Description
The ABB 07KT98 GJR5253100R0278 is an Advant Controller Module manufactured by ABB, a leading provider of power and automation technologies. It’s designed for use with the ABB AC31 programmable logic controller (PLC) series, specifically the AC31 300/400 models. Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities and key points:
Function:
- Provides an Ethernet communication interface for the ABB AC31 PLC, enabling it to connect to other devices and networks through a wired Ethernet connection.
- This allows the PLC to exchange data with Human Machine Interfaces (HMI), other PLCs, SCADA systems, and other industrial control equipment using Ethernet protocols like TCP/IP and Modbus TCP.
Specifications (may vary depending on specific source):
- Supports communication protocols: TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP (depending on model variation)
- Data rate: Up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
- Duplex: Full-duplex
- Auto-negotiation: Allows for automatic configuration of speed and duplex mode
- Network connectivity: Connects the PLC to an Ethernet network
- Memory size: User data and program memory might vary depending on the specific module version.
Applications:
- Factory Automation: Enables the ABB AC31 PLC to communicate with various industrial devices like sensors, actuators, drives, and other controllers on an Ethernet network for data acquisition and control tasks in manufacturing processes.
- Building Automation: Allows the PLC to integrate with building automation systems using Ethernet for controlling HVAC systems, lighting, security, and other building functions.
- Process Control: Facilitates communication between the PLC and process control equipment using Ethernet protocols in applications like oil and gas, chemical, and power industries.
Additional Considerations:
- Compatibility: Ensure compatibility between the specific 07KT98 model (communication protocol support) and the devices you intend to connect with the PLC.
- Alternatives: ABB might offer newer communication modules for the AC31 series supporting additional protocols or features. Consider exploring their current product catalog for suitable options.
- Availability: While widely used, the 07KT98 might be a legacy product depending on the specific revision. Check with authorized ABB distributors for availability.
