ABB CAR 11 Contronic Module CAR 11 H&B Contronic

ABB CAR 11 Contronic Module CAR 11 H&B Contronic

Basic information

Model and number: The model number is CAR 11, and the part number is usually the specific code of the relevant series, e.g. 0788xxx (the specific number may vary depending on the batch, etc.).

Dimensions and weight: The standard dimensions and weight are not yet known, please refer to other modules of the same series, the approximate dimensions may be around 20 - 30cm in length, 5 - 10cm in width, 10 - 30cm in height, and the weight may be between 0.5 - 2kg.

Place of origin and dispatch: The place of origin may be a European country (e.g. Germany or Switzerland, which is a common place of origin for ABB products), and the place of dispatch may vary depending on the supplier and sales channel.

Functional features

Signal Processing Functions: As a Contronic module, the CAR 11 may be used to process specific signals, perhaps analogue or digital. It can acquire, convert, etc. input signals. For example, in an industrial automation system, it may receive weak signals from sensors and convert them into a standard signal format that the system can recognise.

System integration capability: It belongs to the ABB H&B Contronic series, which means that it is able to work in tandem with other modules of the same series (e.g. input modules, output modules, control modules, etc.). Data can be exchanged with other modules through standard interfaces and communication protocols to build a complete industrial automation control system together.

Application Fields

Industrial automation control: It is widely used in industrial automation field, like chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage and other process control industries. In chemical production, it can be involved in the monitoring and control of parameters such as reactor temperature, pressure and other links; in the pharmaceutical industry, it may be used in the automation control of drug production equipment to ensure the stability of drug quality and the efficiency of the production process. In discrete manufacturing industries such as automotive manufacturing and electronics manufacturing, it may also be used for automated control and monitoring of equipment to improve production efficiency and product quality.

Electrical interfaces

The electrical interfaces for the output of measured values and  communication with external systems include  

• The integrated Ethernet-10/100BASE-T interface for  

– gas analyzer configuration with configuration software ECT  

– QAL3 data transfer if the QAL3 monitoring option is integrated in the gas analyzer  

– data transmission with Modbus TCP/IP protocol (measured  values, status signals and control signals)  as well as the integrated I/O modules depending on the functional  range and order  

· Profibus module with one RS485 and one MBP interface (also  according to VDI 4201 Part 2),  

· Modbus module with one RS485 and one RS232 interface (also  according to VDI 4201 Part 3),  

· Digital I/O module with four digital inputs and four digital outputs,  

· 2-way analog output module with two analog outputs,  

· 4-way analog output module with four analog outputs.
