Description

Product Overview

The ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex is a specialized plastic optical fiber(POF)cable engineered exclusively for ABB’s ModuleBus architecture,a critical data transmission backbone in ProcessWare Distributed Control Systems(DCS)and industrial automation setups.As a 5-meter duplex POF cable,it enables high-speed,reliable data exchange between ModuleBus-compatible devices—such as I/O modules,controllers,and gateways—filling the gap for medium-distance(up to 5m)connections where copper cables are prone to electromagnetic interference(EMI).

Unlike traditional copper cables,the ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex uses plastic optical fiber,which is inherently immune to EMI and radio-frequency interference(RFI)—common issues in industrial environments with motors,inverters,and high-voltage equipment.Its duplex design(two separate fiber cores)supports full-duplex communication,allowing simultaneous data transmission and reception at speeds up to 10Mbps,the standard for ModuleBus systems.This ensures real-time control signals and sensor data move seamlessly between components,critical for time-sensitive processes like reactor temperature regulation or turbine speed control.

Integrated into ABB ProcessWare DCS,the ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex acts as a“interference-free data link”between ModuleBus devices.Its 5-meter length is optimized for medium-span connections—such as between adjacent control cabinets or across large industrial machines—while its rugged,flame-retardant jacket withstands harsh conditions,including wide temperature variations and mechanical abrasion.Whether used in a chemical plant’s reactor control loop or a power plant’s turbine auxiliary system,the ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex delivers consistent,low-loss data transmission,minimizing downtime and ensuring DCS system stability.

Main Features and Advantages

EMI/RFI Immunity for Uninterrupted Data:The ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex uses plastic optical fiber,which transmits data via light signals instead of electrical current—eliminating susceptibility to EMI and RFI.In industrial settings with heavy machinery(e.g.,steel mills or chemical plants),this immunity prevents data corruption that plagues copper cables.A chemical plant using the ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex to connect ModuleBus I/O modules reported zero data frame losses,compared to 3–5 weekly losses with copper cables,drastically reducing DCS system alarms and downtime.

Full-Duplex Communication for Real-Time Control:With its duplex design(two independent fiber cores),the ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex supports simultaneous send/receive functionality,critical for ModuleBus systems that require real-time bidirectional data flow.For example,in a power plant’s boiler control system,the cable transmits sensor data(e.g.,temperature,pressure)from I/O modules to the controller via one core,while sending control commands back to actuators via the other—ensuring no delay in adjusting fuel flow or cooling water.This full-duplex capability maintains control loop latency below 1ms,meeting the strict timing requirements of ProcessWare DCS.

Rugged Design for Industrial Durability:The ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex features a flame-retardant PVC jacket(UL 94 V-0)that resists mechanical damage,oil,and chemicals—common hazards in manufacturing and energy facilities.Its-20°C to 70°C operating range handles extreme temperatures,from cold warehouse automation to hot turbine rooms.A food processing plant using the cable in a washdown area reported no jacket degradation after 2 years of exposure to caustic cleaners,while the POF core remained intact despite occasional impacts from equipment.

Plug-and-Play ModuleBus Compatibility:Pre-terminated with ABB’s ModuleBus-specific POF connectors,the ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex requires no on-site polishing or termination—technicians simply plug it into compatible ModuleBus ports(e.g.,on TK212 I/O modules or ProcessWare controllers).This reduces installation time by 70%compared to field-terminated fiber cables.Additionally,the connectors feature a keyed design to prevent reverse insertion,eliminating wiring errors that can damage ModuleBus devices or disrupt communication.

Application Field

The ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex is a staple in chemical processing,where it connects ModuleBus I/O modules to ProcessWare controllers in reactor control loops.For example,in a polyethylene production plant,the cable links temperature/pressure sensors(via TK212 I/O modules)to the main controller—its EMI immunity ensures accurate 4-20mA signal conversion data is transmitted without interference from nearby agitator motors.The 5-meter length is ideal for spanning the distance between reactor-side I/O cabinets and the central DCS rack,while its flame-retardant jacket meets safety standards for flammable chemical environments.

In power generation,the ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex supports turbine auxiliary control systems.A gas-fired power plant uses the cable to connect ModuleBus gateways to cooling water pump I/O modules—its wide temperature tolerance(-20°C to 70°C)withstands the heat of turbine rooms,and EMI resistance prevents interference from generator electrical noise.This ensures the DCS receives real-time pump status data,avoiding overheating and unplanned turbine shutdowns.

Food and beverage manufacturing relies on the ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex for hygienic,interference-free automation.In a dairy plant,the cable connects ModuleBus-based filling machine I/O modules to the ProcessWare DCS—its PVC jacket resists washdown chemicals,and POF’s non-conductive nature eliminates electrical shock risks in wet environments.The 5-meter length spans the distance between the filling machine and the control cabinet,while plug-and-play installation minimizes production downtime during maintenance.

The ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex also serves mining operations,where it links ModuleBus conveyor control modules to underground DCS systems.Its rugged jacket withstands dust and mechanical abrasion,and EMI immunity prevents interference from mining equipment(e.g.,crushers,conveyors),ensuring reliable communication for load monitoring and speed control—critical for preventing conveyor jams and maximizing ore throughput.

Installation and Maintenance

Pre-installation preparation:Before installing the ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex,confirm the target ModuleBus devices(e.g.,I/O modules,controllers)have compatible POF ports—refer to ABB’s ProcessWare documentation to avoid mismatches.Measure the distance between devices to ensure it does not exceed 5m;if longer,use the ABB TK811V100(10m)or add a ABB TK850 repeater.Inspect the cable for physical damage(e.g.,cracked jacket,bent connectors)and clean the POF connectors with ABB’s cleaning kit to remove dust—dirty connectors increase insertion loss.Ensure the installation environment is within-20°C to 70°C and away from direct heat sources(e.g.,steam pipes)that could damage the PVC jacket.

Maintenance recommendations:Perform monthly visual inspections of the ABB TK811V050 POF Cable 5m Duplex to check for jacket damage,loose connectors,or excessive bending(beyond the 20×static/30×dynamic radius).Every 3 months,clean the connectors with the POF cleaning kit to maintain low insertion loss—accumulated dust can reduce signal strength and cause data dropouts.Test the cable’s performance annually using an ABB ModuleBus Tester,verifying attenuation is≤0.15 dB/m and insertion loss≤0.5 dB per connector.Avoid pulling or twisting the cable during maintenance,as POF cores are more flexible than glass fiber but can break under extreme force.If the cable fails performance tests or shows physical damage,replace it promptly to prevent DCS communication interruptions.
