ABB M10x Motor Control and Protection Unit (1TNA920500R0002)
Core positioning and target scenario
M10x is an intelligent motor control and protection device launched by ABB, which provides an integrated solution of "protection+control+monitoring" for motors based on current/voltage measurement and maintenance data monitoring. Its core value lies in:
Precise protection: covering common motor faults such as overload, grounding faults, and voltage anomalies to avoid equipment damage;
Flexible control: supports multiple drive types such as direct start (DOL), reversible start (REV-DOL), and soft start, adapting to different motor operation requirements;
Intelligent Interconnection: Supports industrial bus protocols such as Modbus RTU and PROFIBUS-DP, and can be connected to distributed control systems (DCS) or PLCs for remote monitoring and parameter configuration;
Scenario adaptation: Suitable for small and medium-sized motors in the industrial field (such as pumps, fans, compressors), especially for scenarios that require high reliability protection and remote control (such as chemical, manufacturing, and power auxiliary systems).
Product classification and core differences
The M10x series is divided into two basic types based on functional complexity, and further subdivided by communication protocol and power specifications. The core differences of each category are shown in the following table:
Classification dimensions, specific types, core functional differences, applicable scenarios
Function type M101 (basic type) - protection based solely on current measurement (such as overload, short circuit);
-No voltage related functions;
-Support basic control (such as contactor feeding, direct start) and simple motor control with only current protection (such as small fans)
M102 (Advanced Type) - Based on current and voltage measurement, with added voltage related protection (such as undervoltage and overvoltage);
-Support complex controls such as soft start and reversible start;
-Support parameter monitoring (such as voltage, power) for motors that require multidimensional protection and complex control (such as process pumps)
Communication Protocol - M (Modbus RTU) supports Modbus RTU protocol (RS485 interface), suitable for small and medium-sized networking (up to 32 nodes per bus) and docking with PLC or local control systems
-P (PROFIBUS-DP) supports PROFIBUS-DP V0/V1 protocol, supports cyclic/non cyclic data transmission, multi master station mode, and is suitable for industrial bus networking to access large DCS systems (such as ABB AC800M, Siemens PCS7)
The power specifications of 24VDC/110VAC/240VAC digital input (DI) voltage are consistent with the power specifications, and 24VDC needs to be matched according to the on-site power supply for DC control system, and 110/240VAC is used for AC power supply scenarios
Core hardware components and accessories
The M10x system consists of a main unit, an operation panel, connecting cables, and optional accessories. The functions, models, and parameters of each component are as follows:
(1) Main unit (core control module)
The main unit is the core of M10x, integrating electronic control circuit and built-in current transformer (CT), with key parameters:
Built in CT range: 0.24~63A (when the rated current of the motor exceeds 63A, an external CT is required);
Installation method: The bottom comes with a DIN rail buckle (supporting horizontal installation), and optional screw accessories can be used for vertical installation;
Digital input (DI): 24VDC/110VAC/240VAC (consistent with power specifications), used for local control signal input (such as start stop commands);
Core model example:
Function Type Communication Protocol Power Specification Model (ID Number)
M101 Modbus RTU 24VDC 1TNA920611R0001
M101 PROFIBUS-DP 240VAC 1TNA920733R0001
M102 Modbus RTU 110VAC 1TNA920622R0002
M102 PROFIBUS-DP 24VDC 1TNA920711R0002
(2) Operation panel (local human-machine interface)
All M10x main units must be equipped with an operation panel for local monitoring, control, and parameter configuration, which can be divided into two types:
Panel model, core function, adaptation scenario model (ID number)
MD21- with LCD display screen (displaying parameters and fault codes);
-Equipped with LED indicator lights (power, operation, fault);
-Support control buttons (start stop, reset) and navigation buttons;
-Scenario 1TNA920500R0002 (document core model) with mini USB port (for parameter configuration) requiring visual parameter monitoring
MD31- Only equipped with LED indicator lights (without LCD display screen);
-Support basic control buttons and reset;
-Scenario 1TNA920500R0001 with lower cost, requiring only basic status indication and no parameter viewing
(3) Connecting cables
Used for signal connection between the main unit, operation panel, and expansion module (such as AO11), key models:
Cable model, length, interface type, function, usage, model (ID number)
TA201 1.2m RJ11 main unit at both ends connected to MD21/MD31 panel (standard configuration) 1TNA920005R2101
TA204 0.2m two end RJ11 main unit connected to AO11 analog output module 1TNA920005R2106
