Product Technical Description

The 07BR61R1 is designed for versatility and durability. As a “Basic Unit,” it contains the CPU, memory, and local I/O needed to manage automated sequences without requiring constant supervision from a master PLC.

Key Technical Attributes:

  • CS31 Bus Integration: Features a dedicated interface for the CS31 system bus, allowing for easy expansion with additional remote I/O modules and high-speed data exchange.

  • Non-Volatile Memory: Utilizes internal RAM with battery backup or EEPROM to ensure that application programs and critical process data are preserved during power interruptions.

  • Real-Time Execution: Optimized for rapid cycle times, making it suitable for high-speed packaging, conveyor control, and simple machine automation.

  • Compact Footprint: The modular design allows for high-density installation in electrical cabinets, saving valuable space.


Country of Origin

  • Original Country: Germany (DE)

  • Manufacturer: ABB STOTZ-KONTAKT / ABB Industrial Automation


Common Questions & Answers (Q&A)

Q: Is the 07BR61R1 compatible with newer ABB AC500 systems? A: While the AC31 series (including the 07BR61R1) is a legacy product line, communication can often be established between AC31 and AC500 systems using the CS31 bus protocol. However, they use different programming software environments.

Q: How do I check the status of the internal battery? A: Most units feature a “BATT” LED indicator on the front panel. If this LED is lit or flashing red, it indicates that the lithium battery needs replacement to prevent the loss of RAM-resident data.

Q: Can this unit handle analog signals? A: The 07BR61R1 is primarily focused on digital logic. To process analog signals (0-10V or 4-20mA), you must connect additional analog expansion modules via the CS31 system bus.

Q: What is the maximum distance for the CS31 bus connection? A: The CS31 bus can typically reach up to 500 meters without repeaters, using standard shielded twisted-pair cabling, making it ideal for distributed factory floor applications.
