ABB 500BOM01 (Order Code: 1MRB150023R0002) – Control/Interface Board for ABB Industrial Drives

The ABB 500BOM01, supplied under order code 1MRB150023R0002, is a board-level control/interface module used inside ABB drive cabinets. From my experience, it’s typically deployed as a like-for-like spare when a drive starts to show intermittent trips, unstable I/O behavior, or comms hiccups caused by aging electronics. One thing I appreciate is the service-friendly layout—keyed connectors and clear mounting points make swap-outs predictable, so maintenance teams can keep the outage window tight.

Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty period: 365 days
• Delivery time: 1 week for in-stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment method: 50% advance payment; full payment for delivery
• Express delivery methods: FedEx / UPS / DHL
• Compatibility check: Share a photo of the drive nameplate and the board label; it usually locks the correct match on the first try.

Key Features

• Drop-in control board – Designed as a plug-in replacement, minimizing wiring disturbance and parameter changes.
• Stable drive regulation – Helps maintain I/O integrity and internal control paths; in many cases it cures drift and random trips seen on aged boards.
• Backplane connectivity – Interfaces directly with the drive’s internal connectors for power, control, and I/O handoff.
• Service-friendly mechanics – Keyed plugs and accessible standoffs support quick changeouts during short planned stops.
• Compatibility-first approach – Intended for ABB industrial drive families; exact fit depends on drive frame and revision, which we can verify quickly.
• Lifecycle extension – A practical way to extend asset life without moving to a full cabinet retrofit.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

Deployed across ABB AC/DC drive systems in continuous and heavy-duty processes—metals processing, paper & converting, mining conveyors, oil & gas pumping, cranes/hoists, and general process automation. A common scenario is a legacy line where one failing board can halt an entire section. Replacing 500BOM01 brings the original cabinet back online without changing PLC logic or motor wiring, which is usually the fastest path to recovery.

Advantages & Value for Procurement

• Reliability – Restores stable control and I/O behavior, cutting nuisance trips and unplanned stops.
• Compatibility – Intended for ABB drive families; we verify part label and host drive type/revision before shipment.
• Cost savings – Board-level maintenance is typically far cheaper than cabinet replacement or a full retrofit.
• Short downtime – Drop-in mechanics reduce installation time and commissioning risk.
• Technical support – Help with parameter backups and firmware alignment so the changeover goes smoothly.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet environment – Clean, dry, ventilated enclosure; keep ambient 0…55 °C and avoid condensation or conductive dust.
• Power isolation – Lockout/tagout the drive, wait for DC bus discharge, and confirm zero energy before handling.
• ESD controls – Use a wrist strap and handle by board edges; avoid touching component pins.
• Connections – Fully seat backplane/edge connectors; confirm PE bonding and cable strain relief.
• Firmware & parameters – Back up parameters before removal; after installation, restore parameters and check firmware compatibility if applicable.
• Functional test – Verify DI/DO logic, interlocks, and a controlled speed ramp; monitor alarms and temperatures during trial run.
• Routine care – Annual dust cleaning and connector inspection; review event logs and update drive firmware when recommended by ABB.

Quality & Certifications

• CE marking applicable at the complete drive level; this board is used within the certified system.
• UL recognition typically applies to the drive assembly.
• RoHS-compliant components in most cases for ABB electronic spares.
• Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems at the OEM level.
• Warranty: 12 months (365 days) against functional defects under normal operation.
