Description
ABB 560SFR02 R0001 | 1KGT022200R0001
Product Overview
The ABB 560SFR02 R0001 is a 19-inch swing-frame rack designed for the ABB RTU560 remote terminal unit platform. Its job is structural and system-level rather than computational: it provides the physical slots, backplane connections, process-interface arrangement, and power-supply positions required to assemble an RTU560 station. The rack contains 20 module positions in total and is designed to accommodate I/O boards, communication units, and power-supply hardware according to the selected RTU560 architecture. When redundant power is installed, the second power-supply position is reserved for that function, leaving the remaining positions for system modules.
For control-system engineers, the important point is that ABB 560SFR02 R0001 should not be treated as a standalone controller. It has no application CPU, PLC logic, or process measurement function by itself. Its value comes from providing the rack infrastructure around RTU560 communication and I/O hardware. The rack interfaces to other RTU560 racks through the serial peripheral bus, and ABB/Hitachi Energy documentation specifies that up to seven 560SFR02 racks can be connected to an I/O bus segment. With the appropriate 560BCU05 bus connection unit, the rack can also support a communication-unit configuration containing up to eight 560CMR01 or 560CMR02 units.
The ABB 560SFR02 R0001 has a 19-inch, 3U mechanical format based on DIN 41494 dimensions. The published rack dimensions are 132.8 mm high, 482.6 mm wide, and 210 mm deep before accounting for installed boards and connectors. With boards installed, the depth increases to approximately 232 mm, and with connectors it can reach approximately 280 mm. Environmental specifications include a nominal operating range of -25°C to +70°C, startup capability at -40°C, and a stated maximum operating temperature of +85°C for a limited 96-hour period.
In an existing RTU560 installation, this rack can be particularly important during a hardware replacement project because compatibility depends on the complete rack architecture, not merely the external dimensions. The installed I/O modules, communication units, power supplies, bus connection unit, process connectors, and RTU configuration must all be checked. A replacement rack that looks mechanically identical is not automatically sufficient if the original installation uses a particular BCU arrangement or connector configuration.
Product Introduction
A failed or damaged RTU rack can stop an otherwise healthy remote terminal installation from accepting replacement modules. The 560SFR02 R0001 addresses that infrastructure layer by providing the 19-inch swing-frame platform used to assemble I/O and communication configurations.
For a legacy replacement project, the critical identification is 1KGT022200R0001, not simply the family name 560SFR02. The published ordering information associates this material number directly with the 560SFR02 R0001 rack.

Major Features / Practical Advantages
1. rack architecture
The 560SFR02 is designed specifically around the modular architecture. It can be configured as an I/O rack, a communication rack, or a mixed rack containing both communication units and I/O modules. This makes the rack more than a simple mechanical enclosure; its backplane and bus arrangement are part of the system architecture.

2. Two power-supply positions
The rack can accommodate redundant power-supply arrangements. documentation identifies power supplies such as the 560PSU01 and 560PSU02 for use with the 560SFR02. When the second PSU is installed, the corresponding rack position is reserved for that purpose.
This matters during procurement. Do not assume that every one of the 20 positions is available for arbitrary I/O or communication modules. The actual usable slot count depends on the power-supply configuration and rack architecture.
3. Flexible I/O and communication configuration
The 560SFR02 can accept I/O boards, communication units, or a combination of both. The product catalog specifies up to 18 positions for these functions under the appropriate configuration.
That flexibility makes it suitable for RTU panels where process I/O and communication interfaces have to coexist in the same rack rather than being separated into independent assemblies.
4. serial peripheral bus interface
The rack connects to the serial peripheral bus through its rack infrastructure. The published datasheet identifies two RJ45 connections for the SPB interface. Up to seven 560SFR02 racks can be connected to an I/O bus segment according to system documentation.
This is one of the most important compatibility points when replacing a rack. A mechanically compatible 19-inch enclosure from another RTU family is not a substitute for the 560SFR02 backplane and bus architecture.
5. Communication-unit expansion with 560BCU05
Adding the appropriate 560BCU05 bus connection unit changes the configuration possibilities of the 560SFR02. The RTU500 catalog states that the rack can support up to eight 560CMR01 or 560CMR02 communication units in the relevant communication-rack configuration.
For brownfield systems, the installed BCU should therefore be recorded before ordering a replacement rack. A rack-only purchase does not necessarily reproduce the complete original assembly.
6. Standard 19-inch mechanical integration
The 482.6 mm width corresponds to the standard 19-inch rack format, while the 132.8 mm height corresponds to the published 3U configuration. The rack uses a 20.32 mm slot pitch based on DIN 41494.
This simplifies physical integration into established RTU, substation automation, and control cabinets, but cabinet depth must still be checked because installed boards and connectors increase the rack depth substantially.
7. Process-side connector arrangement
The 560SFR02 uses an 18-pole process-signal connector arrangement and a 48-pole Type F DIN 41612 peripheral-board connection. The published documentation also identifies dedicated process connector housings and associated snap-in contacts.
During field replacement, connector condition is worth checking. A rack may be electrically serviceable while damaged connector hardware creates intermittent process-side faults.
8. Environmental operating range
The specified nominal operating temperature is -25°C to +70°C, with startup capability at -40°C. The documentation also states a maximum operating temperature of +85°C for 96 hours. Relative humidity is specified at 5–95% non-condensing.
These figures describe the rack’s published environmental envelope; they should not automatically be interpreted as the allowable limits of every module installed inside it. The installed I/O and communication cards must be checked separately.

FAQ
Is the ABB 560SFR02 a PLC or RTU CPU?
No. The 560SFR02 is a rack/subrack assembly. It provides the physical and electrical infrastructure for I/O, communication units, and power supplies. The CPU/communication processing function comes from an installed communication unit such as a compatible CMU.
How many modules can the 560SFR02 hold?
The mechanical rack has 20 slots. Configuration restrictions apply because power-supply positions consume rack positions. Documentation specifies up to 18 positions for I/O boards, communication units, or a mixture, depending on the selected power arrangement.
Can I install two power supplies in the 560SFR02?
Yes. The rack is designed for optional redundant power supply. The second power supply occupies its designated position, and the rack provides monitoring connections for redundant power-supply status.
Is 1KGT022200R0001 the same product as 560SFR02 ?
Yes. The published ordering information identifies 560SFR02 with ABB material number 1KGT022200R0001.
Can I hot-swap the 560SFR02?
Do not treat the rack itself as a hot-swappable module. Hot replacement procedures depend on the complete architecture, installed modules, power arrangement, and site maintenance procedure. The published rack documentation does not establish an unrestricted hot-swap procedure for the complete rack.
Does the 560SFR02 support firmware v3.1?
The rack itself does not carry the application firmware function. Firmware compatibility must be checked against the installed communication unit and the project’s configuration/software environment. A statement that the rack itself supports a particular firmware revision would therefore be misleading.
Can a 560SFR02 replace any 19-inch RTU rack?
No. The 560SFR02 is tied to the rack architecture, including its backplane, peripheral-board connection, process connector arrangement, and serial peripheral bus. Mechanical 19-inch compatibility alone is not enough. Verify the existing I/O modules, CMUs, BCU, PSU type, connector hardware, and system configuration before approving a replacement.
What should be checked when buying a replacement 560SFR02?
For a brownfield replacement, verify at minimum:
- Exact ordering code: 560SFR02 / 1KGT022200R0001.
- Rack revision and nameplate: confirm the physical marking against the project documentation.
- Bus connection unit: identify whether 560BCU05 is installed.
- Power supply arrangement: single or redundant, and exact PSU model.
- Installed CMUs and I/O cards: document every occupied slot.
- Process connectors: inspect connector housings and contacts for damage or corrosion.
- Mechanical depth: allow for installed boards and rear connectors.
- Configuration records: confirm the rack and module arrangement in the RTU engineering documentation.
- Condition: for used or surplus equipment, inspect the backplane, connectors, mounting hardware, and evidence of storage damage.
Procurement Note
The ABB 560SFR02 / 1KGT022200R0001 is a system-infrastructure component, so procurement should be handled differently from buying an ordinary standalone I/O card. The exact material number is important, but the surrounding configuration matters just as much.
For a plant replacement, compare the nameplate, rack revision, installed BCU, PSU configuration, module positions, connector hardware, and original RTU documentation before accepting a substitute. The published ABB/Hitachi Energy documentation confirms the rack’s intended architecture, but it does not justify treating every visually similar 19-inch rack as interchangeable.
For new surplus or previously installed stock, request clear photographs of the front, rear backplane, part-number label, connectors, and mounting hardware. The rack contains no application program that can be validated through a simple power-on test, so physical inspection and configuration matching are more important than a generic “tested” claim.
