ABB PM864AK01 3BSE01816R1 

A high-performance, high-reliability industrial process automation controller, it is the core processing unit of the ABB 800xA DCS system. Designed specifically for critical industrial processes requiring large-scale, complex control and extremely high availability, it is a pillar product of modern process industry automation.

Detailed Features & Characteristics

1. High-Performance Processing:

   • Utilizes a powerful processor capable of handling a large number of I/O points (thousands) and complex control loops.

   • Suitable for demanding applications in industries such as chemical, oil and gas, power generation, and pharmaceuticals.

2. Part of the ABB 800xA System:

   • 800xA is ABB’s leading Distributed Control System (DCS) and automation platform. The PM864AK01 is a key member of its controller family, seamlessly integrating with 800xA engineering tools, operator stations, and network architecture.

3. High Availability and Reliability:

   • Supports redundant configuration. It can be used in pairs (primary and standby). If the primary controller fails, the backup controller takes over control tasks seamlessly, significantly enhancing system availability and safety.

   • Designed for 24/7 continuous operation, meeting the needs of critical process industries for uninterrupted production.

4. Substantial Memory and Connectivity:

   • Features ample user memory for storing and executing logic programs.

   • Through companion communication interface modules, it can connect to various fieldbuses (e.g., Profibus DP, Foundation Fieldbus H1, Modbus) and I/O modules.

5. Advanced Control Capabilities:

   • Supports everything from basic PID control to complex Advanced Process Control (APC), batch process control, and sequential control.

   • Capable of running custom control algorithms written by users using the Control Builder engineering software.

6. Integration and Compatibility:

   • Fully compatible with ABB’s S800 I/O and S900 I/O series.

   • Can seamlessly integrate with ABB and third-party drive products, safety systems, etc., to build a unified automation architecture.
