ABB 07BR61R1 Procontic 07 series of distributed I/O couplers / communication processors

The 07BR61R1 (part number GJV3074376R1) is a decentralized I/O coupler / communication processor from the ABB Procontic 07 series, manufactured in Sweden. It connects distributed I/O modules to the host control system (PLC/DCS) via the CS31 bus. As a remote I/O master, it manages up to 64 digital and 16 analog channels, enabling centralized signal acquisition and control. It is widely used for building, expanding, and maintaining distributed architectures in legacy ABB systems (AC31, Advant OCS, 800xA). Now discontinued by ABB, available stock consists of new old stock, used, and refurbished units.
