ABB REF615 Data Processor for Enhanced Industrial Automation

The ABB REF615 Data Processor serves as a critical component in modern industrial automation systems, particularly for applications requiring high-speed data processing and reliable connectivity. Originally designed for power grid protection and control systems, this module has proven its value across manufacturing, energy management, and infrastructure monitoring environments where precision timing and real-time data analysis are essential.

Technical Specifications

Field technicians often deploy this processor in medium-voltage substation automation systems, where it excels at handling complex protection algorithms and communication tasks simultaneously. One notable application involved integrating the REF615 into a smart grid monitoring system that required precise fault detection and real-time data logging. Our inventory includes compatible ABB modules like the DSQC series, PM866 controllers, and PP865A communication interfaces for seamless system upgrades.

What sets this processor apart is its dual-watchdog circuitry that prevents data loss during power fluctuations – a feature we’ve seen save critical process data during unexpected outages. The 30 kHz output frequency allows for ultra-fast response times in motor protection applications, while the modular design supports hot-swapping of peripheral cards without system shutdown. Certified for operation in -25°C to +70°C environments, it maintains reliability even in harsh industrial conditions.
