ABB REX010 Control Module

The ABB REX010, also cataloged as the REX010 Control Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for industrial process control execution and real-time data processing within ABB automation platforms.

Hardware Specifications

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and Firmware Flash Compatibility

• Backplane Bus Velocity: Executes real-time data transfers over system backplane buses, providing high-speed communication between the control processor and adjacent I/O modules.
• I/O Density Scaling: Manages multiple process control channels in a 210 x 130 x 60 mm enclosure, optimizing space allocation in DIN rail or panel-mount enclosures.
• Firmware Flash Compatibility: Supports flash updating of system firmware and configuration retention during power cycles to ensure operational continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the physical mounting options available for the REX010 control module?

A: The REX010 module supports both standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting and direct panel mounting options.

Q: What power input voltage is required to operate the REX010?

A: The REX010 requires a nominal 24 VDC auxiliary power supply.

Q: What environmental temperature range is supported during active operation?

A: The device is rated to operate continuously across ambient temperatures from -20 to +60 deg C.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Secure the module onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail or panel surface using appropriate mounting hardware, ensuring adequate clearance around the unit for thermal dissipation across the -20 to +60 deg C operating range.
• Connect the 24 VDC auxiliary power supply cables ensuring correct wire polarity and proper terminal block seating.
• Route incoming signal and communication cables separately from high-voltage power conduits to minimize electromagnetic interference.
• Ensure the main cabinet frame and module chassis are properly bonded to protective earth (PE) before applying system power.
