ABB 560PSU02 (1KGT011900R0001) – Industrial Rack Power Supply for ABB Control Systems

The ABB 560PSU02 is a robust power supply module designed for ABB rack-based control systems, where steady backplane power is mission-critical. From my experience, it’s the kind of module plants keep as a frontline spare because it typically delivers clean, regulated power to controllers and I/O without fuss. You might notice that it’s often paired in redundant configurations to keep production running even if one feed is lost.

• Rack-mounted power module – Slides into the ABB 560-series style rack, supplying regulated backplane power to controllers and I/O.

• Redundancy-friendly – In many cases, two units can be used in parallel for power redundancy, minimizing single points of failure.

• Stable, low-noise output – Designed for control cabinets where voltage ripple and noise need to be tightly controlled.

• Status indication – Front-panel LEDs typically provide quick visual health checks for operators and maintenance staff.

• Serviceable in place – Plug-in form factor simplifies swap-outs during planned shutdowns; seems to be favored by maintenance teams for fast turnaround.

• Compatible with ABB installed base – Suits brownfield upgrades and spare-part strategies across many ABB DCS/PLC cabinets.

I usually see the 560PSU02 supporting ABB DCS/PLC nodes in continuous-process industries: power generation, oil & gas, chemical and petrochemical, pulp & paper, metals, as well as water and wastewater. It tends to fit nicely in brownfield cabinets where space, wiring routes, and uptime constraints limit options. One plant electrician told me they chose it because it “dropped straight into the existing rack and just worked,” which is exactly what you want from a power module.

• Reliability in harsh cabinets – Built for industrial environments with electrical noise and temperature swings.

• Lifecycle-friendly – A smart spare to keep on the shelf; reduces downtime during unplanned events.

• Compatibility – Works within ABB 560-style racks, avoiding complex rewiring or custom adapters in most cases.

• Cost control – Redundant pairing and quick swap reduce production loss and maintenance labor over time.

• Support readiness – Documentation and field practice are widely available, which makes troubleshooting straightforward.

• Cabinet environment: keep within the system’s specified temperature/humidity; allow airflow around the module. I typically suggest 50 mm clearance for convection.

• Wiring: use correctly sized DC feeders with separate protection (MCB/fuse) and proper grounding to PE. Keep power lines segregated from low-level signal wiring.

• Redundancy: if using dual supplies, feed each from independent DC sources where possible, and verify diode OR-ing or built-in sharing per ABB guidance.

• Commissioning: check polarity, verify backplane voltage, and confirm front LED status before bringing the controller online.

• Routine maintenance: quarterly visual inspection, dust removal with dry air, connector re-seating during planned outages, and periodic load/current logging.

• Spare strategy: keep at least one qualified spare in climate-controlled storage; label with firmware/label revision if applicable (some variants differ by rev).

• 
  

• CE compliant; RoHS applicable for most ABB electronic modules in this class

• Manufactured within ISO 9001 quality systems

• Manufacturer’s warranty: typically 12 months; extended service coverage available via ABB service agreements

Note: Specifications can vary slightly by rack and revision. If you share your cabinet type and supply voltage, I can double-check compatibility for your exact setup.
