ABB EB8000 Control and Automation Board - CE Compliance

EB8000 provides a standardized 19 inch rack structure that aligns with IS2 enclosure modularity. This standardization reduces variation across projects and lowers parts carry costs, while improving interchangeability of control and automation boards in a single, reusable platform. Used in ABB automation systems, it supports efficient panel mounting, simplifies wiring routes, and enables quick swap of I/O modules without redesign. The approach also minimizes training needs for maintenance staff by applying familiar 19 inch rack concepts across installations. It arrives as a kit with a 482.6 mm mounting set and four mounting brackets to secure the rack to the enclosure framework. The options provided—cranked uprights, brackets, and crosspieces—support rapid assembly, precise alignment, and robust mounting even in vibration-prone environments. The kit can be delivered pre assembled or as a kit, offering flexibility for capital projects and retrofits alike. Engineers value this flexibility because it reduces procurement risk and accelerates change requests during commissioning. Constructed from pickled steel sheet, EB8000 balances durability with manageable weight. At 0.805 kg per package, it is easy to handle in the field and during warehouse shipments, yet delivers stiffness and resistance to corrosion in typical industrial settings. The material choice supports long service life under typical ABB installation conditions, while keeping total cost of ownership favorable. Designed for reference depths from 300 to 1000 mm and reference heights from 1400 to 2200 mm, the EB8000 scales with project needs while maintaining a fixed 800 mm reference width. This versatility, combined with its 19 inch rack mounting compatibility, makes it suitable for a wide range of IS2 Automation enclosures and control panels. The system also integrates with ETIM, eClass classifications, and IS2 enclosure cataloging, simplifying procurement and asset management. Documentation is provided via the IS2 Enclosures Technical Catalogue 2024 and the installation manual 1STM604121R0006, supporting compliant, safe commissioning. Certification and environmental information include a CE Declaration of Conformity, RoHS information, and REACH declarations to help you meet regulatory and sustainability targets. By standardizing mounting accessories, EB8000 reduces field errors, shortens training time, and improves serviceability during upgrades or expansions.
