6. Selection Recommendations
- Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with your ABB PLC (e.g., AC500, Freelance 2000).
- Environment: For outdoor use, pair with ABB’s protective enclosures (IP65-rated).
- Scalability: Opt for the NDBU-85C for mid-sized systems (≤1000 I/O points); upgrade to ABB’s high-density modules for larger setups.
7. Precautions
- Installation: Power off the system before wiring. Tighten terminals to 0.5–0.8 N·m.
- Voltage Check: Verify input voltage matches the module rating (24V DC).
- Maintenance: Clean dust quarterly using a dry cloth. Replace modules every 10 years (per ABB’s lifecycle guidelines).
