MT-91-ARCFPA
The MT-91-ARCFPA is widely used in:
- Manufacturing: Machine control for conveyor systems, robotic arms, and quality inspection stations.
- Energy: Monitoring auxiliary systems in power plants or renewable energy installations (e.g., wind farm control panels).
- Marine: Shipboard automation for engine management, bilge pump control, and navigation systems.
- Process Industries: Chemical mixing, water treatment, and wastewater management.
Case Study:
A North American food processing plant integrated the MT-91-ARCFPA into its packaging line to monitor conveyor speeds and product flow. The panel’s RS-485 connectivity enabled real-time data exchange with the plant’s PLC, reducing downtime caused by miscommunication between devices by 20%. The intuitive touchscreen also allowed operators to adjust parameters on-the-fly, improving production efficiency by 15%.

MT-91-ARCFPA
The MT-91-ARCFPA outperforms comparable HMIs with its wider temperature tolerance, robust environmental protection, and native multi-language support, making it a more versatile choice for global industrial applications.
- System Compatibility: Verify RS-422/485 compatibility with your existing control system (e.g., ABB PLCs or third-party devices).
- Environmental Needs: Choose the MT-91-ARCFPA for harsh environments with temperature fluctuations, dust, or moisture. For clean, controlled environments, consider smaller HMIs, but note this model’s superior durability.
- Scalability: Evaluate required I/O channels and communication protocols; the module’s configurable inputs/outputs are ideal for applications needing direct sensor/actuator integration.
- Budget: Balance upfront costs with long-term reliability; its low power consumption and minimal maintenance needs offer cost savings over less durable alternatives.
- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: Use anti-static wrist straps during handling to prevent damage to internal components.
- Wiring: Shielded cables are recommended for RS-422/485 connections to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Firmware Updates: Regularly update firmware via ABB’s dedicated software to access new features and security patches.
- Routine Inspections: Check for loose connections and clean the touchscreen and vents quarterly to maintain optimal performance.
- Safety Compliance: Ensure installation meets local electrical codes (e.g., grounding requirements) and follows ABB’s guidelines for industrial safety.
