The -60 kV / 100 μA values above come from ABB’s RB1000i-S equipment documentation and describe the associated high-voltage painting application; they should not be interpreted as a standalone HVC-02B output rating. ABB specifically states that the RB1000i-S requires a dedicated high-voltage controller and lists HVC-02B/HVC-02C as compatible controllers.
Public reseller data also contains conflicting claims for HVC-02B input voltage, communication interfaces, IP rating, and I/O count. Those values should not be used for replacement engineering without the controller nameplate, electrical drawing, and ABB system documentation.
Product Introduction
The ABB 3HNA024966-001 is a high-voltage controller used in ABB robotic painting and coating equipment. Its role is tied to the electrostatic high-voltage portion of the painting process rather than general PLC logic or conventional robot motion control. ABB documentation for the RB1000i-S identifies /HVC-02C as the dedicated high-voltage controller options.
For maintenance teams, the important point is system matching. A physically similar controller should not be treated as a direct substitute unless the ABB robot configuration, IPS software version, atomizer configuration, and high-voltage solution are compatible.

Application Scenarios & Field Pitfalls — Engineer’s Perspective
Engineering Pain Point
A failed can stop an electrostatic painting cell even when the robot controller, motion axes, and paint delivery equipment remain operational. The difficult part is often not identifying a replacement board; it is confirming that the replacement controller matches the installed atomizer and high-voltage architecture.
Typical Applications
- Automotive painting: Electrostatic coating processes where controlled high voltage assists paint transfer to vehicle surfaces.
- Industrial coating: Robotic spray applications requiring controlled electrostatic charging.
- ABB painting robots: Used as part of ABB’s dedicated high-voltage painting equipment.
- RB1000i-S systems: ABB specifically documents /HVC-02C as compatible high-voltage controller options.
Technical Pitfalls to Avoid
- Do not treat as an AC500 PLC module. Several reseller pages misclassify the part. The stronger evidence identifies it with ABB robotic painting high-voltage equipment, and ABB’s own documentation names as a high-voltage controller.
- Do not substitute HVC-02C solely because the part appears similar. The replacement path needs to be checked against the installed IPS software, robot configuration, atomizer configuration, and high-voltage solution. Available technical data identifies specific ACK boards for certain F1515 high-voltage controller solutions.
- Do not use generic voltage specifications from reseller listings. Published values for ‘s supply and interfaces conflict significantly. For a live replacement, the machine electrical drawing and the actual nameplate should take precedence.
- Verify the complete part number. is associated with 3HNA024966-001, while some listings show extended forms such as 3HNA024966-001/03 or 3HNA024966-00103. Match the physical identification and installed configuration before purchasing.

Procurement Note
For an replacement, provide the supplier with / 3HNA024966-001, the complete suffix shown on the existing unit, the ABB robot/controller model, installed IPS software version, and the high-voltage/atomizer configuration.
A clean-looking is not enough for acceptance. For a used or surplus unit, confirm the connector condition, enclosure condition, configuration identification, and whether the unit can be tested with the actual high-voltage system before returning the painting cell to production.
