ABB 3ASC25H215E DATX131

Product introduction

The 3ASC25H214 DATX130 is a compact drive auxiliary terminal board from ABB, designed to extend the input/output capabilities of ABB’s ACS600 and ACS800 series frequency converters. As a cost-effective solution in ABB’s drive accessory lineup, 3ASC25H214 DATX130 serves as a streamlined interface for connecting essential field devices to the drive, simplifying system integration in medium-complexity automation setups.

Engineered for reliable performance in industrial environments, 3ASC25H214 DATX130 provides signal conditioning and isolation, ensuring stable communication between the drive and external components like sensors, switches, and basic control devices. Its space-saving design makes it ideal for control cabinets with limited space, while compatibility with standard industrial signals allows seamless integration with PLCs and HMIs. Whether deployed in pump control, fan systems, or simple conveyor applications, 3ASC25H214 DATX130 enhances drive functionality, enabling efficient monitoring and control in various industrial settings.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Optimized for legacy drive compatibility: 3ASC25H214 DATX130 is specifically tailored for ABB’s ACS600 series drives (a predecessor to ACS800), making it a critical component for maintaining and upgrading existing installations. This compatibility ensures that older drive systems can still benefit from expanded I/O capabilities without requiring a full drive replacement. In a wastewater treatment plant with ACS600-driven pumps, this allows the facility to modernize its control interface while retaining reliable existing drive hardware.

Compact design with essential I/O: With a smaller footprint (160 mm × 100 mm × 35 mm) than higher-tier models like 3ASC25H219B DATX133, 3ASC25H214 DATX130 is ideal for space-constrained cabinets. Its 6 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 4 relay outputs, and 1 analog output provide just enough capacity for basic control needs—such as monitoring limit switches, receiving speed references, and triggering alarms—without the cost of unnecessary channels. In a small factory’s ventilation fan system, this balance of size and functionality reduces cabinet space usage by 25% compared to larger terminal boards.

Simplified power integration: Unlike some terminal boards that require external power, 3ASC25H214 DATX130 draws its 24 V DC supply directly from the drive’s internal power source, eliminating the need for additional wiring to external power supplies like AFP9075355 3BHS537443. This simplifies installation and reduces potential failure points, making it a reliable choice for applications where system simplicity is prioritized, such as small-scale manufacturing lines.

Cost-effective reliability: 3ASC25H214 DATX130 offers 2 kV AC isolation—sufficient for most general industrial environments—at a lower price point than higher-isolation models. This makes it a practical choice for applications without extreme electromagnetic interference, such as food packaging lines or material handling systems in warehouses. The isolation protects the drive from ground loops and minor voltage transients, ensuring consistent performance without overengineering.

Typical application scenarios

In a municipal water pumping station using ABB ACS600 drives, 3ASC25H214 DATX130 acts as the interface between the drive and the station’s control system. Digital inputs monitor float switch status (indicating water levels in storage tanks), while an analog input receives a pressure sensor signal from the discharge pipe. The analog output sends the pump’s actual speed to a local HMI, and relay outputs trigger audible alarms when flow rates drop below thresholds. The board’s compact size fits easily in the station’s outdoor control cabinet, and its direct power from the drive simplifies wiring in the remote location.

In a small manufacturing facility’s conveyor system, 3ASC25H214 DATX130 connects an ACS800 drive to a basic PLC. Digital inputs detect the presence of products on the belt via photoelectric sensors, and an analog input receives a speed reference signal from the PLC. Relay outputs control conveyor stop/start buttons and a warning light for jam conditions. The board’s simplified design reduces setup time, allowing the facility’s maintenance team to complete installation and commissioning in under a day—critical for minimizing production downtime during upgrades.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation: Mount 3ASC25H214 DATX130 on a 35 mm DIN rail in the control cabinet, ensuring 30 mm clearance for wiring and ventilation. Connect the board to the drive using the dedicated interface cable (part number 3XK1009-1AA00), ensuring secure insertion into both the board and drive connectors. Wire field devices to the terminal blocks using 0.5-1 mm² cable for analog signals and 0.75-1.5 mm² for digital signals; ground cable shields at the board end. The board draws power directly from the drive, so no external power supply is needed. Use a torque screwdriver set to 0.4 Nm for terminal connections. Power off the drive during installation.

Maintenance suggestions: Inspect 3ASC25H214 DATX130 quarterly for loose connections, dust buildup, and terminal corrosion. Clean the board with compressed air or a dry cloth—avoid moisture or cleaning fluids. Test input/output functionality semi-annually by simulating sensor signals and verifying drive response (e.g., triggering a relay output when a digital input is activated). Check isolation resistance annually with a megohmmeter (2 kV for 1 minute) to ensure it remains above 50 MΩ. If communication with the drive fails, first check the interface cable for damage before replacing the board—use only ABB-certified replacements to maintain compatibility with ACS600/ACS800 drives.
