Product Introduction

ABB 1KHL178025R0102P COM02 is a communication interface board for ABB DCS backplanes, handling serial protocols between controllers and field devices or HMIs. Mounts as daughter card or slot module in AC31/800xA racks.

Supports Modbus master/slave plus ABB native for remote I/O drops. Field installs link PLCs to SCADA over RS-485 up to 1200 m. Powers from backplane—no external supply. Set baud/DIP before bus scan; verify termination for Profibus.

Troubleshooting Quick Reference

Symptom Possible Cause Relevance to this Part Quick Check Method Recommendation
No TX/RX LEDs on serial Backplane +5 V dropout or fuse ✅ High Measure 5 VDC at power pins; continuity to host Reseat connector; check host slot power <2 W total 
Modbus timeout from master Baud/parity mismatch or echo ✅ High HyperTerminal loopback pins 2-3; 9600 8N1 std Match slave settings; disable echo in config
Profibus FDL errors rack-wide Terminator missing or stub >3 m ✅ Medium 220 Ω across A/B lines at ends; segment scope Add active terminator; max 32 drops per segment
Data garble on RS422 Common mode >7 V or shield ground loop ✅ High Voltmeter A-B idle >0.2 V; ground differential Single-end shield; isolator if >500 m run
Host no module detect Address conflict DIP or EEPROM corrupt ❌ Low Readback ID register via bus tool Clear EEPROM via programmer; document DIP photo 

Capture protocol analyzer trace before reset. Comms boards fail from spikes 75%—add surge protection. Photo LEDs/DIP for support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Protocols supported—Modbus RTU only?
No, Modbus RTU/ASCII plus ABB CS31, Profibus DP-V0 slave. Config via DIP or COM200 software. Max 247 addresses.

Max cable distance per port?
RS485: 1200 m at 9600 bps. Profibus: 100 m/12 Mbps segment. Use repeaters beyond; twist shielded pairs.

Hot-plug into live backplane?
No—arcs damage traces. Power down rack, insert, verify latch. ESD strap required.

Power draw from host slot?
<2 W typical at 5 VDC. Leaves headroom in 5-slot racks. No external PSU needed.

❗ Common config error?
❗ Echo enabled on half-duplex RS485—collides TX/RX. Disable via switch 3 OFF. Lost half-shift chasing ghosts.

Condition and test details?
New Surplus: OEM stock, full Modbus loop + Profibus scan test on bench rack. All ports verified; no bent pins. Reports available.

Warranty, stock status?
1-year comms failure. In stock, ships post protocol burn-in. Same-day dispatch.
