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.

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.

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).
