Core Overview
ABB TB820V2 3BSE013208R1 is a high-performance modular cluster modem launched by ABB Group for industrial distributed control systems. It is a communication network component of ABB AC 800M and Symphony Plus control systems, and its core function is to achieve long-distance and highly reliable data transmission between dispersed equipment and control centers in industrial sites, especially suitable for remote industrial scenarios where wired communication links cannot be deployed. This device adopts modular design and cluster communication technology, which can integrate multiple communication link resources and complete bidirectional transmission of on-site I/O signals, device status data, and control instructions through industrial grade wireless communication protocols or dedicated networks. It is a key communication bridge connecting "edge devices" and "control centers".
Compared to traditional single channel modems, the TB820V2 modular cluster modem has achieved a qualitative improvement in communication reliability, link redundancy capability, and expansion flexibility. It supports hot swapping of multi standard communication modules, automatic link switching, and load balancing, and can adapt to the communication needs of complex industrial environments such as power inspection, oil and gas field exploitation, and mining. Its deep compatibility with ABB control systems can quickly integrate into existing industrial automation systems, reduce system integration costs, and provide stable support for distributed data acquisition and remote control in industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) scenarios.
Typical application scenarios
4.1 Remote monitoring system for oil and gas fields
In remote oil and gas field extraction scenarios, oil wells, gas wells, and gathering stations are scattered, and the deployment cost of wired communication is extremely high. TB820V2 can serve as the on-site communication core, equipped with 5G+LoRaWAN dual standard modules: the 5G module is used to upload key data such as oil well pressure, temperature, and production to the remote control center at high speed, and supports real-time video monitoring feedback; The LoRaWAN module is used to connect sensor nodes around the well site (such as pipeline leak detection sensors), achieving low power consumption and wide coverage. Through link redundancy design, when 5G signals are interrupted due to terrain obstruction, they can automatically switch to LoRaWAN and form an ad hoc network with adjacent well site devices to ensure data is not lost. At the same time, the control center can issue remote control commands such as starting and stopping the pumping unit and adjusting the valve opening through this equipment, achieving unmanned operation of oil and gas fields.
4.2 Inspection of Transmission and Transformation in the Power Industry
In the inspection system of high-voltage transmission and substation, TB820V2 can be deployed in inspection robots and online monitoring devices (such as insulator pollution monitoring and wire temperature monitoring equipment), and configured with 4G/5G modules to achieve the transmission of monitoring data and control instructions. The high-definition camera and infrared thermal imager data carried by the inspection robot are transmitted back to the operation and maintenance center at high speed through the 5G module, and the operation and maintenance personnel can remotely control the robot's movement and detection actions; The data of SF6 gas leakage monitoring and dissolved gas monitoring in transformer oil in the substation are aggregated through this equipment and connected to the ABB Symphony Plus DCS system to achieve real-time monitoring and fault warning of the transmission and transformation equipment status. Its industrial grade protection design can adapt to strong electromagnetic interference in substations and extreme outdoor temperature environments.
4.3 Underground communication system in mines
In the underground communication scenarios of coal mines and metal mines, TB820V2 can serve as the core equipment of underground base stations, equipped with LoRaWAN+industrial Ethernet modules, to build underground wireless communication networks. The LoRaWAN module is used to connect personnel positioning terminals and equipment status sensors (such as excavation machine vibration sensors and water pump pressure sensors) underground, achieving low-power and long-distance data transmission; The industrial Ethernet module is interconnected with the ABB AC 800M controller in the ground control center through optical fibers, uploading underground data to the ground system and receiving production scheduling instructions issued by the ground. The explosion-proof design of the equipment (optional) can meet the requirements of underground explosion prevention, and the wide temperature working characteristics adapt to the high temperature and high humidity environment underground, providing communication support for safe production in mines.
4.4 New Energy Station Cluster Management
In wind power, photovoltaic and other new energy stations, TB820V2 can achieve communication and interconnection between distributed power generation units and centralized control centers. In the wind farm, the operating data (speed, power, yaw angle) of each wind turbine is uploaded to the ABB control system in the wind farm control center through the TB820V2 equipment (equipped with 4G/5G modules) in the wind turbine control cabinet; The centralized control center issues control commands such as wind turbine pitch and yaw through this device to achieve collaborative control of the wind turbine cluster. In photovoltaic power plants, this equipment can connect to communication interfaces of photovoltaic inverters and combiner boxes, collect data such as power generation, voltage, and current, and upload it to the centralized control center through NB IoT modules (low-power). At the same time, it supports batch management of station equipment through remote operation and maintenance platforms, improving the operational efficiency of new energy stations.
Precautions for use
-Before installing the equipment, the selection of communication modules should be determined based on the on-site communication environment (signal strength, transmission bandwidth requirements) to avoid communication quality degradation caused by module mismatch with the scene; When installing the rack, it is necessary to ensure that the equipment is kept at a distance of ≥ 10cm from other heating devices to ensure good heat dissipation.
-When installing outdoors, it is necessary to use an IP65 protection level installation kit to ensure that the equipment wiring port is well sealed and to prevent rainwater and dust from entering; The antenna installation should be carried out in an unobstructed high position, firmly fixed, and avoid wind induced antenna displacement that affects signal reception.
-Flame retardant cables should be used for power wiring, and independent power supply circuits should be connected for redundant dual power inputs. It is recommended to configure surge protectors (with a current resistance of ≥ 10kA) at the power input end to resist lightning strikes and grid impacts; Before wiring, it is necessary to confirm that the power supply voltage matches the rated voltage of the equipment and avoid reversing the positive and negative poles.
-When configuring equipment, communication parameters matching with the control system (such as IP address, protocol type, link priority) must be completed through ABB configuration software. After configuring redundant links, link switching tests must be conducted to verify switching time and data continuity; Suggest enabling data encryption function (supporting AES-256 encryption) to ensure the security of industrial data transmission.
-In daily operation and maintenance, it is necessary to regularly check the operating status of equipment (module temperature, signal strength, flow) through a remote management platform, clean the surface dust of equipment every month, and check whether the antenna connection is firm; Quarterly testing of communication link quality, timely optimization of antenna positions or replacement of communication modules.
-When replacing the communication module, it is necessary to first execute the "module offline" command through the management platform, and avoid touching the metal contacts of the module during hot plugging; After installing the new module, communication parameters (such as APN and frequency band) need to be reconfigured to ensure consistency with the main link parameters.
-In scenarios with extremely strong electromagnetic interference, such as substations and intermediate frequency furnace workshops, dedicated shielded cabinets should be equipped for equipment, and shielded cables should be used to connect antennas and equipment to reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference on communication signals.
