Key Technical Specifications

The -AB suffix in the order code defines the exact hardware and firmware build. Verify each line below against the label on your existing unit and the ABB order code documentation for your specific variant.

Product Introduction

The ABB REC670 is the bay control IED in the Relion 670 series. It manages one substation bay — breaker control, disconnector control, interlocking, synchrocheck, and local/remote switching — and presents that bay to the station control system over IEC 61850. The 1MRK002814-AB order code defines the specific hardware and firmware build, so the I/O count, communication options, and HMI type on your unit depend on that suffix.

Two engineering facts drive the replacement decision. First, the application configuration lives in the IED, not in the station computer. If you swap the hardware without restoring the configuration, the bay will not control. Second, the firmware revision must match your PCM600 version and your station’s IEC 61850 system configuration. A newer IED firmware with an older station configuration tool will not accept the SCD file.

Application Scenarios & Field Experience

Part 1 – Narrative Paragraph

The failure mode that hurts on a bay controller is not a dead IED — it is a partial failure. The bay still controls, but the interlocking logic stops evaluating one condition, or the synchrocheck takes longer to issue a close permit. Operators see it as “the breaker is slow” and the maintenance crew blames the mechanism. I have seen a crew overhaul a breaker mechanism twice before anyone checked the IED event log. When you replace a REC670, pull the event log and the disturbance record from the old unit first. That data tells you whether the IED failed or whether it was reporting a real problem elsewhere in the bay.

Part 2 – Numbered List (Application Scenarios)

1. Transmission Substations – Line Bay Control – The REC670 manages breaker and disconnector control for a line bay, including synchrocheck before closing and interlocking against ground switches. It reports bay status to the station HMI over IEC 61850.
2. Distribution Substations – Transformer Bay Control – Controls the HV and LV breakers on a power transformer bay, coordinates tap changer control, and blocks closing if protection has tripped.
3. Wind Farms – Collector Circuit Bay Control – Manages the feeder breakers that collect power from turbine strings. The IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging trips the bay on turbine fault signals without hard wiring.
4. Industrial Plants – Main Incoming Bay Control – Controls the plant’s main incoming breaker and tie breaker with interlocking against the utility’s protection scheme. Used where the plant operates its own switching station.

Part 3 – Short Field Story

A utility substation had a REC670 on a 115kV line bay that would not issue a close command from the station HMI. Local close from the front panel worked. The crew suspected the communication link and replaced the fiber patch cord twice. The event log in the IED showed that the remote close command was arriving, but the interlocking logic was blocking it on a ground switch status input that was stuck in the “closed” state. The ground switch auxiliary contact was the problem, not the IED. The REC670 was doing exactly what it was configured to do.

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Quality Control

Every IED passes this QC sequence:

• Visual & Origin Inspection – We verify the ABB marking, the 1MRK002814-AB order code, the serial number, and the date code. We inspect the rear connectors, fiber ports, and the front HMI panel for cracks or dead pixels. Any unit with a damaged HMI or bent connector pins is rejected.
• Configuration Extraction – If the unit is a refurbished model with an existing configuration, we extract and archive it. If it is new surplus, we record the factory default firmware revision. We do not ship a used IED without documenting its configuration state.
• Power-Up & Self-Test – The IED is powered from a bench supply at rated voltage. We verify the self-test completes without a “Fail” indication and that the HMI boots to the default display. We record the firmware revision string.
• Binary I/O Verification – We inject rated voltage into each binary input and confirm the IED reports the correct state. We command each binary output and verify contact closure with a continuity meter.
• Analog Input Verification – We inject calibrated currents and voltages into the CT and VT inputs and verify the IED’s measured values against the reference. Accuracy must stay within ±0.5% for current and ±0.5% for voltage.
• Communication Port Test – We connect to the front port with PCM600 and verify the IED is recognized. We test each rear Ethernet port with a loopback and confirm link status and packet throughput.
• ESD-Safe Packaging – The IED is wrapped in anti-static film, placed in a fitted foam insert with the rear connectors protected, and packed in a reinforced carton with “Precision Electronic Equipment” labels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I replace a different variant with this 1MRK002814-AB unit?

A: Not without checking the order code. The -AB suffix defines the hardware build — I/O count, communication port types, power supply voltage, and HMI configuration. A different suffix may have different binary I/O counts or different fiber port types. Compare the full order code and the label on your existing unit before ordering.

Q2: Will my existing configuration load into this IED?

A: Only if the firmware revision matches or is compatible. The configuration is tied to the IED’s firmware version. If the replacement has a newer firmware revision, you may need to update your PCM600 project and re-validate the configuration. Pull your old IED’s configuration file before you remove it — that file is your recovery path.

Q3: What is the warranty on this IED?

A: We offer a 12-month warranty from the ship date. It covers hardware failure — HMI failure, communication port failure, binary I/O failure, and power supply failure under normal operating conditions. It does not cover damage from incorrect power supply voltage, ESD damage from handling without a wrist strap, or physical damage to the connectors or HMI. We test every unit on a bench before it ships.

Q4: Do you have this exact order code in stock?

A: Relion 670 inventory moves and varies by order code. Confirm availability before you plan an outage. If we do not have the exact -AB variant, we will tell you what we do have and whether a different suffix would work for your application. Do not assume any will drop in — the suffix matters.

Q5: Any installation pitfalls I should watch for?

A: Four. First, back up the configuration and event log from the old IED before you remove it. Second, verify the power supply voltage on the label matches your station battery — connecting 250V DC to a 110V DC unit will destroy the power board. Third, the fiber optic ports have a minimum bend radius — do not route the patch cords around sharp corners. Fourth, after the swap, verify the IEC 61850 communication with the station HMI before you return the bay to service. A bay controller that boots but does not communicate is still an outage.
