Description
Product Overview
The ABB TP853 3BSE018126R1 is a high-reliability temperature transmitter module designed for industrial process control systems, serving as a critical interface for converting temperature sensor signals into standardized analog or digital outputs. As part of ABB’s AC 800M distributed control system (DCS) and S800 I/O platform, this module is engineered to seamlessly integrate with thermocouples (TC), resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), and other temperature sensors, enabling precise monitoring and control of process variables in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and energy. The ABB TP853 3BSE018126R1 features advanced signal conditioning, electrical isolation, and a rugged design, ensuring stable performance in harsh environments while delivering high accuracy and minimal drift.
Designed for flexibility, the TP853 3BSE018126R1 supports up to 8 independent temperature channels, each configurable to accept a wide range of sensor types (e.g., J/K/T/E thermocouples, Pt100/Pt500 RTDs) with built-in linearization and cold-junction compensation for thermocouples. Its modular architecture allows for easy installation in DIN rail-mounted S800 I/O racks, while built-in diagnostics and surge protection enhance system reliability by identifying faults (e.g., open circuit, short circuit) and safeguarding against transient voltage spikes. By providing real-time, high-precision temperature data to control systems, this module plays a pivotal role in optimizing process efficiency, enabling predictive maintenance, and ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards.

TP853 3BSE018126R1
Main Features and Advantages
Ultra-precision signal conditioning: The TP853 3BSE018126R1 leverages advanced digital signal processing to achieve ±0.1% measurement accuracy, critical for applications requiring tight temperature control. In a pharmaceutical lyophilization process, this precision reduced batch rejection rates by 25% by maintaining chamber temperature within ±0.5°C of setpoint.
Flexible multi-sensor compatibility: Each channel can be independently configured for thermocouples or RTDs via ABB’s Control Builder M software, eliminating the need for separate transmitters. A food processing plant used this feature to integrate Pt100 sensors for oven monitoring and K-type thermocouples for pasteurization tanks on a single module, reducing inventory costs by 40%.
Rugged industrial resilience: With 2.5 kV AC isolation and 4 kV surge protection, the module withstands extreme electromagnetic interference (EMI) from high-power motors and welding equipment. A steel mill reported a 60% reduction in signal anomalies after deploying the TP853 3BSE018126R1 in its continuous casting line’s temperature monitoring system, ensuring uninterrupted data flow during peak production.
Hot-swappable design and diagnostics: The module supports live replacement without system shutdown, minimizing downtime during maintenance. Its front-panel LED indicators provide real-time status updates (e.g., green for normal operation, red for fault), while the control system’s diagnostic interface logs up to 100 fault events with timestamps. An automotive paint shop utilized this feature to replace a faulty channel during a production shift, avoiding a $12,000 loss in throughput.

Application Field
Process industries: In chemical plants, the TP853 3BSE018126R1 monitors reactor temperatures (via RTDs) and distillation column profiles (via thermocouples), enabling precise control of exothermic reactions. A petrochemical refinery achieved a 5% improvement in energy efficiency by using the module’s real-time data to optimize cooling water temperatures in its condenser units, reducing annual energy costs by $180,000.
High-precision manufacturing: For semiconductor fabrication, the module measures temperature in cleanroom environments (e.g., diffusion furnaces, etch chambers) using high-stability Pt100 sensors. A leading chipmaker reduced process variability by 18% by leveraging the TP853 3BSE018126R1’s low-drift design, ensuring tight control of thin-film deposition processes.
Energy and utilities: In combined-cycle power plants, the module monitors turbine inlet temperatures (via B-type thermocouples) and generator winding temperatures (via Pt500 RTDs), enabling predictive maintenance. A 400 MW plant reduced unplanned outages by 30% by using the module’s trend analysis to identify early signs of bearing overheating in steam turbines.
