Description
The ABB TU890 (3BSC690075R1) is a compact Module Termination Unit (MTU) specifically designed for the S800 I/O system. This passive unit serves as the primary interface for connecting field wiring and process power to I/O modules. It also facilitates the distribution of the ModuleBus to the I/O module and subsequent MTUs, while managing correct addressing through the shifting of outgoing position signals.
Features
- Compact footprint designed for space-efficient S800 I/O installations.
- Integrated ModuleBus distribution for seamless communication between modules.
- Mechanical keying mechanism to prevent the insertion of incorrect I/O modules.
- Secure latching device for stable DIN rail mounting.
- Supports field signal and process power connections via 27 terminals.
- Compatible with a wide range of S800 I/O modules, including AI890, AI893, AI895, AO890, AO895, DI890, and DO890.
Applications
The TU890 is widely utilized in industrial environments requiring high-density, reliable I/O termination, particularly in sectors such as:
-
Oil and Gas: Offshore platforms, wellhead collection stations, and storage facilities.
-
Chemical Processing: Hydrogenation units, flammable solvent storage, and chemical delivery pump stations.
-
Logistics and Safety: Power and safety interlock monitoring for hazardous liquid chemicals.
-
Coal Chemical Industry: Gasification islands and coking workshops.

Installation Guidelines
-
Mounting: Ensure the unit is securely latched onto a standard DIN rail. The design supports horizontal mounting configurations.
-
Safety: Always power down the system before inserting or removing I/O modules from the MTU to prevent electrical arcing or damage to the ModuleBus.
-
Handling: Use proper ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions when handling the MTU to protect internal components.
-
Wiring: Ensure all field wiring is properly terminated to the designated terminals. Verify that the mechanical keying matches the intended I/O module before installation.
-
Environment: Maintain the installation within the specified ambient temperature limits (up to 55 degC) to ensure long-term operational reliability.
