Overview
The ABB COMMANDER 1900, also cataloged as the COMMANDER 1900 circular chart recorder, operates as a dedicated hardware component for continuous multi-channel process recording and local status indication within industrial measurement and control systems. The recorder supports up to four recording traces and combines configurable chart rotation, local process display, alarm indication, mathematical functions, and modular input/output expansion.

ABB Control System Integration and Modular Expansion
The COMMANDER 1900 uses modular hardware components to expand recording and process handling functions. Plug-in cards allow field configuration of supported inputs, outputs, and mathematical channels without changing the complete recorder assembly.
In addition, the recorder provides clock-based event execution for local control functions. These events can operate assigned relays or modify chart-related functions according to the configured recorder schedule. Password protection restricts access to configuration parameters.
For ABB industrial control environments, signal routing and module configuration should remain compatible with the installed system architecture. Input wiring, output circuits, shielding arrangements, and firmware-supported plug-in cards should therefore be verified before installation or replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many process channels can the ABB COMMANDER 1900 record?
A: The recorder supports up to four pen or trace recording channels, depending on the installed configuration.
Q: Can the chart rotation period be configured?
A: Yes. The chart rotation time can be configured from 1 hour to 32 days per revolution.
Q: Can the recorder hardware be expanded in the field?
A: Yes. The COMMANDER 1900 uses plug-in cards and modular components for supported input, output, and mathematical channel expansion. Compatibility should be checked against the installed recorder configuration.
Field Installation Guidelines
Mount the ABB COMMANDER 1900 on a stable panel, wall, or pipe structure according to the selected installation arrangement. Maintain enclosure integrity to preserve the specified NEMA 4X / IP66 protection level.
Route measurement signal wiring separately from high-current power and switching conductors. Use shielded cable where required by the connected signal type and terminate cable shields according to the system grounding design.
Before energizing the recorder, inspect all terminal connections, input assignments, output circuits, and plug-in card positions. Confirm that the installed power supply matches the recorder nameplate and system wiring requirements. After startup, verify chart movement, process indication, alarm status, and configured recording channels.
