ABB TU842 Redundant Modular Terminal Unit

1. Product Overview

2. Core Specifications

3. Key Functions

3.1 1:1 Active Redundancy for Uninterrupted Signals

• Dual Termination Paths: Each field signal connects to two independent terminal paths (primary/standby) — one linked to the primary I/O module, the other to the standby I/O module. If the primary path fails (e.g., terminal short circuit, link cable damage), the system automatically switches to the standby path within <50ms, with no signal loss or DCS downtime.
• Redundancy Monitoring: Built-in logic continuously checks the health of both paths (e.g., signal continuity, terminal voltage). Faults (e.g., primary path open circuit) trigger local LED alarms and send diagnostic data to the AC 800M controller for remote monitoring.

3.2 Secure Signal Termination & Isolation

• Heavy-Duty Terminals: Spring-clamp terminals ensure vibration-resistant connections (critical for power plant/substation cabinets) and support 0.2–2.5mm² wires — compatible with most field wiring for analog/digital signals.
• Reinforced Isolation: 2kV AC isolation between redundant paths prevents cross-faults (e.g., a short in the primary path from affecting the standby path) — a key safeguard for safety loops (e.g., nuclear coolant level monitoring).

3.3 Simplified Redundancy Configuration & Maintenance

• Plug-and-Play Redundant Link Cables: Uses ABB prefabricated redundant link cables (e.g., 3HAC031686-001) to connect to primary/standby I/O modules — no manual wiring of redundancy logic, reducing commissioning time by 50%.
• Dual Test Points per Channel: Each path has a dedicated 4mm test port — technicians can measure signals in the primary/standby path without disrupting operation, enabling fault diagnosis while the system runs on the alternate path.
• LED Status Diagnostics:
  • Green "PRIMARY OK": Illuminates when the primary path is healthy.
  • Green "STANDBY OK": Illuminates when the standby path is healthy.
  • Red "PATH FAULT": Lights for primary/standby path failures (e.g., open circuit, short circuit).
  • Yellow "SWITCHED": Flashes when the system is running on the standby path (indicates primary path fault).

3.4 SIL 2 Compliance for Safety Loops

4. Typical Applications

• Nuclear Power Plant Safety Loops: Terminates 48 signals (24 AI: coolant level/pressure; 24 DI: safety valve status) in a SIL 2-certified loop — dual paths prevent signal loss during primary path maintenance or faults.
• Petrochemical Reactor Control: Connects 48 4-20mA sensors (reactor temperature/pressure) to redundant AI830R modules — automatic switchover avoids reactor shutdown if a termination path fails.
• Power Grid Substation Automation: Supports 48 digital signals (circuit breaker status, transformer alarms) — redundancy ensures uninterrupted communication with the grid control center, preventing blackout risks.

5. Usage Notes

1. Redundancy Wiring Rules:
   • Each field signal must be wired to both primary and standby terminals (labeled "P1–P48" and "S1–S48") — incomplete wiring breaks redundancy.
   • Use separate cable trays for primary/standby field wires to avoid simultaneous damage (e.g., from a single cable tray fire).
2. Link Cable Compatibility:
   • Use only ABB-approved redundant link cables (e.g., 3HAC031686-001) — third-party cables may not support <50ms switchover, causing signal gaps.
3. Fault Testing:
   • Test redundancy switchover via AC 800M Control Builder M (simulate primary path faults) to verify <50ms switchover and no signal loss.
   • Conduct monthly redundancy health checks (via controller diagnostics) to ensure both paths are operational.
4. SIL 2 Compliance Maintenance:
   • For safety loops, replace faulty paths within the specified MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) to maintain SIL 2 integrity.
   • Use ABB-calibrated test equipment (e.g., signal generators) to verify terminal isolation resistance (≥100MΩ) quarterly.
5. Environmental Considerations:
   • Mount the TU842 away from heat sources (e.g., power supplies) in control cabinets — overheating can degrade redundancy switchover performance.
   • In high-vibration environments (e.g., turbine halls), secure the unit with anti-vibration mounting clips (ABB part no. 3HAC032012-001) to prevent terminal loosening.
