ABB TK803V018 Communication Cable Assembly

Product Dimensions：

The ABB TK803V018 is a specialized, high-quality V.24 / RS-232 System Cable designed for use within ABB’s System 800xA and Advant OCS automation platforms. It is primarily used to connect communication interfaces (such as the CI853 module) to external devices or modems.

Product Detailed Description

The TK803V018 cable provides a reliable serial communication link between ABB 800xA controller interface modules (e.g., CI853 serial communication interface) and serial field devices, modems, or printer interfaces. The designation “V018” specifies the exact length of the cable—1.8 meters (approximately 6 feet).

It features ruggedized, industrial-grade connectors (typically RJ45 on the controller side to DB9/DB25 or open ends on the peripheral side, depending on the exact pinout variant) designed to minimize signal noise and crosstalk in harsh electrical environments.

Technical Parameters

Product Advantages

• Pre-fabricated Precision: Eliminates manual pinout errors and soldering mistakes during field installation, ensuring instant plug-and-play operation.
• Noise Immunity: Uses high-grade shielding to protect low-voltage serial data signals from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) caused by surrounding motors or drives.
• Factory Tested: Certified by ABB to meet strict signal timing and impedance specs for AC 800M communication modules.
• Durable Construction: Industrial-grade jacketing resists chemical exposure, oil mist, and mechanical stress in cabinet environments.

Important Considerations & Precautions

• Distance Limit: Being an RS-232 based cable, it adheres to standard RS-232 distance constraints. Do not extend this cable past its 1.8m length without using signal repeaters or converters.
• Bend Radius: Observe standard fiber/copper installation guidelines—avoid sharp bends or severe pinching inside cable ducts to prevent internal wire breakage.
• Grounding & Shielding: Ensure the cable shield is properly grounded at the cabinet entry point or connector ground shell to maintain signal integrity in high-EMI environments.
• Hot-Plugging: Always verify if your specific serial protocol module allows live cable connection/disconnection to prevent communication faults or transient spikes.

Product Applications

• Substation & Power Plant Automation: Connecting AC 800M controllers via CI853 to serial protection relays or remote terminal units (RTUs).
• Industrial Modems: Interfacing controllers to radio modems or dial-up/cellular modems for remote telemetry.
• SCADA & Third-Party Gateways: Linking ABB controllers to third-party PLCs, gas chromatographs, or weigh scales using Modbus RTU / RS-232 protocol.
• Local Maintenance: Connecting local terminal printers or diagnostic devices to the control rack.
