Overview

The ABB TERM01 is a Module Termination Unit (MTU) used in conjunction with ABB’s S800 I/O modules, which are widely deployed in distributed control systems (DCS). Its primary function is to terminate field wiring and provide a clean, organized interface between sensors, actuators, and the I/O modules.

This unit supports up to 16 input/output channels via a 25-pin D-sub connector, making it ideal for compact installations in control cabinets. Moreover, it features DIN rail mounting, IP20 protection, and compliance with IEC 60664-1 pollution degree 2, ensuring safe operation in industrial settings.

The TERM01 is commonly used in power generation, chemical processing, and manufacturing automation, where signal integrity and mechanical reliability are essential.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

The TERM01 is used in distributed control systems where field signals must be reliably connected to I/O modules. For example, it terminates wiring from temperature sensors, pressure transmitters, and digital switches in process control, energy management, and factory automation.

Its compact footprint and standardized connector make it ideal for space-constrained panels, modular installations, and retrofit projects. Engineers value its ease of installation, signal clarity, and mechanical robustness in demanding environments.
