The TPS02 is a turbine protection I/O module used within the ABB Symphony Plus HR Series turbine automation portfolio. The module is designed to support turbine protection functions with triple redundant architecture and high-speed processing capability.
The module operates independently of controllers and provides overspeed protection using a 2-out-of-3 voting configuration. Its architecture supports critical turbine shutdown and protection applications where high system availability and fault tolerance are required.
The TPS02 module includes multiple relay outputs for protection functions and supports fast response operation with cycle times below 12 msec. It is intended for integration within turbine control and protection systems used in power generation and industrial rotating machinery environments.
The TPS02 is compatible with ABB Symphony Plus HR Series turbine automation systems for steam turbine and gas turbine applications.
