Description
Product Description
The ABB CM10 is a 1/8 DIN universal PID process controller, part of ABB’s ControlMaster series, designed for precise regulation of temperature, pressure, flow, and level in industrial processes. The ABB CM10 features a 2.2-inch full-color TFT display with IP66/NEMA 4X front-panel protection, enabling clear monitoring and operation in harsh environments. It supports 2 analog inputs (thermocouple, RTD, 4-20 mA) and 2 outputs (1 analog, 1 relay), with flexible control modes including ON/OFF, time proportioning, and advanced PID with auto-tune. The ABB CM10 integrates Ethernet (MODBUS TCP, web server) and MODBUS RTU for seamless SCADA/HMI connectivity, while 8 math blocks and 2 custom linearizers handle complex process calculations. With 100-240 VAC power and -10 to 55°C operation, the ABB CM10 delivers reliable performance in demanding settings. It also offers 8 independent process alarms and real-time event triggering, making the ABB CM10 a versatile solution for batch and continuous process control. As a scalable hardware/software platform, the ABB CM10 adapts to evolving application needs, ensuring long-term value in industrial automation.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions
- Selection Suggestions:
- Choose the ABB CM10 for 1/8 DIN panel spaces requiring precise PID control with multi-protocol communication.
- Opt for the Ethernet option if remote monitoring/configuration via web server is needed.
- Select the ABB CM10 for applications needing math/linearization (e.g., tank level-to-volume conversion).
- Precautions:
- Confirm input/output compatibility with existing sensors/actuators before ordering.
- Follow ESD protocols when handling the ABB CM10 to protect internal electronics.
- Ensure proper panel sealing to maintain IP66/NEMA 4X protection during installation.
- Use ABB-approved accessories and firmware updates for warranty compliance.
