Product Short Description

Product Introduction

The ABB CMA135 is a dedicated, industrial-grade control module designed for automatic start, stop, monitoring, and protection of diesel engines in stationary and mobile applications. It is purpose-built for integration with ABB’s Synpol D control systems and serves as a reliable interface for engine-driven equipment such as generators, pumps, compressors, and heavy machinery. The module executes intelligent start-stop logic based on real-time operational parameters, reduces unnecessary engine idling, optimizes fuel efficiency, and lowers emissions. It integrates robust engine protection, comprehensive diagnostics, and standard industrial communication interfaces, enabling seamless integration into distributed control systems (DCS), SCADA platforms, and plant automation networks.
