ABB REF542plus 1VCR007346
Multifunction Protection and Switchbay Control Unit
ABB REF542plus(1VCR007346) is an upgraded version of the REF542 multifunctional protection and switchgear bay control unit. In a programmable environment, the device provides functions such as protection, measurement, control, monitoring, and power quality analysis, and is suitable for medium-voltage (MV) switchgear bay applications.The unit features a modular architecture and task-separated processors, supports configuration and integration into substation automation systems, and is a certified product compliant with the ABB IndustrialIT architecture.
Function & Features:

- Task Separation: The ABB REF542plus (1VCR007346) features a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) responsible for measurement and protection, a Microcontroller (MC) for control functions, and a Communication Processor (CP) for interfacing with the station-level automation system. Modifying the control scheme does not impact the protection startup and tripping functions.
- Dual-Unit Structure: The ABB REF542plus (1VCR007346) consists of a central unit, which integrates the power supply, processor, analog/binary I/O, and optional expansion modules, along with an independent Human-Machine Interface (HMI) control unit. The HMI has its own power supply and can be installed on the low-voltage compartment door or near the central unit.
- Hardware Configuration: The ABB REF542plus (1VCR007346) includes a backlit LCD screen, 8 push buttons, multiple indicator lights, and an electronic key interface. The left half of the LCD displays the primary wiring diagram, while the right half shows the menu/submenu. The device also supports multi-language switching.
