PM864AK01 3BSE018161R AC 800M series medium-sized redundant main controller
PM864AK01 (order number: 3BSE018161R) is a high-performance controller module in ABB's AC 800M series, a derivative model of PM864A. It is mainly designed for complex control requirements of medium to large-scale industrial automation systems, with outstanding performance particularly in redundant configuration and system stability. Here is its detailed information:
- Module Type: AC 800M series medium-sized redundant main controller
- Processor: Equipped with a high-performance 32-bit processor with strong computing capability, supporting complex control algorithms (such as advanced PID, sequential control, batch control, etc.) and large-scale logical operations
- Memory Configuration:
- Program Memory (RAM): Typical 128MB
- Data Storage (Flash): Typical 64MB, supporting persistent storage of programs, configuration files, and critical data
- Communication Interfaces:
- 1 Ethernet interface (10/100 Mbps), supporting industrial protocols such as TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, and OPC for connecting to HMI, SCADA systems, or enterprise-level networks
- 1 ModuleBus interface for high-speed connection with S800 I/O series modules, enabling on-site signal acquisition and rapid issuance of control commands
- Supports redundant communication architecture, with configurable dual network ports to enhance data transmission reliability
- Redundancy Function: Supports hot-standby redundant configuration (requires matching redundant racks and power modules), allowing millisecond-level seamless switching between active and standby controllers to ensure uninterrupted critical production processes
- Operating Voltage: 24V DC (±10%)
- Power Consumption: Typical 12W
- Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to +60°C
- Storage Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C
- Enhanced Redundancy Capability: As a redundant controller, its design focuses on improving system availability, supporting comprehensive redundancy of controllers, power supplies, and communication links. It can automatically switch to the standby controller when the main controller fails, ensuring production continuity, making it suitable for scenarios with extremely high requirements for system reliability.
- Powerful Control Performance: Combining a high-performance processor with sufficient memory, it can support large-scale control of hundreds to thousands of I/O points and handle complex industrial control tasks such as multivariable control in process industries and batch production scheduling.
- Flexible Programming and Integration: Compatible with ABB Control Builder M programming software, supporting IEC 61131-3 standard programming languages (ladder diagram, function block diagram, structured text, etc.), and providing a rich library of industry-specific function blocks; it can seamlessly integrate with AC 800M series I/O modules, third-party intelligent devices, and upper computer systems.
- Comprehensive Diagnostics and Maintenance: Equipped with multi-level diagnostic functions, it can real-time monitor controller operating status, I/O module health, communication link quality, etc. Fault information is fed back in real-time through the bus or network, supporting online programming, parameter modification, and hot swapping to simplify system maintenance processes.
- Industrial-grade Stability: Adopts a wide-temperature design and anti-electromagnetic interference (EMC) technology, capable of adapting to harsh industrial field environments (such as dust, vibration, electromagnetic interference, etc.) and ensuring long-term stable operation.
- Mainly used for core control in medium to large industrial automation systems, such as undertaking process control, equipment management, and production scheduling tasks in key production links of industries like petrochemicals, electric power, metallurgy, and large-scale water treatment plants.
- Particularly suitable for scenarios with strict requirements on system continuity and reliability, such as chemical reactor control, large generator set regulation, metallurgical production line automation, etc., providing core support for the safe and efficient operation of production processes.
With its reliable redundant design, powerful control capability, and flexible expandability, PM864AK01 has become an ideal choice balancing performance and stability in medium to large industrial automation systems, especially suitable for critical process links requiring continuous production with no allowed downtime.
