Description
ABB TBU810 (TU810) – S800 I/O Terminal Unit for fast, reliable field wiring
The ABB TBU810 you asked about corresponds to the S800 I/O terminal unit commonly listed as TU810 in ABB documentation. From my experience, this base is the go-to wiring interface for many S800 I/O modules, giving you clean, serviceable connections on a 35 mm DIN rail. One thing I appreciate is how it lets you swap or service the I/O module without disturbing the field wiring—usually a big time-saver during turnarounds.

Key Features
- Optimized for ABB S800 I/O – Designed to host S800 I/O modules and provide orderly field terminations, typically for analog or digital signals depending on the seated module.
- DIN-rail installation – Snaps onto standard 35 mm DIN rail, making it quick to mount inside control cabinets.
- Service-friendly design – Module replacement without re-terminating field wires; you keep your field connections undisturbed.
- Clear channel marking – Channel labeling that keeps commissioning and troubleshooting straightforward in most cases.
- Shielding and grounding provisions – Typically supports shield handling to reduce noise on sensitive analog lines.
- Compact S800 footprint – Saves panel space while keeping wiring density practical for brownfield upgrades.
“We standardized on TU810 bases across two process lines. Technicians like that they can isolate, swap the I/O, and be done in minutes. It seems to cut panel time noticeably.”
Technical Specifications

| Signal Input/Output Types | Depends on the installed module (AI, AO, DI, DO; e.g., 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, 24 VDC digital). Verify per module datasheet. |
| Communication Interfaces | Module-to-base backplane connection (S800 ModuleBus via host system); field-side screw/spring terminals for wiring |
| Installation Method | 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) in control cabinet; front-access terminal wiring |
| Dimensions & Weight | S800 I/O single-width terminal unit form factor; compact and lightweight (exact dimensions depend on variant) |

Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet & environment – Install on 35 mm DIN rail in a clean, dry cabinet. Aim for IP54 or better in harsh areas. Maintain airflow around I/O bases.
- Wiring – Use correctly sized conductors (commonly 0.5–2.5 mm²). Keep analog/shielded cables away from high-voltage runs. Torque terminals per ABB guidelines.
- Grounding – Bond shields at a single point (typically the cabinet ground) and use the base’s shielding provisions where available.
- Hot work practices – De-energize circuits when feasible. If replacing the I/O module, secure field circuits first to avoid transient trips.
- Routine checks – Inspect terminals for looseness, clean dust with dry air, and verify labeling. Firmware updates apply to the controller/I/O module, not the passive base.
- Documentation – Match the TU model with the exact I/O module type; ABB module datasheets list the recommended terminal unit.
