Product Short Description
Product Introduction
The ABB VBS01 is a high‑reliability vertical column mount termination base designed for ABB Symphony Plus SD Series I/O systems. It serves as a critical interface component that provides mechanical mounting, electrical connection, and power distribution for single I/O modules. The VBS01‑EPD variant features external field power input for field devices and system‑powered analog output (AO) channels. This termination base integrates 2×8 signal terminals and requires 2×16‑pin 5mm pluggable connectors for secure wiring. It is engineered to support a wide range of I/O modules, including analog input (AI), analog output (AO), digital input (DI), digital output (DO), pulse input (PI), and advanced diagnostic (AD) modules. Built with industrial‑grade materials, it ensures stable operation in demanding process control environments and facilitates easy installation, maintenance, and system expansion.
