ABB PP E100A 3BHE037824R0101 AC 800PEC Processor Board

Description

The PP E100A (Product ID 3BHE037824R0101) is a high-performance industrial controller module developed for demanding high-speed control topologies. Operating as a core Processor Board for the AC 800PEC control platform, this hardware assembly balances processing speed with real-time application processing. On the hardware layer, the card integrates the floating-point computing performance of a dedicated industrial CPU with the high-speed flexibility of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). This architecture enables the module to process fast transient loops and high-frequency switching tasks concurrently without lagging the main process execution.

On the software layer, the processor merges the plant system design capabilities of ABB ControlIT with the detailed application control and simulation environments of MATLAB/Simulink. This allows direct deployment of complex mathematical control models down to the execution hardware. Fully compatible with the wider 800xA distributed control system framework, the board supports plant-wide data exchange, fast peer-to-peer communication, and comprehensive system telemetry, while utilizing a unified software architecture that facilitates code interchangeability and engineering data reuse across the network.

Features

• Dual-Core Processing Architecture: Merges high-level floating-point CPU execution with a dedicated high-speed hardware FPGA for parallel sub-millisecond loop control.
• MATLAB/Simulink Integration: Supports direct conversion and execution of advanced simulation and control algorithms for precise system responses.
• Unified Software Framework: Shares a common engineering architecture across the platform to simplify code exchange, firmware revision management, and configuration mapping.
• Native 800xA Connectivity: Facilitates immediate integration into industrial 800xA process monitoring environments for macro-level plant control and messaging.

Applications

• High-Speed Power Electronics Regulation and Excitation Control Systems
• Real-Time Fast Loop Processing for Grid Synchronization and Heavy Frequency Converters
• Complex System Modeling and Predictive Control Layouts within 800xA Automations

Installation Guidelines

• Electrostatic Grounding Setup: Personnel must wear a connected ESD wrist strap before extracting the processor from its protective shielding to prevent damage to internal gate arrays.
• Firmware and Model Synchronization: Ensure the target compilation from MATLAB/Simulink matches the specific FPGA logic version pre-loaded on the processor board before commissioning.
• Option Slot Retaining Mechanism: Insert the board straight into its guide rails within the controller chassis, pressing firmly to verify the backplane connector rows are seated before securing screws.
• Forced-Air Cooling Clearance: Verify that adjacent card slot paths and chassis fan exhaust loops are free from obstruction to preserve uniform ambient tracking across the board components.
