Core functions and advantages
1. Impedance matching to suppress signal reflection
This is the core function of TB807 terminal. It has a built-in high-precision matching resistor that can accurately match according to the characteristic impedance of the AC500 series bus (usually 120 Ω, depending on the specific bus type). When the bus signal is transmitted to the terminal, the matching resistor can effectively absorb the signal energy instead of reflecting it back to the bus, thereby eliminating the distortion problem caused by signal superposition and ensuring the accuracy of data transmission. Both digital and analog signals can be stably transmitted through impedance matching, improving the reliability of bus communication.
2. Enhance the anti-interference capability of the bus
There are a large number of electromagnetic interference sources in industrial sites, such as electromagnetic radiation generated by equipment such as frequency converters and motors, which can easily interfere with bus signals. The TB807 terminator indirectly enhances the bus's resistance to external electromagnetic interference by optimizing signal transmission characteristics and reducing noise accumulation caused by signal reflection. At the same time, it adopts industrial grade shielding design, which can effectively isolate external interference signals from entering the bus, further ensuring the stability of bus communication.
3. Simplify system configuration, plug and play
This terminal adopts a non programming design, which does not require parameter configuration through software. It only needs to be installed on the end module according to the bus topology requirements to work normally. Its interface is fully compatible with the bus interface of the AC500 series module, and the plug-in connection design makes installation and disassembly extremely convenient, greatly reducing the workload of system debugging and maintenance. Even non professional technicians can quickly complete the installation operation according to the manual.
4. Enhance bus transmission distance and speed
Signal reflection is a key factor limiting the bus transmission distance and transmission rate. Through the impedance matching effect of TB807 terminator, the attenuation degree of bus signal is significantly reduced, and the transmission distance is extended; At the same time, after eliminating signal distortion, the bus can stably support higher transmission rates, meeting the real-time control requirements of PLC systems. For example, in a long-distance bus system with multi module expansion, the installation of TB807 can effectively avoid communication delay or data loss problems caused by long transmission distances.

Applicable scenarios and supporting relationships
1. Core applicable scenarios
The application scenarios of TB807 terminal are highly bound to those of AC500 series PLC, mainly used in industrial automation systems that require stable bus transmission, including:
1. Multi module extended AC500 system: When there are a large number of I/O modules and communication modules extended in the AC500 series PLC system, forming a long bus link, TB807 terminal devices need to be installed at the end of the bus, such as distributed control nodes for manufacturing production lines, multi parameter monitoring systems for large equipment, etc.
2. Long distance bus transmission scenario: When the bus transmission distance between the processor module and the end expansion module exceeds 10 meters (the specific distance needs to be determined based on the bus type and transmission rate), the risk of signal attenuation and reflection increases, and TB807 must be installed to ensure signal quality, such as remote instrument control in chemical workshops, distributed pump group control in municipal sewage treatment systems, etc.
3. Complex electromagnetic interference environment: In industrial sites with strong electromagnetic interference such as steel, metallurgy, and automobile manufacturing, bus signals are susceptible to interference. TB807 improves the system's anti-interference ability and ensures communication stability by suppressing signal reflection and self shielding design.
4. High real-time control demand scenarios: such as precision machining, automated assembly lines, and other systems that require high real-time data transmission, TB807 can reduce signal delay and distortion, ensuring timely response to control instructions.
2. Matching relationship with AC500 series modules
The TB807 terminal needs to be used in conjunction with the bus system of the AC500 series PLC, and its core supporting logic is as follows:
-Matching with processor modules: It can be used with various models of AC500 series processor modules (such as PM511, PM513, PM550, etc.). Regardless of the performance of the processor, as long as the AC500 standard bus is used, the terminal must be installed at the end of the bus.
-Connection with expansion module: Installed on the terminal expansion module of the bus topology, usually directly plugged into the bus interface of the terminal I/O module or communication module, without additional wiring, to achieve terminal matching of bus signals.
-System quantity configuration: Each independent AC500 bus topology only requires the installation of one TB807 terminator, which must be installed at the end of the topology and cannot be installed in the middle of the bus, otherwise it will cause impedance mismatch and affect signal transmission.
Installation and usage specifications
