Description
ABB HESG324430R11B
- Technical Specifications (typical DI version):
- Input Voltage Grades: 24 V DC / 48 V DC / 110 V DC / 220 V DC (check label — module is voltage-grade specific)
- Channels: 16 (grouped 8+8) or 32 (2 groups × 16)
- Input Type: Voltage-sensing (for wet contacts) or dry-contact (external wetting voltage provided)
- Threshold (24 V ver): ON ≥11 V DC, OFF ≤5 V DC
- Response Time: <10 ms (configurable filter 0–63 ms in some FW)
- Isolation: Group-to-backplane 500 V DC; channel-to-channel common 0 V per group
- Power: From backplane (5 V logic + sense voltage if self-wetting)
- Indicators: Module Run / Error LED; per-group status LED on some versions
- Operating Temp.: –20 °C to +70 °C
- Mounting: Plug-in to REG216 / Advant S100 rack slot
- Functional Features:
- Debounce filtering per channel group
- Reports contact state to REG216 controller for interlocking (e.g., “Field Breaker Closed” before excitation build-up)
- Compatible with ABB excitation HES (Harmony Excitation System) and REG-D series
- Application Scenarios:
- Excitation cubicle — monitor field breaker auxiliary contact, de-excitation contactor, 86-lockout relay contact
- Generator protection panel — status feedback to controller (trip coil healthy, DC supply OK)
- Retrofit of legacy ABB REG103/REG216 cubicles
- Material & Structure / Working Principle / Installation / Precautions:
- Insert into designated slot of REG216 / S100 rack; ensure key matches voltage grade
- Wire field contacts between input terminal and common (0 V or +V depending on sinking/sourcing)
- For 110 V DC / 220 V DC versions: verify correct module label before wiring — applying 220 V to 24 V module destroys it
- In REG216 configuration software verify channel mapping and filter time
- Precaution: When used in safety-related excitation interlock (e.g., “Field Breaker Open” permissive), verify wiring and logic during commissioning — incorrect DI mapping can bypass protection interlock
