ABB YPK117A-61163280 – Industrial control module for DCS cabinet upgrades and spares

The ABB YPK117A-61163280 is commonly supplied as a plug-in control/IO interface module for ABB process control cabinets. In many cases it’s ordered as a like-for-like replacement to keep legacy DCS nodes running without rewiring or software changes. From my experience, plants choose this part because it’s a straightforward, form/fit/function swap—fast to install and easy to validate during a short outage. You might notice that most units in this family are designed around 24 VDC cabinet power and a backplane connection, which keeps wiring neat and maintenance predictable.

Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty: 365 days
• Lead time: typically 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment: 50% advance; full payment prior to delivery
• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• Form/fit/function replacement – Typically drops into existing ABB control cabinets with no mechanical modification.
• Backplane interfacing – Designed for cabinet backplane/bus connectivity, reducing point-to-point wiring inside the rack.
• 24 VDC cabinet power – In most cases powered from standard 24 VDC control supply for easy integration.
• Service-friendly design – Plug-in construction supports quick swap during maintenance windows; minimizes downtime.
• Industrial temperature tolerance – Suitable for standard control room environments; typically specified for 0–55°C operations.
• Traceable sourcing – Supplied with verifiable part codes for MRO and audit requirements.

Technical Specifications

The values below reflect typical parameters for ABB cabinet-mounted control/IO modules in this series. For exact figures by revision, please match against your installed base part tag and datasheet.

Related or Supporting Products

• ABB CP-E 24/2.5 Power Supply – 24 VDC DIN-rail supply, widely used in control cabinets; stable feed for IO and logic modules.
• ABB CP-E 24/5.0 Power Supply – Higher current headroom if the cabinet is densely populated or later expanded.
• ABB TU8xx Series Terminal Bases (e.g., TU810, TU812) – Common terminal bases in ABB cabinets; check compatibility with your rack type.
• Shielded twisted-pair field wiring (industrial grade) – Reduces noise pickup for analog and fast digital channels.

Note: Model-to-model compatibility should be confirmed against your cabinet type and controller generation. A quick photo of the installed rack label usually speeds this up.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet standards – Install in a clean, dry control cabinet with adequate ventilation; maintain 50–70 mm free space around heat sources.
• Wiring – Use shielded cable for analog signals; maintain proper grounding and segregate power and signal routing to limit EMI.
• Handling safety – ESD precautions are essential; de-energize cabinet power unless the rack explicitly supports hot-swap.
• Commissioning – After insertion, verify module status indicators and backplane comms; run I/O loop checks where applicable.
• Routine maintenance – Dust the cabinet periodically, inspect terminals for looseness, and log firmware/hardware revisions for traceability. Replace suspect modules proactively if intermittent faults appear.

One thing I appreciate is how quickly these cards can be swapped. A refinery customer mentioned they replaced a failed unit during a shift change, did a quick loop test, and had the line back up in under 30 minutes.

Quality & Certifications

• Certifications: CE and RoHS compliance are typical for ABB control modules; manufacturing under ISO 9001 quality systems.
• Warranty: 365-day warranty coverage on supplied unit.
