ABB ES1800MF4K Control and Automation Board - IP55

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ES1800MF4K ships as a pre-assembled cabinet configured with compartments, allowing teams to pre-route cables and allocate spaces for power, control, and communication hardware. This modular approach reduces enclosure footprint surprises on site and speeds up integration with existing automation architectures. For system integrators, it translates into shorter project cycles and more predictable commissioning timelines for process plants and manufacturing lines. IP55 protection and robust standards are built-in. The enclosure complies with IEC 60529/IP55 and aligns with IEC 62208, IEC 61439-1-2, and NEMA 1, 3R, 12, ensuring safe operation in dusty or damp environments. This helps address harsh factory conditions and minimizes risk of equipment damage during routine maintenance and cleaning. Material and finish matter in long-term reliability. Made from sheet steel with orange peel surface finishing in RAL 7035, the cabinet offers good corrosion resistance, easier cleaning, and consistent appearance across installations. The oxide-free coating reduces paint chipping and simplifies warranty claims in regulated environments. Dimensioning and weight are optimized for ease of handling and compatibility. The net dimensions (1010 mm width, 1911.5 mm height, 1040 mm depth) match common rack spacing while preserving space for cable trays, terminal blocks, and DIN-rail equipment. With a net weight around 115 kg, transportation and installation remain manageable for two-person crews with standard lifting gear. Compliance and documentation add value. RoHS information, REACH declaration, WEEE status, and CE declaration streamline procurement and regulatory audits. The included references to IS2 Enclosures Technical Catalogue 2024, ETIM EC000261, and data sheets help avoid supplier deltas and simplify technical review for procurement teams. Installation and serviceability. The unit is pre-assembled for quick drop-in installation, supported by installation manuals (1STM604121R0006) and a clear door design (single). This reduces sequencing risk and improves uptime, while providing straightforward access for maintenance and future upgrades.
