System Compatibility
The 1MRK000157-VBr00 is designed for integration within ABB’s protection and control relay ecosystem. Confirm compatibility with the following before ordering:
- Parent System / Relay Platform: Verify the host relay or protection IED model accepts the VBr00 hardware revision.
- Firmware Version: Ensure the installed firmware on the host system supports this module revision.
- Slot / Rack Position: Confirm physical slot assignment and backplane bus pinout match.
- Communication Protocol: Validate IEC 61850, LON, or proprietary ABB bus compatibility as applicable.
- Power Supply Rating: Check auxiliary voltage input requirements match your panel supply.
Konmask can provide pre-shipment compatibility verification upon request — include your host system model number when enquiring.
