ABB PGM35 Rack PGM 35 H&B Contronic

Overview of the PGM35 Rack

The ABB PGM35 Rack PGM 35 H&B Contronic is a rack for industrial automation and control equipment manufactured by ABB in co-operation with Hartmann & Braun.

Basic information

Product number and type: The product number is PGM 35, the ‘Rack’ in the name indicates its basic properties as a rack, which is mainly used for mounting and fixing various electronic modules, providing the physical load-bearing and electrical connection basis for the entire control system.

Series: It belongs to H&B Contronic series, which has a wide range of applications and good reputation in the field of industrial automation, and its products are usually known for their high quality, high performance and high reliability. As a member of PGM35 Rack, it inherits a lot of the advantages of the series, and it has good compatibility and synergy with other devices of the same series.

Performance features

Installation structure and flexibility

Module mounting: Standardised module mounting methods, such as 19-inch mounting rails, are adopted to facilitate the installation of various industrial control modules complying with the standard, including power supply modules, controller modules, I/O modules, etc., and the modules are easy to install and remove, which is conducive to the maintenance and upgrading of the system.

Optimisation of space layout: The internal space layout is carefully designed to reasonably divide different areas to accommodate different types and sizes of equipment installation, making full use of space while ensuring proper spacing between equipment for heat dissipation and wiring.

Expandability design: good expandability, reserved for additional installation locations and interfaces to meet the needs of the continuous development and change of industrial automation systems, to facilitate the user in the future according to the need to add new equipment modules, without having to replace the entire rack.

Electrical performance and connection reliability

Backplane bus system: Equipped with an efficient backplane bus system, it provides a high-speed and stable data transmission channel between the modules installed on the rack, ensuring accurate signal transmission between the modules and realising system co-operation.

Power Distribution Network: It is responsible for providing a stable power supply for all the installed equipment. Through the centralised power input interface and internal reasonable power distribution network, the power is distributed according to the power demand of different modules, and it is equipped with overload protection, short circuit protection, etc., to ensure the safe operation of the equipment.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): In the electrical design, full consideration of electromagnetic compatibility, the use of metal shells and other measures to play the role of electromagnetic shielding, while the internal wiring and circuit design to follow the principles of EMC, such as the use of shielded wires, reasonable grounding, etc., to ensure that the equipment in the complex industrial electromagnetic environment for stable operation.

Mechanical and environmental adaptability

Mechanical strength and stability: the use of solid materials and reasonable structural design, with high mechanical strength and stability, can withstand a certain weight of equipment loading without deformation, in the event of external vibration, collision, etc., to effectively protect the internal equipment from damage.

Environmental resistance: able to adapt to various harsh conditions in the industrial environment, a wide range of operating temperatures, generally between - 20 ℃ and 60 ℃, and has a certain degree of dust-proof, moisture-proof, corrosion-resistant ability, can be in the dust, high humidity or the existence of chemical corrosion of substances in the normal operation of industrial environments, to extend the service life of the equipment.

Application Fields

Industrial automation production line control: in all kinds of industrial automation production lines, such as automobile manufacturing, machining, electronic manufacturing, etc., as an important part 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, for the installation of temperature, pressure, flow and other process parameters of the measurement and control module, to achieve accurate control and monitoring of the production process, to ensure production safety, stability and efficiency.

Industrial Data Acquisition and Monitoring System: In the industrial data acquisition and monitoring system, data acquisition equipment, monitoring servers and communication equipment can be installed to realise real-time status monitoring and fault warning of industrial equipment to improve the safety and reliability of industrial production.
