ABB PGM22 Rack PGM 22 H&B Contronic

ABB PGM22 Rack PGM 22 H&B Contronic

Basic information

Manufacturer and series: Manufactured by ABB in co-operation with Hartmann & Braun, it belongs to the H&B Contronic series, which is known for its high quality and reliability in the field of industrial automation.

Product number and designation: Product number PGM22, the ‘Rack’ in the designation indicates that it is a rack structure, which is mainly used for mounting and fixing various types of electronic equipment modules to create a physical structure for the control system.

Physical Characteristics

Size and weight: Its dimensions are approximately 12.0 inches × 7.0 inches × 20.0 inches, i.e., 30.5 cm × 17.8 cm × 50.8 cm, and it weighs approximately 8 pounds, i.e., 3.6 kg. Its compact and lightweight design allows for greater flexibility in installation and layout.

Performance Features

Module Installation and Expansion: Adopting standardised module mounting methods, such as 19-inch mounting rails, facilitates the installation and removal of standard industrial control modules, such as power supply modules, controller modules, I/O modules, etc., which is conducive to system maintenance and upgrading. At the same time, the internal space layout is reasonable, reserved for additional installation positions and interfaces, with good expandability, can meet the future development of the system to add module requirements.

Electrical Performance Guarantee: Equipped with an efficient backplane bus system, it provides high-speed and stable data transmission channels between modules, ensures accurate signal transmission, and realises system co-operation. Its power distribution network can reasonably distribute power according to the power demand of different modules, and has the functions of overload protection and short-circuit protection to ensure the safe operation of the equipment. In addition, the electromagnetic compatibility is fully considered in the electrical design, and electromagnetic shielding measures such as the metal casing and other reasonable wiring, grounding, and other designs are used to ensure the stable operation of the equipment in the complex electromagnetic environment.

Mechanical and environmental adaptability: the frame adopts sturdy materials and reasonable structural design, high mechanical strength and stability, can withstand a certain weight of equipment loading and in the external vibration, collision and effective protection of internal equipment. And can adapt to a wide range of temperatures, generally - 20 ℃ to 60 ℃, but also has a certain degree of dust, moisture, corrosion resistance, can be normal operation in harsh industrial environments, to extend the service life of the equipment.

Application Fields

Industrial automation production line: in automobile manufacturing, machining, electronic manufacturing and other industrial automation production line, as a key component of the control centre, installing a variety of automation control equipment, to build a complete production line automation control system.

Process control system: in the chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical and other process control fields, can be installed temperature, pressure, flow and other process parameters of the measurement and control module, to achieve accurate control and monitoring of the production process, to protect the production of safe, stable and efficient.

Industrial Data Acquisition and Monitoring System: It is suitable for industrial data acquisition and monitoring system, and can be installed with data acquisition equipment, monitoring server and communication equipment, etc., to realise real-time status monitoring and fault warning of industrial equipment, and improve the safety and reliability of industrial production.
