ABB NKPL01-3 Twinax Plant Loop Cable

ABB NKPL01-3 Twinax Plant Loop Cable

Basic Properties

Physical Characteristics:

Appearance and size: usually flat to facilitate wiring and connection within the system, usually 3 feet in length, usually in common colours such as black or grey.

Marking and Material: The cable is clearly marked with the model number ‘NKPL01-3’ and other relevant markings such as brand and batch. The internal conductor is generally silver-plated copper conductor with good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, the dielectric is often low dielectric constant materials, such as FEP or PFA, etc., the shielding is generally a copper alloy, and the jacket is a high-temperature extruded sheath.

Electrical characteristics:

Signal transmission type: mainly used for transmitting high-speed differential pair signals, in the ABB Bailey Infi 90 system, it can achieve high-speed data transmission and interaction between the controller, I/O modules, communication modules and other devices.

Transmission rate and stability: it can meet the system requirements for high-speed signal transmission rate, and the signal attenuation is small within the specified transmission distance, which can ensure the stability and reliability of the signal and reduce the signal distortion and BER, so as to guarantee the normal operation of the system.

Rated voltage and current: The rated voltage and current are determined according to specific application scenarios and the load requirements of the connected equipment, and can generally meet the normal working voltage and current requirements of each device in the ABB Bailey Infi 90 system.

Functions and roles

Device connection and signal transmission: as a connection cable, it can be used to connect various devices, such as PLC, I/O modules, communication modules, etc., in the ABB Bailey Infi 90 system, and realise the signal transmission between the devices, so as to ensure that the data interaction and communication within the system are carried out normally.

Improve signal integrity: The biaxial structure reduces inward skew, thus improving signal integrity, making the signal more stable and reliable during transmission, reducing signal interference and BER, and improving the performance and reliability of the system.

Application Fields

Industrial automation field: In the automation control system of chemical industry, iron and steel, electric power and other industries, it is widely used in connecting each device in the distributed control system, realising remote monitoring, data acquisition and transmission of control commands between the devices to ensure the automation control and monitoring of the production process.

Energy management field: It can be used in energy management system to connect energy monitoring equipment, smart meters, distributed energy resources, etc., to achieve energy data collection and transmission, and provide data support for energy management and optimisation.
