Features:
- Serves as the mechanical mounting foundation for ABB Freelance 2000 I/O and communication modules
- Integrates 10 module slots with internal backplane bus connectivity for distributed signal routing
- Accommodates redundant link module installations for continuous communication availability
The ABB DRA 02 Rack with 10 module slots operates as the standard chassis enclosure in ABB Freelance 2000 distributed control systems, providing a rigid metal frame that houses up to 10 I/O, communication, and power modules. It ensures proper mechanical alignment and electrical interconnection through its integrated backplane bus, distributing communication signals and auxiliary power to all installed modules.
The ABB DRA 02 Rack with 10 module slots provides essential structural support and backplane connectivity common to the entire I/O station, and is a critical component of the module installation path, directly affecting the proper alignment and normal operation of all Freelance modules within the system. One ABB DRA 02 rack is required per I/O station, with modules installed across the 10 available slots according to system configuration requirements.
For redundant communication applications, the Freelance 2000 system utilizes the ABB DRA 02 Rack with 10 module slots to house a second DLM02 link module in the designated redundant position. In addition to standard single-link operation, this redundant configuration performs automatic switchover through the DLM02 modules. The ABB DRA 02 backplane supports this failover by providing internal bus continuity, allowing the redundant communication system to continually monitor the health of both link modules.
The DRA 02 ABB Rack with 10 module slots may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
