Description
ABB TC515V2 (3BSE013284R1) – Field I/O Carrier/Module Component for ABB 800xA / S800 I/O Environments
The ABB TC515V2, part number 3BSE013284R1, is commonly used as a carrier/termination component within ABB’s S800 I/O and 800xA-based control systems. In many cases it serves as the connective layer between field wiring and the system I/O/module backplane, helping keep cabinet layouts tidy and maintenance-friendly. From my experience, sites choose the TC-series carriers when they want consistent wiring practices across cabinets and a straightforward swap process during turnarounds.

Key Features
- Designed for ABB 800xA / S800 I/O ecosystems: Typically used as a carrier/termination component in ABB cabinets for consistent wiring and orderly channel routing.
- Hardware revision V2: The “V2” hardware version is valued for stable field performance and alignment with newer cabinet standards in many plants.
- DIN-rail friendly layout: Supports compact cabinet builds; you might notice faster installation and neater service loops.
- Serviceable design: From what maintenance teams report, the labeled connections and straightforward module access save time during troubleshooting.
- Backplane integration: Works with the ABB backplane/ModuleBus concept so I/O modules and carriers can be organized in a predictable way.
- Typical 24 V DC environment: Suited to the common 24 V DC control cabinet ecosystem used in process and factory automation.
Technical Specifications
| Brand / Model | ABB TC515V2 – 3BSE013284R1 |
| HS Code | 8537.10 (typically declared for programmable control panels/modules; final classification depends on local customs) |
| Power Requirements | 24 V DC control cabinet environment; powered via system backplane/carrier in most installations |
| Dimensions & Weight | Compact DIN-rail form factor; module-width profile typically used in ABB S800 I/O cabinets |
| Operating Temperature | 0 to +55 °C in most standard control cabinets (non-condensing) |
| Signal Input/Output Types | Works as part of the process I/O chain; the actual signal types depend on the paired S800 I/O modules (AI, AO, DI, DO, etc.) |
| Communication Interfaces | Integrates to ABB ModuleBus/backplane architecture typical of 800xA/S800 I/O systems |
| Installation Method | DIN-rail cabinet mounting; paired with ABB I/O and carriers per system layout |
Related or Supporting Products
- ABB TC513V2 (3BSE013282R1) – Similar carrier/termination family; often selected for alternate channel counts or wiring styles.
- ABB TC514V2 (3BSE013283R1) – Companion model in the same series; used where cabinet routing or field connections differ.
- ABB TU810/TU812 series – S800 I/O terminal units; provide field termination for specific analog/digital I/O modules.
- ABB CI854A (3BSE025961R1) – PROFIBUS DP interface for AC 800M if you’re expanding fieldbus segments.
- ABB PM864/PM866 controllers – Main CPUs used in 800xA; the TC515V2 typically sits downstream in the I/O subsystem.
One thing I appreciate is how the TC5xx carriers keep the wiring convention predictable across cabinets. A maintenance lead told us they shaved hours off a shutdown by standardizing on the V2 hardware and matching terminal layouts from line to line.
Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet standards: Install on a bonded DIN rail within a clean, dry control cabinet. Maintain separation between signal and power wiring to limit noise.
- Ventilation: Ensure airflow around the modules. In most cases, a 40–55 °C enclosure rating needs modest forced ventilation.
- Wiring practices: Use ferruled conductors and label both field and system-side terminations. Keep shield drains consistent with plant grounding policy.
- Safety: Isolate 24 V DC and lock out before handling. Verify no stored energy on the backplane. ESD protection is recommended when swapping hardware.
- Routine checks: Inspect terminal tightness quarterly, clean dust with dry air, and visually confirm status indicators. Firmware dependency is minimal on carriers, but verify system firmware for connected I/O modules during outages.
- Spares strategy: Keep at least one TC515V2 on the shelf per panel type; it appears that response time improves when carriers/terminals are treated as quick-swap spares.
Quality & Certifications
- CE compliant and RoHS aligned in most markets
- Typically UL/CSA recognized for control cabinets (check your site’s required file numbers)
- Manufacturer warranty practices apply; our supply warranty coverage is 365 days
If you can share your exact cabinet layout or the I/O modules this TC515V2 will pair with, I can double-check compatibility and suggest the closest matching carriers from the same family.
