Description
Product Overview
The ABB TU515 is a high-reliability I/O terminal unit designed for industrial automation systems, specifically tailored for ABB’s S500 distributed control platform. As a critical component in modular I/O architectures, the TU515 serves as the interface between field devices (e.g., sensors, actuators) and control systems, enabling seamless integration of analog and 24V DC digital modules. Constructed with a robust polycarbonate housing, this terminal unit supports screw-terminal connections, ensuring secure and vibration-resistant wiring in harsh industrial environments.
The TU515 features a compact design (67.5 mm × 135 mm × 28 mm) and lightweight construction (0.232 kg), making it ideal for space-constrained control cabinets. It operates within a wide temperature range (0°C to +60°C) and offers IP20 protection against solid particles, ensuring consistent performance in challenging conditions. By providing a standardized interface for ABB’s S500 I/O modules, the TU515 simplifies system expansion and maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs. Its compatibility with both analog and digital signals makes it a versatile solution for process control, manufacturing, and energy management applications.
