Description
Product Overview
The ABB TU515 is a multi-functional communications processor module designed for the ABB AC 800M controller family. This versatile module acts as a central hub, significantly expanding the controller’s connectivity by providing multiple independent serial communication ports. It enables the AC 800M to interface directly with a wide variety of field devices, subsystems, and third-party equipment using standard protocols like Modbus RTU/ASCII. The ABB TU515 is engineered for reliability, featuring galvanic isolation on its serial ports to protect the controller from electrical noise and ground loops. It facilitates critical tasks such as data acquisition from remote sensors, supervisory control of drives, and integration of legacy systems, making it an essential component for building comprehensive, multi-vendor automation networks within the System 800xA architecture where flexible and reliable serial communication is required.
