Product Overview

The ABB TP858 3BSE018138R1​is a robust,8-inch color touchscreen operator panel,forming a critical part of the Human-Machine Interface(HMI)layer within ABB’s Freelance and AC 800F control system ecosystem.Having commissioned these systems in everything from compact skid-mounted units to full-scale plant control rooms,I can attest that the TP858​serves as the indispensable”window”and”control point”for operators at the machine or local station level.Its core function is to provide a dedicated,graphical interface for monitoring process variables,acknowledging alarms,executing manual commands,and navigating through pre-configured faceplates and overview displays for a specific unit or subsystem.Unlike a central operator workstation running full SCADA software,the ABB TP858 3BSE018138R1​is typically deployed where immediacy,physical robustness,and deterministic response are paramount—directly on the factory floor,in electrical substations,or mounted on process skids.

This panel is not a generic PC-based terminal;it is a purpose-built industrial appliance.It connects directly to the control network,most commonly via Profibus DP,acting as a slave device to an AC 800F controller or higher-level system.This direct connection ensures fast,reliable data refresh and control response,independent of office IT network traffic.The ABB TP858 3BSE018138R1​runs a dedicated runtime software loaded with a specific application project created in ABB’s Freelance engineering tools.This project defines every screen,button,trend,and alarm list the operator sees.Its design philosophy centers on operational clarity and resilience:the resistive touchscreen can be operated with a stylus or gloved hand,its display is bright and readable in varied lighting,and its sealed front panel(typically IP65/NEMA 4X)withstands washdowns,dust,and incidental impacts common in industrial settings.In essence,it translates the complex digital state of the automation system into an intuitive,actionable interface for the human operator,bridging the gap between the control logic and the personnel responsible for safe and efficient operation.

Main Features and Advantages

Robust Industrial Design for Challenging Environments:The foremost advantage of the ABB TP858 3BSE018138R1​is its physical toughness.The IP65/NEMA 4X rating means it is completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand direct water jets,making it suitable for installation in food processing areas,outdoor enclosures,or pulp and paper mills where frequent cleaning or exposure to moisture is expected.The resistive touchscreen,while offering slightly less clarity than modern capacitive screens,is immune to false triggers from water droplets and can be reliably operated with work gloves—a critical feature for plant-floor usability that most commercial touchscreens fail to provide.This ruggedness ensures long-term reliability and reduces maintenance headaches in harsh conditions.

Seamless System Integration and Deterministic Performance:As a native component of the Freelance system,the TP858​offers plug-and-play integration.Its communication drivers and screen object libraries are built into the Freelance Engineering tools.Developers can drag-and-drop pre-configured faceplates for valves,motors,and PID controllers,with tags automatically linked to the underlying control system database.This tight coupling eliminates the need for complex driver configuration and OPC servers,streamlining project engineering.Furthermore,its direct Profibus DP link to the controller provides deterministic data exchange.Operators experience minimal lag between pressing a button and seeing the field device respond,which builds trust in the automation system and is crucial for precise manual interventions during startups or troubleshooting.

Optimized for Effective Local Operation:The panel’s 8-inch size offers an excellent balance between informational density and compact footprint,ideal for local control stations where space is limited.The combination of a touchscreen with dedicated,labeled physical function keys allows for both intuitive navigation and quick,blind operation for common or critical functions(e.g.,”ACK ALARM,””PUMP STOP”).The graphics and navigation are purposefully designed to be clear and straightforward,reducing operator training time and minimizing the potential for errors during stressful situations like alarm floods.It delivers focused functionality without the complexity or potential instability of a full Windows-based PC.

IP65/NEMA 4X sealed front panel and glove-operable resistive touchscreen ensure reliable operation in wet,dirty,or washdown industrial environments.

Native integration with ABB Freelance/AC 800F engineering environment simplifies configuration and guarantees reliable,deterministic communication via Profibus DP.

Balanced 8-inch display with dedicated function keys provides an optimal local operator interface,offering clear visualization and fast access to critical commands.

Purpose-built as an industrial appliance,it delivers high reliability and uptime compared to PC-based solutions in harsh plant-floor settings.

Application Field

The ABB TP858 3BSE018138R1​finds its niche as a local operator interface across a wide range of process and hybrid industries utilizing the Freelance control platform.

In a municipal water treatment plant,it is mounted on the control panel of a filter gallery or a chemical dosing skid.Here,operators can locally monitor flow rates,tank levels,and valve positions,and manually override auto-sequence for maintenance without needing to return to the central control room.In a pharmaceutical manufacturing suite,it serves as the interface on a bioreactor or purification skid,allowing technicians to view batch progress,enter parameters,and acknowledge alarms while complying with clean-area requirements due to its sealed,cleanable surface.

For machine builders and system integrators(OEMs),the TP858​is a preferred choice for packaging machines,compressors,or test stands.It provides a standardized,professional HMI that seamlessly connects to the machine’s AC 800F controller,presenting machine status,production counts,and diagnostic information.In the energy sector,it might be installed in a substation or on a district heating substation cabinet,providing local access to temperatures,pressures,and pump status for field technicians.Its role is consistently to decentralize interaction,bringing control and visibility directly to the point of operation,thereby enhancing efficiency,safety,and responsiveness.

Installation and Maintenance

Pre-installation preparation:Installing the ABB TP858 3BSE018138R1​requires careful planning.First,verify the panel cut-out dimensions in the enclosure door or panel.Ensure the chosen location provides adequate viewing angle and meets environmental specifications.Have the correct Profibus DP connector and cable ready,and plan the routing to avoid interference with power lines.The graphic application must be fully developed,tested,and ready in the Freelance engineering software.Confirm the Profibus DP station address for the panel(set via DIP switches or software)is unique on the network and matches the configuration in the controller.

Maintenance recommendations:Routine maintenance is minimal due to the panel’s sealed design.The primary task is keeping the screen clean using a soft,damp cloth and approved cleaners;avoid abrasive materials.Periodically check the tightness of cable gland entries if used.The most common maintenance activity is updating the graphic application.This is done by connecting a programming cable(often a serial cable)from an engineering laptop to the service port on the TP858​and using the Freelance tools to download the new project.Should the panel fail,diagnostics are typically limited to status LEDs.A complete spare TP858,pre-loaded with the application,is the most effective strategy for rapid recovery,as it can be swapped out by simply disconnecting power and network cables and reinstalling the new unit.
