Features:
- Interface Between AF100 Twisted Pair Cable and Coaxial Cable Networks
- Combines Capability of Twisted Pair/Coax Signal Conversion with 24V DC Power Operation
- Operates in Conjunction with Advant Fieldbus 100 Devices and Control Systems
The TC513V1 3BSE018405R1 operates as the AF100 Twisted Pair Coax Modem in industrial automation networks, providing reliable signal conversion between twisted pair and coaxial cable mediums. It continuously converts communication signals between Advant Fieldbus 100 twisted pair and coaxial cable configurations and transmits these signals across the network to support steady state operation of all connected fieldbus devices and control modules. Seamless media transition is standard with the TC513V1 3BSE018405R1, utilizing its 50V rated isolation to ensure signal integrity in electrically noisy industrial environments. The TC513V1 3BSE018405R1 has made improvements in several areas over previous modem designs in addition to incorporating universal AF100 network compatibility across diverse cable infrastructures.
The TC513V1 3BSE018405R1 provides essential communication bridging functions common to the entire fieldbus network, and is a critical component of the data transmission path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall control system. One TC513V1 3BSE018405R1 module is typically deployed per network segment to enable cable type transition. The TC513V1 3BSE018405R1 features compact modular design suitable for standard industrial mounting configurations and operates on standard 24V DC power supply commonly available in control system cabinets.
For extended AF100 network applications, the TC513V1 3BSE018405R1 enables significant infrastructure cost savings by allowing facilities to integrate modern twisted pair devices with existing coaxial cable installations. In addition to standard signal conversion operation, the TC513V1 3BSE018405R1 maintains reliable communication performance across mixed cable topologies. Using this method, the TC513V1 3BSE018405R1 continually facilitates data exchange between devices connected to different physical media types. If the network detects signal degradation or cable faults, the TC513V1 3BSE018405R1 preserves communication continuity through its robust electrical isolation and stable 24V DC power operation, ensuring minimal disruption to critical process control applications.
The TC513V1 3BSE018405R1 ABB Twisted Pair Coax Modem may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
