are required, such as manufacturing, power systems, and industrial control panels. Keywords like “industrial automation,” “I/O control,” “real-time processing,” and “harsh environment rating” reflect its focus on robust automation performance.
How the Product Works & Fits into a System
The ABB CTB810 integrates 8 isolated digital input channels and 4 analog input channels, along with corresponding digital output channels, designed to handle 24 V DC (dry contact/TTL) signals. It supports a sampling rate of 1 millisecond per channel, enabling rapid data updates critical for responsive control.
Physically, the compact module measures approximately 127.5 mm × 185 mm × 59 mm and features an IP67 protection rating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor mounting. It is compatible with ABB’s HN800 and CW800 system series, integrating seamlessly into control architectures requiring high-speed I/O processing. The module’s rugged design ensures durability in challenging plant floor environments.
