ABB 07CR42 The compact and scalable independent central unit of the Advant Controller 31 (AC31) system

The 07CR42 is a compact, expandable standalone central unit (integrated CPU+I/O) for the ABB Advant Controller 31 (AC31) system, manufactured in France/Sweden. It serves as a small standalone controller or local node in AC31 distributed architectures. Integrating power supply, CPU, fixed I/O, and an RS-232 port, it supports up to 6 I/O expansion modules for applications with 14–110 I/O points. Widely used for new builds, expansions, and replacements in legacy AC31/800xA/Advant OCS systems; now discontinued by ABB, available as new old stock, used, or refurbished units。

    Maintenance

  • Isolate power before wiring; separate high/low-voltage cables

  • Periodically clean dust and tighten terminals

  • Keep environment dry/ventilated, away from VFDs/high-power motors

  • Troubleshoot: power → I/O wiring → communication → expansion modules; do not open casing
