Products Description
ABB 3BSE017429R1 NMTU-21C RTD Temperature Input Unit
ABB NMTU-21C, part number 3BSE017429R1, is a dedicated RTD temperature input unit for ABB AC500 PLC and S800 I/O system. It is designed to connect with Pt100, Pt1000 and other thermal resistance sensors, converting resistance signals into digital temperature data and transmitting readings to the AC500 controller via the S800 internal bus.

This module delivers high-precision temperature measurement with built-in signal filtering and channel diagnostics. It adopts standard DIN rail mounting and supports side-bus cascading with other S800 I/O modules. It is widely supplied as spare replacement parts for factory automation, energy and chemical plant control cabinet maintenance and system upgrade projects.
