Description
ABB TC514V2 is an AF100 Twisted Pair to Optical Repeater / Media Modem
Model: TC514V2 | Part No: 3BSE013281R1
Product Title & Description
The ABB TC514V2 is an AF100 Twisted Pair to Optical Repeater / Media Modem, designed for ABB Advant OCS and 800xA DCS AF100 fieldbus network. It converts AF100 twisted-pair electrical signals to fiber optic signals, extending communication distance and providing galvanic isolation to protect against heavy EMI interference. Widely used in thermal power, pulp & paper, metallurgy and chemical plants for DCS fieldbus long-distance communication. It is a critical spare for legacy ABB AF100 network maintenance and upgrade.

Core Product Overview
TC514V2 is DIN rail mounted AF100 bus media converter. It bridges copper twisted pair AF100 bus and multi-mode optical fiber.
- Supports bus speed up to 1 Mbps
- Built-in optical transceiver, fiber ports for bus extension
- Galvanic isolation between copper and fiber side, eliminates ground loop noise
- Front panel LED indicators for power, bus status, optical link and fault diagnosis
- Can be used as point-to-point fiber repeater to separate control room and field cabinet segments
Lifecycle note: TC514V2 is discontinued. Only NOS or refurbished spare parts available for existing Advant / 800xA legacy systems.

Installation & Configuration Guide
7.1 Pre-installation Preparation
Verify unit, inspect LED indicators, copper bus terminals and fiber ports. Prepare 24VDC power, twisted pair cable, multi-mode fiber patch cord, terminator. Power off bus before installation.
7.2 Installation Steps
Clip onto 35mm DIN rail. Wire 24VDC supply. Connect twisted pair bus to copper side terminals, install bus terminator at the end of segment. Insert multi-mode fiber into optical ports. DIN rail must connect to protective PE earth.
7.3 System Configuration & Commissioning
Power up module and check power LED. Verify bus LED status and optical link LED. Check DCS controller communication over fiber link. Disconnect fiber to test link-fault alarm. Save network topology record.
7.4 Maintenance & Precautions
Periodically inspect fiber connector cleanliness and bus termination. Keep module and fiber ports clean, cap unused optical ports. If communication drops, check bus terminator, fiber attenuation and 24V power before replacing .
