Description
ABB TP01
- Technical Specifications (typical TP01 fan kit):
- Type: 24 V DC axial fan (ball-bearing for long life), sometimes supplied with finger guard & DIN-rail clip
- Airflow: ≈20–40 CFM (dep. on model — enough to create longitudinal flow across BC820)
- Power: 24 V DC (18–30 V), typ. 2–5 W
- Noise: ≤35–40 dBA
- MTBF: ≥50,000 h @ 40 °C
- Mounting: DIN rail 35 mm (clip on fan housing) or screw-mount via flange — positioned to pull/push air across CPU heat-sink
- Operating Temp.: –10 °C to +60 °C (fan itself); intended to keep CPU env <+55 °C
- Dimensions: ≈40 × 40 × 28 mm (fan) + DIN clip assembly
- Indicators: Usually none — fan runs when 24 V applied; some versions have tach output (not monitored by ABB system typically)
- Functional Features / Application / Material / Structure / Working Principle / Installation / Precautions:
- Not mandatory for most installations — AC 800M is convection-cooled & rated to +60 °C ambient with derating above +40 °C; TP01 used when:
- Cabinet ambient regularly >40 °C
- High module density in same cubicle with other heat sources (VFDs, PSUs)
- Customer spec requires forced air on electronics
- Mount TP01 on DIN rail directly above BC810/BC820 — orient so airflow passes over CPU heat-sink fins (typically blow DOWN across modules or suck UP — follow arrow on fan housing)
- Connect 24 V DC (fused, typ. 0.5 A slow-blow) — can be same PSU feeding PPD113 / CI840A — ensure total PSU load calc includes fan
- Verify fan spins on power-up (listen / feel airflow)
- Precautions:
- Periodically check fan operation (annual PM) — if fan fails in high-ambient cab the CPU may overtemp & fault (rare — CPU has internal thermal shutdown but better to catch fan fail)
- Do NOT obstruct air intake/exhaust — keep ≥50 mm clearance front/back of fan path
- If ambient is consistently ≤40 °C with good natural convection — TP01 not needed; can be omitted to reduce noise & MTBF concern
- For hazardous / wash-down areas: verify fan ingress rating (some TP01 versions IP20 — fine inside cabinet; if cabinet is washed down ensure cabinet IP rating protects fan)
- Not mandatory for most installations — AC 800M is convection-cooled & rated to +60 °C ambient with derating above +40 °C; TP01 used when:
