The ABB TINA 8A is a safety connection block designed to provide a centralized interface for up to eight safety devices in a dynamic safety communication loop (such as ABB Vital or Pluto safety systems). It serves as a connection node that allows multiple DYNlink‑compatible safety sensors (e.g., emergency stops, safety switches, light curtains) to be connected via M12 connectors. Each sensor’s signal can be wired independently to the block, simplifying cabling and improving installation flexibility in safety‑critical automation systems. The unit features a rugged enclosure with high protection rating suitable for harsh industrial environments and supports widely used safety controller platforms.
