Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation:
Before installing the ABB 3HAC7681-1, ensure the control cabinet is properly grounded and ventilated to prevent overheating. Verify the power supply voltage (24 VDC ±20%) and use shielded cables for signal connections to minimize electromagnetic interference. Mount the module on a DIN rail (EN 50022) using the provided clips, ensuring sufficient clearance (min. 50 mm) between modules for heat dissipation. Follow ABB’s wiring diagrams to connect field devices, paying special attention to polarity and signal type (analog/digital).
