Description

1. Product Overview

2. Technical Parameters

3. Advantages and Features

• AF 100 Optimization: Native support for ABB’s Advant Fieldbus 100 ensures plug-and-play compatibility with ABB’s DCS ecosystem.
• Robust Connectivity: Twisted pair/coaxial cable support minimizes interference, enabling reliable communication over long distances (up to 1.2 km).
• Energy Efficiency: Low power consumption (<1 W) reduces operational costs in energy-sensitive applications.
• Industrial-Grade Durability: Wide temperature range and humidity resistance make it suitable for extreme environments (e.g., manufacturing floors, power plants).
• Compact Design: Space-saving form factor (117 mm × 45 mm × 148.5 mm) simplifies installation in crowded control panels.

4. Application Areas and Use Cases

• Industries: Manufacturing, oil & gas, power generation, water treatment, and logistics.
• Applications: DCS network expansion, remote I/O connectivity, and industrial IoT (IIoT) sensor integration.
• Case Study: A chemical plant in France upgraded its DCS with the TC513V1 3BSE018405R1 to connect 50+ distributed sensors. The modem’s AF 100 compatibility reduced commissioning time by 20% and improved data consistency by 99.5%, ensuring compliant process control.

5. Competitive Differentiation

• Vendor-Specific Integration: Pre-engineered for ABB’s Advant OCS/S100 platforms, eliminating compatibility risks.
• Environmental Resilience: Extended temperature range (-20°C to +60°C) outperforms standard modems (typically -10°C to +50°C).
• Protocol Specialization: Native AF 100 support reduces latency and configuration complexity compared to multi-protocol alternatives.

6. Selection Recommendations

• System Compatibility: Ensure integration with ABB’s Advant OCS/S100 or AF 100-based networks.
• Environment: Match temperature/humidity requirements to the installation site (e.g., outdoor vs. indoor).
• Scalability: Plan for future device additions (max. nodes per AF 100 segment: 32).
• Cost Efficiency: Balance upfront costs with long-term reliability (e.g., reduced maintenance due to ABB’s quality standards).

7. Installation and Maintenance Notes

• Mounting: Secure via DIN rail or panel; ensure proper grounding to prevent EMI.
• Cabling: Use shielded twisted pair/coaxial cables (AWG 22–18) for optimal signal integrity.
• Power: Verify 24V DC supply stability; avoid voltage fluctuations >±10%.
• Maintenance: Regularly inspect cable connections; replace faulty modems immediately to avoid network downtime.
• Safety: Power down the system before installation/service; follow ABB’s ESD protection guidelines.
