TU810 Compact Module Termination Unit (MTU)

Description

TU810

The ABB TU810 functions as a 16 – channel, 50V compact module termination unit (MTU) within the ABB S800 I/O system. Its primary role is to act as the interface between the field wiring and the I/O modules. It distributes the module bus to the connected I/O module and also to the next MTU in the chain. By shifting the outgoing position signals, it accurately generates the correct address for the I/O module. This is a key function in ensuring that each module in the system is correctly identified and can communicate effectively.

The MTU is a passive unit, which means it doesn’t actively process data but plays a vital role in facilitating the connection. It uses two mechanical keys for configuration, with each key having six positions, resulting in a total of 36 different configurations. This mechanical configuration is a simple yet effective way to ensure compatibility with different types of I/O modules, without affecting the functionality of either the MTU or the I/O module.

Main features and advantages:

Opting for the ABB TU810 brings about several real – world advantages. Engineered for reliability, its mechanical keying feature is a game – changer. By preventing the insertion of the wrong I/O module, it significantly reduces the risk of system failures due to incorrect installations. This, in turn, ensures long – term performance and reduces unplanned downtime, a major concern in any industrial setting. The compact installation design, which allows for one – wire connections for I/O modules, simplifies the overall wiring process. This not only reduces the engineering overhead during system setup but also makes future expansions or modifications easier. Maintenance teams will appreciate the simplicity of the ABB TU810. With its clear mechanical configuration and straightforward connection setup, troubleshooting becomes less complex. For example, if there’s an issue with a particular I/O module, the mechanical keys can quickly indicate if the module is correctly installed, reducing the mean time to repair.

Application areas:

The ABB TU810 finds extensive use in various industries. In power plants, it plays a crucial role in connecting field sensors and actuators to the I/O modules that control the generation and distribution of power. Given the need for continuous uptime in power plants, the reliability of the ABB TU810 in ensuring proper module connections is invaluable. In manufacturing facilities, especially those with high – speed production lines, the ability to handle up to 16 channels of field signals and process power connections efficiently is essential. It enables real – time monitoring and control of various manufacturing processes, from conveyor belt speeds to robotic arm movements. In process control environments, such as chemical plants, the ABB TU810 ensures that analog and digital signals from different sensors and valves are correctly routed to the appropriate I/O modules, maintaining the integrity of the process control loop.

Installation and maintenance:

Before installing the ABB TU810, it’s crucial to verify the compatibility of the I/O modules you intend to connect. Check the ABB documentation to ensure that the specific I/O modules you’re using are supported by the TU810’s 36 – configuration mechanical key system. Ensure that the DIN rail where the TU810 will be mounted is in good condition and has enough space for proper installation. Also, confirm that the power supply for the connected I/O modules is stable and within the specified voltage range.

For ongoing maintenance, regularly inspect the latching device on the DIN rail to ensure it’s still securely holding the TU810 in place. Check the terminal block connections for any signs of  loosen or corrosion, which could affect signal transmission. Although the TU810 is a passive unit, it’s still a good practice to periodically review the mechanical keys to make sure they haven’t been accidentally moved, as this could lead to incorrect module identification.
