ABB Temperature Transmitter / Measurement

The ABB temperature transmitters are high-precision devices available in multiple configurations and supporting advanced functions like sensor redundancy, self-monitoring, and diagnostics. These robust devices are IP66/67 rated, compatible with standard outputs, and support universal input from RTDs (Pt100), Thermocouples, resistance, and mV sources.

At PLCS & Automation, we carry an extensive inventory of ABB temperature transmitters in various designs and configurations for easy compatibility with a range of industrial applications.

Product Features and Capabilities

By opting for the ABB temperature transmitters, you get the following:

• Universal Sensor Support: Compatible with signals from RTDs, thermocouples (TC), resistance sensors (Ω), and millivolt (mV) sensors.

• High Accuracy and Stability: Offers precise measurement without drift, along with long-term stability.

• Sensor Redundancy: Dual inputs available for backup sensors, along with average/differential temperature calculations that increase the reliability of the device.

• Advanced Diagnostics: Includes wire-break/corrosion monitoring (NE 89) and extended diagnostics (NE 107) that support predictive maintenance for less downtime.

• Integrated Safety: Offers explosion protection and carries the necessary approvals for installation in hazardous areas (ATEX, IECEx, FM/CSA) for safe operation.

• Robust Housing: Rated for IP66/67 protection, head mount, field mount, and rail-mounted versions, built for harsh operating conditions, are available.

• Integrated Communication: Supports the most popular industrial communication protocols like HART, PROFIBUS PA, and FOUNDATION Fieldbus.

• Easy, Non-Invasive Configuration: Supports local and integrated HMI connections and non-invasive installation that enables measurement outside of pipes.

ABB Temperature Transmitters and Associated Products

At PLCS and Automation, we carry the following ABB temperature transmitters:

• Field-mount temperature transmitters: Robust, self-contained devices that can be installed in the field, away from control rooms, converting signals from thermocouples or RTDs.

• Rail-mount temperature transmitters: Compact devices that allow easy installation in control cabinets of industrial control systems.

• Head-mount temperature transmitters: Highly compact devices installed inside a sensor’s head for converting weak signals into standardized output and reducing the need for wiring, noise, and expensive copper extension cables.

Applications and Industries

The ABB temperature transmitters are used in the following industries:

• Oil and Gas: Accurate temperature measurement of storage tanks, offshore platforms, cryogenic storage (liquid CO2, N2, O2), and other process equipment.
• Chemical and Petrochemical: Monitoring vessel temperature for corrosive processes, reactor vessels, and ensuring precise temperature for product yield and energy efficiency.
• Power and Energy: Measuring the temperature levels in boilers, turbines, and other machinery.
• Food and Beverage: Ensuring accurate process temperature and hygienic processes for quality control.
• Pharmaceuticals: Sensitive temperature monitoring for product integrity.
• Cement: Kiln and preheater temperature control (up to 1800°C) for quality and energy management.
• Water and Wastewater: Monitoring the temperature of cooling water and various process stages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to Configure an Abb Temperature Transmitter?

The configuration for ABB temperature transmitters can be done using ABB tools such as the Field Information Manager (FIM), DAT200 (Asset Vision Basic) via DTM, or any standard HART handheld terminal via EDD.

What Does the “Sil 2 / Sil 3” Classification Mean for Abb Temperature Transmitters?

The ABB temperature transmitters comply with IEC 61508 for functional safety. Thus, they can be used in safety-related applications and set up using redundant configurations.

What is Sensor Drift Monitoring, and Which Abb Model Offers It?

Sensor drift monitoring is a diagnostic feature that compares two sensors (e.g., dual Pt100) and triggers an alert if the measurement difference exceeds a configured threshold, indicating one sensor is degrading. This is available on the TTH300/TTF300 models, but not the TTH200.

How Should I Troubleshoot a “No Signal” or “Stuck” Reading in Abb Temperature Transmitters?

First, the technician needs to verify the power supply (2-wire loop needs 11–42 V DC, depending on explosion protection). Then, the wiring needs to be checked for polarity reversal or corrosion. In case the HMI shows a constant, non-changing value, test the sensor directly by measuring resistance (RTD) or millivolts (TC).
