The ABB TK821F (order code: 3BDM000150R1) is a precision-engineered industrial serial cable designed for reliable low-speed data transmission between ABB legacy automation equipment and modern control systems—specifically optimized for RS485/RS232 communication protocols in applications such as parameter configuration, diagnostic data transfer, and remote monitoring of AC500 PLCs, ACS drives, and 800xA auxiliary modules. It functions as a "bridge" between serial-based devices and higher-level control networks, ensuring stable data exchange (even in electrically noisy environments) with minimal signal degradation. Featuring shielded conductors, rugged insulation, and industry-standard connectors, it operates reliably in industrial settings where compatibility with legacy systems and resistance to interference are critical. Below is its detailed specification:
- Product Model: TK821F
- Order Code: 3BDM000150R1
- Product Series: ABB TK Series Industrial Serial Cables (Legacy Communication, Compatible with ABB RS485/RS232 Devices)
- Core Function: Transmits serial data (RS485/RS232) between ABB legacy and modern equipment; provides EMI/RFI protection; ensures signal integrity over short-to-medium distances; enables configuration, diagnostics, and control via serial protocols
- Electrical Specifications:
- Mechanical Specifications:
- Environmental Ratings:
- Operating Temperature Range: -25℃~+70℃ (-13℉~158℉)
- Storage Temperature Range: -40℃~+85℃ (-40℉~185℉)
- Humidity Tolerance: 5%~95% RH (non-condensing, 40℃)
- Chemical Resistance: Resistant to mineral oil, grease, and industrial dust (per IEC 60068-2-54)
- Ingress Protection (IP): IP20 (cable sheath); IP40 (connectors with hoods)
- Vibration Resistance: 10~500Hz, 1g acceleration (IEC 60068-2-6; no signal loss)
- Compliance Standards: IEC 60245-2 (flexible cables), UL 2556 (communication cables), VDE 0815 (serial communication), CE, RoHS, GB/T 18287 (China)
- Dual Protocol Support (RS485/RS232): Switchable between RS485 (multi-drop, long-distance) and RS232 (point-to-point, short-distance) protocols—eliminates the need for separate cables, simplifying inventory and enabling flexible connection to ABB legacy devices (e.g., old ACS600 drives) and modern systems.
- Enhanced EMI/RFI Shielding: 85% copper braid + aluminum foil shielding blocks electromagnetic interference from industrial equipment (e.g., motor drives, transformers)—prevents data corruption (e.g., garbled parameter values) in noisy factory environments.
- Flexible Installation: Class 5 stranded conductors and small diameter (5mm~6mm) allow tight bending (8× cable diameter radius)—ideal for routing through crowded control cabinets (e.g., between an AC500 PLC and legacy HMI) without damaging conductors.
- Gold-Plated Contacts: Gold-plated DB9 connectors ensure low contact resistance (≤10mΩ) and corrosion resistance—maintains reliable connectivity even in humid environments (e.g., food processing plants), reducing maintenance needs.
- ABB Legacy Compatibility: Designed for ABB’s RS485/RS232-equipped devices (AC500 PLCs, ACS series drives, 800xA auxiliary modules)—ensures plug-and-play functionality with ABB’s proprietary serial interfaces, avoiding adapter requirements and signal loss.
- Flame-Retardant Sheath: UL 94 V0-rated PVC sheath self-extinguishes within 10 seconds—enhances safety in enclosed control rooms and cabinet installations, complying with industrial fire codes (e.g., NFPA 70).
- Extended Distance Support: RS485 mode enables data transmission up to 1200m at 9600 bps—facilitates communication with remote legacy devices (e.g., pump controllers in water treatment plants) without signal repeaters.
- ABB Legacy Device Communication: Primary application—connecting ABB legacy and modern systems:
- ACS Drive Parameter Configuration: Links laptops (via RS232) to ACS600/ACS800 drives (via RS485) for parameter upload/download; dual shielding resists EMI from drive inverters, ensuring error-free configuration of speed/torque settings in manufacturing plants.
- AC500 PLC Diagnostics: Connects AC500 PLCs to legacy HMIs via RS485 multi-drop network; 1200m distance support enables monitoring of PLCs in remote locations (e.g., warehouse conveyor control panels) from a central office.
- Industrial Retrofit Projects: Enabling communication in system upgrades:
- Factory Modernization: Bridges legacy ABB DCS modules (RS485) to new 800xA systems (via RS232-to-Ethernet converters); flexible stranding routes through existing cabinet infrastructure, avoiding costly rewiring during upgrades.
- Utility Plant Upgrades: Connects old water pump controllers (RS232) to new SCADA systems via RS485; gold-plated contacts ensure reliable data transfer in damp utility environments, preventing lost pump status updates.
- Remote Monitoring Systems: Data transmission for off-site supervision:
- Oil & Gas Pipeline Sensors: Links RS485-based pressure/temperature sensors to ABB RTUs (remote terminal units); 1200m range covers pipeline segments, while EMI shielding resists noise from compressor motors.
- Solar Farm Inverter Monitoring: Connects legacy solar inverters (RS232) to AC500 PLCs via RS485; operates reliably in -25℃~+70℃ temperatures, ensuring continuous monitoring of power output in desert or cold-climate solar farms.
- Building Automation Integration: Connecting HVAC and lighting systems:
- Commercial Building HVAC: Links ABB AC500 PLCs to legacy HVAC controllers via RS485; flame-retardant sheath complies with building fire codes, while IP40 connectors resist dust in ceiling voids.
- Hospital Lighting Control: Connects RS232-based lighting panels to central AC500 PLCs; low crosstalk ensures dimming commands are transmitted without errors, maintaining critical lighting levels in patient rooms.
