Description
Product Overview
1TGE120021R6111 is ABB upgraded redundant MLink communication gateway upgrade kit for MNS iS low-voltage motor control and distribution system. It serves as the direct replacement part for 1TGE120021R6011, used to upgrade older HW-1 generation MLink hardware to HW-3 version. This redundant gateway bridges MNS iS cabinet control network to upper-level DCS/SCADA, supporting PROFINET, Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU (RS232) multi-protocol data exchange for low voltage motor management, breaker status, protection alarms and measurement values.

Key Features
- HW1 to HW3 Hardware Upgrade Kit: Complete spare set to upgrade legacy first-generation MLink hardware to enhanced HW3 platform, improves processing performance and communication stability.
- Redundant Gateway Pair Design: Dual MLink hot-standby configuration, bumpless automatic switchover upon primary unit failure, guaranteeing uninterrupted data communication between MCC and plant control system.
- Multi-protocol Conversion: Realizes protocol translation between MNS iS internal bus and standard industrial Ethernet / serial protocols for DCS integration.
- Full MCC Data Collection: Collects motor running current, voltage, power, breaker on/off status, thermal overload and protection fault alarms from MNS iS motor control units.
- Built-in Diagnostics: Continuous monitoring of gateway health, network link status and remote device communication faults; alarm information sent to upper HMI.
- Pre-tested Upgrade Package: Kit includes hardware modules, connection cables and required accessories for field retrofit, reducing site engineering work.
Applications
- Power plant low voltage MCC motor control system (MNS iS)
- Petrochemical and refinery low voltage motor management cabinets
- Water treatment, pulp & paper industrial motor control centres
- Metallurgy and large manufacturing plant LV distribution automation
- Combined-cycle power station auxiliary motor supervision
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- Install the redundant MLink pair in dedicated slots of MNS iS MCC cabinet.
- Configure PROFINET / Modbus parameters via ABB MNS iS engineering software after hardware replacement.
- Verify redundant switchover function during commissioning test.
- Keep Ethernet and serial communication cables separated from high-power LV wiring for EMI reduction.
- Periodically check gateway LED indicators, network link and fault logs in routine maintenance.
- Backup existing MNS iS configuration before executing hardware upgrade.
FAQ
