Product Introduction

ABB 086318-002 is a PWA memory daughterboard that mounts on main CPU or control boards in ABB industrial automation systems. Expands volatile and non-volatile memory for larger programs and data retention during power loss.

Plugs into edge connector on host board, adds SRAM/EEPROM capacity for DCS or PLC applications. Field service swaps fix “memory full” faults without full CPU replacement. Weighs 0.2 kg; ESD sensitive—needs anti-static handling. Verify host board pinout before install.

Troubleshooting Quick Reference

Symptom Possible Cause Relevance to this Part Quick Check Method Recommendation
No memory retain after cycle Battery dead or socket corrosion ✅ High Measure 3.3 V on Vbat pin; reseat 3x Clean gold fingers with IPA; replace CR2032 if fitted
Boot loop on host CPU Address conflict or bad EPROM ✅ High POST codes halt at mem test; beep pattern Flashcheck EPROM ID via programmer; swap test board
Data corruption random Cosmic ray bit flip or heat >70°C ✅ Medium ECC errors in logs; temp probe >60°C Add heatsink if stacked; run ECC if supported
Host won’t detect expansion Pin 1-2 bent or oxide on contacts ✅ High Continuity edge connector <0.5 Ω pin-pin Microscope inspect; Deoxit D5 on fingers only
High power draw >500 mW Short on SRAM array or leaky cap ❌ Low Clamp probe on +5 V pins >100 mA Continuity test unpowered; replace host if pulls

Log boot sequence and photo socket before swap. Daughterboards fail from ESD 80%—handle by edges. Send host model to support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Fits which ABB main boards?
086318-002 mates with legacy ABB DCS/PLC CPUs—check silkscreen for 0863xx series. Exact host PN on sticker required.

Volatile or non-volatile memory?
Mix SRAM (battery RAM) + Flash/EEPROM. Retains 6 months typical on lithium cell. Program reloads from host if lost.

Hot-swap possible?
No—power off host first. Live insert shorts backplane. Ground strap mandatory; 1 kV ESD protection.

Weight and shipping specs?
0.2 kg gross; customs 85340019. Ships ESD bagged with foam. Fits small envelope—no hazmat.

❗ ESD killer mistake?
❗ Bare fingers on gold edge—static fries SRAM instantly. Seen techs carpet-walk and smoke three boards. Wrist strap or bust.

Condition and test method?
New Surplus: OEM overrun, full read/write cycle on all banks + battery hold test. No bit errors; socket continuity perfect. Reports ready.

Warranty, dispatch time?
1-year DOA. Stock levels good, ships post ESD burn-in. Same day if ordered by 2 PM.
