ABB 500BIM01 1MRB150024R00026 | Binary Input Module

Description

• Model & Brand: ABB 500BIM01
• ABB Part Number: 1MRB150024R00026
• Part Type: Binary Input Module / Digital Input Module
• Product Family: ABB 500 Series control hardware; the 500BIM01 is also documented as a binary input unit in ABB REC 580 documentation.
• Physical Dimensions: Verify the exact enclosure and mounting dimensions from the equipment drawing before cabinet planning. Public listings for different 500BIM01 revisions provide inconsistent dimensional data.
• Estimated Shipping Weight: Verify by actual packed-unit measurement. Do not substitute the weight of another 500BIM01 revision.
• What’s in the Box: 500BIM01 module only unless the purchase order specifically lists terminal blocks, mounting hardware, connectors, or documentation.
• Physical Inspection Points: Check the PCB, terminal connections, mounting hardware, identification label, and any plug-in connectors for oxidation or mechanical damage.

Product Introduction

The ABB 500BIM01 sits within the binary-input portion of ABB’s 500-series control architecture, where discrete field conditions must be transferred into the protection or control logic. In ABB REC 580 documentation, the 500BIM01 is specified as a 24-input optocoupler unit, with an input range of 18 to 312 V and configurable pickup characteristics.

This is an important distinction for spare management. The 500BIM01 is not simply a generic 24 V PLC input card; its documented input range and application context are considerably broader. ABB documentation specifies an operating time below 2.5 ms, with quiescent consumption of approximately 1 W under the stated configuration (high-voltage input loading changes the power requirement).

Core Technical Specifications

ABB 500BIM01 1MRB150024R00026

The 24-input, 18–312 V specification and power-consumption figures are supported by ABB REC 580 documentation reproduced in the available technical manual.

One identification issue should remain visible in the asset record: public listings also associate 500BIM01 with part number 1MRB150024R0002, while the requested unit is 1MRB150024R00026. Treat the final suffix as part of the controlled identity and verify the physical nameplate before substitution.

Global Compliance & Industry Certifications

Certification should be established from the exact ABB product documentation and installed system configuration.

• CE Mark: Verify the applicable ABB conformity documentation for the complete equipment.
• UL/cUL: Confirm whether the specific hardware revision and installation configuration carry the required North American certification.
• ATEX/IECEx: Do not assume hazardous-area certification from the 500BIM01 model number alone. The exact certified assembly must be identified.
• Marine Approvals: DNV or equivalent approval may apply to specific ABB equipment configurations, but it should not be attributed to this module without supporting documentation.
• IEC Compliance: The applicable protection/control equipment standards should be evaluated at the system level.

For audit purposes, retain the module nameplate, serial number, hardware revision, COO documentation, and applicable conformity records together.

Verify specific lot certifications with OEM.

Long-Term Storage & Asset Preservation Guide

1. Keep the 500BIM01 inside its original ESD shielding bag. The optocoupler input circuitry and connector contacts should not be exposed unnecessarily to static discharge or airborne contamination.
2. Maintain a dry, controlled warehouse environment. Relative humidity below 60% RH is a practical target for long-term electronic storage; avoid condensation when moving the module between storage and the control room.
3. Protect the terminal interface from mechanical stress. Do not stack heavy cartons directly on top of the module, and retain the original packaging around the PCB and connectors. Record the date code and hardware revision before putting the unit into controlled spare inventory.

Physical Installation Prerequisites

• Verify the host ABB system and exact 500BIM01 revision before installation.
• Confirm the module’s mechanical mounting arrangement and terminal assignment against the applicable ABB drawing.
• Do not assume that every 500BIM01 suffix has identical wiring or connector assignments.
• Maintain adequate cabinet airflow around the assembly. Where the cabinet drawing gives no alternative requirement, 50 mm above and below the installed assembly is a reasonable planning allowance; the OEM drawing takes precedence.
• Establish protective grounding and equipotential bonding according to the host equipment requirements.
• Confirm field-input voltage before connecting wiring. The documented 500BIM01 input range extends considerably beyond conventional 24 VDC-only PLC inputs.
• Use an ESD wrist strap during handling.
• Inspect terminal screws, connector pins, and retaining hardware before energization.

Buyer’s FAQ

Q: What HS tariff code should be used for the 500BIM01?

The HS classification depends on the confirmed function and destination-country tariff schedule. Because this unit is a binary-input module used within protection/control equipment, the customs broker should classify it from the actual technical description rather than from the ABB model number alone.

Q: Does the Country of Origin need to be verified separately?

Yes. The COO should be supported by the actual supplier documentation for 1MRB150024R00026. Do not infer origin from the seller’s warehouse location or from another ABB 500-series module.

Q: Should this module be insured during international shipment?

For a legacy protection/control spare, cargo insurance is appropriate when the replacement value warrants it. Photograph the module, nameplate, ESD packaging, carton, and final sealed package before dispatch so any freight damage can be documented.

Q: Does the 500BIM01 include the latest firmware?

Do not assume that it does. The 500BIM01 is principally a binary input hardware unit, and compatibility depends on the host ABB equipment, hardware revision, wiring configuration, and applicable system documentation. Verify the complete part number and revision before installation.

Asset-control recommendation: Record 500BIM01 / 1MRB150024R00026 as a revision-controlled ABB spare. The 500BIM01 designation appears with multiple 1MRB part-number variants in public records, so the complete suffix, nameplate data, input configuration, COO, certification evidence, and actual shipping weight should remain attached to the inventory record.
