Description
⚡ ABB REC670 1MRK004814-BC is a Relion 670-series Bay Control IED designed for control, protection, monitoring, and automation of electrical substation bays. REC670 can control switchgear locally through its HMI or remotely through the station communication system, making it suitable for distributed substation automation architectures.
The 1MRK004814-BC ordering number identifies a specific REC670 configuration. The exact order code should be matched when replacing an installed unit because REC670 configurations can differ in power supply, I/O modules, communication interfaces, mounting arrangement, and application functions.

ABB describes REC670 as suitable for controlling different types of bays and switchgear arrangements, with control available from either a remote SCADA/station system or the local HMI. Interlocking functions can also be configured for common switchgear arrangements.
🔗 System Integration
The REC670 functions as a bay-level intelligent electronic device within a substation automation system. It can exchange control and status information with higher-level station systems while providing local operator control and monitoring.
Its modular construction allows different combinations of power-supply, binary input, binary output, static output, analog input, and communication modules. ABB documentation identifies 6U housing configurations in several widths, including 1/2-, 3/4-, and full-19-inch versions, depending on the configured hardware.
For replacement applications, verify the complete 1MRK004814-BC order number, auxiliary supply, I/O module arrangement, communication interfaces, firmware/application version, mounting dimensions, and existing PCM600 configuration before commissioning.
❓ FAQ
Q1: What is the ABB REC670 used for?
REC670 is a bay-control IED for controlling, protecting, and monitoring switchgear and electrical substation bays.
Q2: What is the complete part number?
The supplied ordering number is 1MRK004814-BC.
Q3: Can REC670 be controlled remotely?
Yes. ABB documentation describes remote control through the station communication bus as well as local operation through the HMI.
Q4: Does REC670 provide protection functions?
Yes. The REC670 platform combines bay control with configurable protection and monitoring functions, depending on the particular hardware and application configuration.
Q5: What power supplies are available?
The REC670 family documentation identifies auxiliary DC versions including 24–60 VDC and 90–250 VDC. The exact supply must be confirmed from the installed unit’s configuration.
Q6: Can another REC670 configuration replace 1MRK004814-BC?
Not automatically. Different REC670 configurations can have different I/O, communication, power-supply, and mounting arrangements. The complete ordering number should therefore be checked before substitution.
