ABB TC810 3BSE076220R1 Select I/O Ethernet Adapter

The ABB TC810 3BSE076220R1, also cataloged as the TC810 Ethernet Adapter for copper media, operates as a dedicated hardware component for high-speed network interface and copper communication execution within ABB Select I/O platforms. Designed to establish dual-port 100 Base-TX copper Ethernet connections, the unit coordinates real-time data frame transmission between the field I/O backplane and upstream network switches. It provides redundant physical network interface execution, ensuring uninterrupted deterministic communication across industrial network topologies.

Hardware Specifications

Deterministic Backplane & EtherNet Network Integration

The communication adapter incorporates ABB proprietary backplane bus communication velocity Licences and deterministic networking protocols to ensure synchronized data exchange across distributed controller nodes. Operating as a dual-port Ethernet node, the adapter manages local rack data frames and maintains tight timing alignment across connected Select I/O modules. Firmware flash compatibility across the I/O backplane maintains predictable network cycle latencies and stable dual-link media redundancy, preventing packet loss and communication jitter across copper network segments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the TC810 3BSE076220R1 adapter support online hot-swapping during active system operation?

A: Yes. The TC810 adapter supports full hot-swap functionality, allowing module installation or removal without interrupting adjacent I/O processing or de-energizing the Select I/O rack.

Q: How is physical line redundancy implemented on the TC810 adapter?

A: The adapter is equipped with 2 external RJ45 ports (100 Base-TX) supporting redundant network paths over CAT 5 (WG 22 or better) cable runs up to 100 meters.

Q: What is the maximum allowable copper cable distance for each port on the TC810?

A: The maximum cable segment length for each 100 Base-TX RJ45 connection is 100 meters when using industrial CAT 5 cable rated WG 22 or better.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. Module Alignment & Hot-Swap Insertion: Align the 25 mm wide module guide rails with the designated slot position on the Select I/O mounting base. Press firmly until the mechanical latch fully locks. Hot-swapping can be performed while the system backplane is energized.
2. Ethernet Cable Connection: Connect industrial CAT 5 (WG 22 or better) twisted-pair cables with RJ45 (8P8C) connectors to Port 1 and Port 2. Ensure maximum segment length does not exceed 100 meters per port.
3. Shield Termination & Earthing: Terminate cable shielding directly at the cabinet entry ground bus. Ensure grounding braids maintain low impedance with at least 5 full thread engagements on M4/M5 chassis earthing studs.
4. Cable Channel Routing: Route network communication cables in dedicated low-voltage wiring troughs, keeping them physically separated from AC power conductors and VFD motor output leads to minimize signal interference.
