Description
ABB HIEE300308R1 – Plug‑in Control Board for ABB DCS Racks (reliable spare for lifecycle support)
The ABB HIEE300308R1 is a rack-mounted control board used in ABB distributed control systems, typically within the Advant/Master generation. It serves as a direct backplane module—no external power or field wiring on the faceplate—making it a practical, drop‑in spare when uptime matters. From my experience, plants keep this board on the shelf to shorten mean time to repair during planned turnarounds or an unexpected trip. You might notice that it’s purpose-built for cabinet environments and standardized ABB backplanes, which keeps installation straightforward and repeatable.
Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees
- Warranty: 365 days
- Lead time: 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
- Payment terms: 50% advance payment; full payment before delivery
- Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL
Key Features
- Backplane‑powered design – Draws power from the ABB rack, so there’s no separate power wiring on the front panel.
- Plug‑in replacement – Typically installs into the existing slot with standard extraction handles; minimal cabinet work.
- Stable operation in control cabinets – Designed for typical DCS ambient conditions and airflow patterns.
- Proprietary ABB bus compatibility – Works on ABB backplane buses used by Advant/Master‑series racks in many cases.
- Service‑friendly – Fast swap reduces downtime; routine checks are limited to visual inspection and connector health.
- Lifecycle support – Useful for keeping legacy loops running while migration plans are evaluated.
- Traceable part identity – Clear ABB part number (HIEE300308R1) simplifies spares management and documentation.
Technical Specifications
| Brand / Model | ABB HIEE300308R1 |
| HS Code | 8538.90 (Parts suitable for apparatus of heading 8537) |
| Power Requirements | Backplane powered; typical 5 VDC logic rail (and auxiliary rails as provided by the rack). No external supply connection on the front panel. |
| Operating Temperature | 0…55°C (typical control cabinet conditions) |
| Signal I/O Types | Backplane data and power; field signals are typically routed via system terminal units or companion I/O cards (no direct field terminals on the board faceplate). |
| Communication Interfaces | Proprietary ABB rack backplane (commonly used in Advant/Master‑series systems) |
| Installation Method | Plug‑in module; slides into card guides and locks into the system backplane. Intended for enclosed control cabinets. |
| Form Factor | Rack card (Eurocard‑style); board‑level module with front handle and status labeling |
Related or Supporting Products
- ABB rack backplanes and power supplies – Required for operation; ensure the rack provides the correct 5 VDC (and auxiliary) rails and slot addressing.
- ABB terminal units / I/O carriers – If this board works with field I/O, terminal units handle wiring and channel marshalling for the cabinet.
- Migration companions (not drop‑in) – For modernization paths, many sites move toward AC 800M and S800 I/O families (e.g., CI854A PROFIBUS interface, AI810 analog input, TB820 module bus adapter). These are system migration options rather than direct substitutes.
- Spare kit pairing – Keeping a matching backplane slot connector and extraction handle kit on hand typically speeds service work.
A maintenance lead at a chemical plant summed it up well: “We swapped the HIEE board during a night shift, powered up, and the controller picked up right away—no re‑wiring. That alone saved us hours.”
Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet environment – Install in a clean, dry control cabinet. Maintain cabinet temperature typically between 0…55°C with adequate ventilation; avoid hot spots near power supplies.
- Rack standards – Use the correct ABB rack/backplane with compatible slot addressing and keying. Power down the rack segment per site procedures before insertion/removal unless your system explicitly supports hot‑swap for this slot.
- Wiring – No field wiring on the board faceplate; verify backplane connector integrity and ensure no bent pins or debris in the card guides.
- ESD safety – Handle with grounded wrist straps and ESD‑safe packaging. Seat the board evenly to avoid connector stress.
- Routine care – Quarterly visual inspection for dust, oxidation on contacts, or loosened front hardware. Clean gently with dry air; do not use solvents.
- Firmware/configuration – If applicable in your system, align firmware/config baselines with the running controller. Keep a validated image for rapid rollback.
- Calibration – Not typically required for backplane logic boards; if your application involves any analog processing, follow the plant’s calibration SOPs.
Quality & Certifications
- CE conformity for industrial control equipment (typical for ABB DCS modules)
- RoHS compliance where applicable to the manufacturing lot
- Manufacturer quality system: ISO 9001
- Warranty: 12 months from shipment (365 days)
If you’re confirming fit, the quickest checks are: installed system family, rack/backplane code, and the slot function this board serves. Share those details and we’ll help validate compatibility before you order—saves back‑and‑forth and keeps your turnaround tight.
