Description
ABB 216DB61 (HESG324063R100-H) – Drive Control/Protection Interface Board for Medium‑Voltage Converter Stacks
The ABB 216DB61, labeled HESG324063R100‑H, is a plug‑in interface/control board used inside ABB medium‑voltage (MV) converter bays. From my experience, maintenance teams reach for this board when a stack position starts logging intermittent gating or interlock faults and they want a like‑for‑like swap that restores clean operation without touching cabinet wiring. You might notice it’s designed for backplane integration and coordinates trigger, status, and protection feedback—handy in noisy MV environments.

Key Features
- Backplane‑integrated control board – Distributes trigger references and collects protection/feedback signals within ABB MV drive racks.
- Robust signaling in high‑EMC bays – Layout and isolation practices help maintain stability around high dI/dt power stacks.
- Like‑for‑like serviceability – Drop‑in mechanical fit; field wiring and bay topology typically remain untouched.
- Front‑edge indicators – Status LEDs and accessible test points speed up outage checks and first power‑up.
- Revision “‑H” build – Hardware variant alignment that, in many cases, keeps behavior consistent across installed bases.
Technical Specifications

| Operating Temperature | 0…55 °C cabinet ambient (typical for drive electronics) |
| Signal Input/Output Types | Backplane analog/digital feedback, interlocks, and trigger references; optical links may be used depending on bay design |
| Communication Interfaces | Proprietary ABB rack/backplane interface; no user Ethernet/serial on the board body |
| Installation Method | Plug‑in card with edge/backplane connector and front retention hardware; service access from the front |
Application Fields
Typically found in ABB MV converters and variable‑speed drives where reliable gating and protection coordination are essential:
- ABB MV platforms (commonly ACS1000 / ACS5000 / ACS6000)
- Metals, mining, cement, and chemical plants running 3–6.6 kV motors
- Stack refurbishments and lifecycle extensions during planned outages
- Spares strategies to maintain N‑1 coverage on critical production lines
Advantages & Value
- Reliability: A fresh 216DB61 typically tightens protection timing and clears intermittent trigger/interlock faults.
- Compatibility: Like‑for‑like fit with ABB backplanes—no field rewiring in most cases.
- Downtime: Faster service restoration than a full bay upgrade; reduces the need for requalification.
- Support: We can power‑up test, verify LED indicators, and share a brief status report before shipment.
“Replaced the 216DB61 (HESG324063R100‑H) during a planned stop. Backplane comms came up clean, interlocks aligned, and the inverter ramped smoothly on first start.” — MV drive technician, minerals processing line
Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet environment: Clean, dry, well‑ventilated MV cubicle; keep ambient within the drive’s rating.
- Handling: Use ESD protection; avoid flexing the PCB; inspect edge connectors and standoffs before insertion.
- Connections: Seat the board fully on the backplane; if optical links are present, confirm Tx/Rx orientation and clean ferrules.
- Safety: LOTO MV sections; allow the DC link to fully discharge; verify 24 VDC polarity and grounding prior to enabling.
- Routine care: Quarterly dust removal, connector reseat checks, and a quick indicator/health review under load.
Quality & Certifications
- Quality system: Manufactured under ISO 9001 processes (typical for ABB drive electronics).
- Compliance: Intended for use inside CE/UL‑listed converter systems; RoHS status may vary by production year.
- Warranty: 365‑day warranty from shipment date.
If you share the drive platform, bay/slot position, and current revision notes, we’ll confirm interchangeability for 216DB61 (HESG324063R100‑H) and provide a concise functional test record before dispatch.
