Description
The
ABB TC520 is a high-performance
System Status Collector designed for seamless integration with ABB’s Advant controllers (AC450 and AC460) in industrial automation systems. This module serves as a critical component for real-time monitoring and data collection, ensuring optimal system health and operational efficiency. Engineered with robust metal casing and advanced error-correction mechanisms, the
TC520 withstands harsh environments, including extreme temperatures (-40°C to +70°C) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it ideal for manufacturing, energy, and process control industries.
Key functionalities include real-time status monitoring of controller subracks, distributed data transmission via a dedicated serial link, and synchronization of system clock signals. The TC520 supports multiple communication protocols, such as Modbus TCP/IP, enabling compatibility with both legacy and modern control systems. Its autonomous operation ensures continuous data collection regardless of user intervention, while the hot-swap capability minimizes downtime during maintenance.
