ABB EHDB130 medium voltage motor contactor
CabinetsThe concept of the RTU560 with its module con cept and 19”set up,allows the use of different
housing arrangements.According to the place
restrictions and local (country specific) isolation
requirements the cubicles/cabinets can be de signed accordingly.
Swing frame solution
A swing frame set up gives a maximum of flexi bility for different process connections. Terminal
blocks on the back plane with or without discon necting possibilities,external marshalling cabinets
or cross wiring within the cubicles are just a few
to mention
Mounting plate solution
The back plane mounting of the RTU560 rack is
hard to beat in terms of reduced wiring costs.
Since the terminals are already integrated into the
rack no wiring from the modules to the terminals
is needed.
For both set ups, floor standing and wall mounted
cubicles as swing frame or back plane mounting
construction are available.
Benefits:
·Housing design according to isolation needs
and space restrictions
19" racks insures a high standardisation
.High flexibilities according to process
connection requirements
19" racks with integrated terminals reduce
wiring efforts

The modules conform to the standard European
format for insertion in a 19" rack.By utilizing surface-mounted devices and multi-layer circuit
boards,a high integration density is achieved on
the modules. These high-density printed circuit
boards result in compact terminals,thus providing
a highly functional capability.
The RTU560 hardware system includes all the
boards and modules needed for an RTU. The basic
boards are listed in this brochure in the Technical
Data chapter. Additional boards and modules can
be found in the hardware documentation.
The RTU560 can be supplied with an input voltage
between 24 and 220V DC or 110 … 230V AC via
an additional AC/DC converter.
The RTU560 is designed to run redundant power
supplies. The two power supplies are each designed for 100% of the
load.During normal operation,they share the load.Each module can be
plugged in or pulled out during operation.
The RTU560 is approved to be CE compliant and
checked to the EMC/EMI standards specified for
telecontrol units in IEC 60870-2-1.
Communication Modules
The RTU560 CMU boards are based on the PC 104
concept. A PC 104 main board contains the kernel
of a personal computer (PC) and has become standard recently.
It allows the easy integration of standard PC-based software as well as easy adaptation
to specific hardware extensions.
Following these standards secures your investment
and ensures the easy adaptation to subsequent
CMU generations by simply replacing the PC 104
main board with the current version.
