Process Automation Backplane Solution – ABB RF615 3BHT100010R1 | AC800M Series
Where This Product Is Used
The ABB RF615 (3BHT100010R1) Card Rack is a structural backplane module engineered for deployment within ABB’s AC800M Distributed Control System (DCS) architecture. It serves as the physical and electrical backbone that houses and interconnects I/O modules, communication interfaces, and processor units in mission-critical industrial environments.
Typical application sites include:
- Oil & Gas – Upstream wellhead control panels, midstream pipeline SCADA cabinets, and downstream refinery DCS marshalling racks
- Power Generation – Turbine control systems, boiler management units, and substation automation panels
- Pulp & Paper / Chemical – Continuous process control loops requiring high-density I/O card mounting
- Water & Wastewater – SCADA-integrated pump station control enclosures
- Pharmaceuticals – GMP-compliant batch control cabinets with validated DCS configurations

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the RF615 compatible with the AC800M S900 remote I/O system?
A: The RF615 is a local rack for the AC800M controller cabinet. For S900 remote I/O, ABB uses dedicated S900 carrier modules. Contact us to confirm the correct part for your topology.
Q: Can I mix AI810 and DI810 modules in the same RF615 rack?
A: Yes. The AC800M backplane supports mixed I/O module types within the same rack, subject to power budget and slot addressing rules defined in ABB’s AC800M Hardware Configuration manual.
Q: What is the lead time for this part?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock scenarios, typical lead time is 2–4 weeks. Contact us for real-time availability.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. Konmask.com offers a 90-day functional warranty on all parts. Extended warranty options are available — enquire at the time of order.
Q: Can you provide an IEC 62443 / cybersecurity compliance statement?
A: Hardware components such as the RF615 are passive backplane structures and do not contain firmware. Cybersecurity compliance is governed at the controller and network layer. We can provide ABB’s relevant security documentation upon request.
