Description
The
AC800M 3BSE053240R1 PM891 is a
high-integrity controller designed by
ABB for distributed control systems (DCS), optimized for mission-critical applications in industries such as energy, manufacturing, and chemical processing. As part of ABB’s
AC800M platform, this module combines advanced processing capabilities, redundant architecture, and multi-protocol support to ensure reliable operation in harsh environments.
The PM891 serves as the core processing unit for ABB’s AC800M DCS, supporting up to 128 independent control loops with 1 ms cycle times for real-time responsiveness. Its dual redundant CPUs and hot-swappable design ensure 99.999% availability, making it suitable for systems where downtime could lead to significant financial losses. The module integrates seamlessly with ABB’s S800 I/O modules and 800xA Control Builder software, enabling scalable solutions for both small and large-scale industrial operations.
