ABB UFC911B106 (3BHE037864R0106) Drive Control Board – Stable replacement module for ABB industrial drive platforms
The ABB UFC911B106, part number 3BHE037864R0106, is a later-revision drive control board typically used inside ABB drive systems where it handles core control, internal I/O interfacing, and coordination with the drive’s main processing and fieldbus hardware. From my experience, this module is chosen when you need a dependable, like-for-like spare to get a downed line back up without rewiring—most replacements are plug-in and parameter restore, then you’re ready to restart.
Our Order Placement Process and Guarantees
- Warranty: 365 days
- Lead time: typically 1 week ex-stock; no more than 1 month at the latest
- Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery
- Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL
Key Features
- Drive control core – Acts as the control/coordination board inside compatible ABB drive cabinets, managing internal signals and logic.
- Backplane integration – Connects directly to the host drive’s control backplane; no extra terminal blocks in most cases, which simplifies swap-outs.
- Fieldbus/expansion ready – Works alongside the drive’s existing communication modules (e.g., PROFIBUS, Modbus, or CAN via the host system), so you keep your current network setup intact.
- Service-friendly – Typically supports straightforward replacement procedures: back up parameters, power down, ESD-safe swap, and restore settings.
- Later-revision stability – The B106 revision appears to be favored in many plants for its consistent behavior in harsh environments when installed in a properly ventilated cabinet.
Technical Specifications
| Brand / Model | ABB UFC911B106 / 3BHE037864R0106 |
| HS Code | 850490 (Parts for static converters / drive systems) |
| Power Requirements | Supplied by host drive control bus; nominal 24 VDC in most installations |
| Operating Temperature | Typically 0 to +55°C when installed in a ventilated control cabinet per ABB guidelines |
| Signal I/O Types | Backplane control signals; works with the drive’s internal digital/analog channels and expansion modules (no direct field wiring on the board in most cases) |
| Communication Interfaces | Via the host drive platform and optional fieldbus adapters (e.g., PROFIBUS, Modbus, CAN—availability depends on the drive configuration) |
| Installation Method | Internal PCB module; mounts to the drive’s designated slot/backplane; ESD-safe handling required |
| Dimensions & Weight | Board-level assembly, compact footprint; typically under 0.5 kg (board only) |
Application Fields
This control board is commonly used inside ABB industrial drive cabinets across continuous-process and heavy-duty applications. You’ll often see it in metals processing, pulp & paper, mining and aggregates, marine and offshore skids, water and wastewater stations, and oil & gas auxiliaries—places where fast turnarounds on spares really matter.
One thing I appreciate is how quickly maintenance teams can swap this module during unplanned downtime. In many cases, the procedure is: back up parameters, power down, ESD-safe replacement, power up, and validate I/O—line is running again with minimal reconfiguration.
Advantages & Value
- Reliability – Stable behavior under industrial loads when installed per ABB cabinet and grounding practices.
- Compatibility – Designed to work with existing drive backplanes and network adapters, so you typically keep your field wiring and PLC links unchanged.
- Reduced downtime – Fast plug-in replacement saves engineering hours and production losses compared with retrofitting non-OEM electronics.
- Lifecycle support – We can help check firmware alignment and revision compatibility before shipment to avoid surprises on site.
Installation & Maintenance
- Environment – Install in a clean, dry, well-ventilated cabinet. Keep ambient within the drive’s specified range and avoid dust buildup.
- Wiring & grounding – Use the designated backplane/connector seats only; check that shields and protective earth are intact to minimize noise.
- ESD precautions – Wear a wrist strap, handle by edges, and store in anti-static packaging.
- Firmware & parameters – Back up existing parameters before removal. After installation, restore parameters and verify firmware compatibility where applicable.
- Routine care – Periodically inspect connectors, clean dust with dry air, and review event logs. Keep drive firmware and parameter backups current.
- Safety – Lockout/tagout, wait for DC bus discharge, and verify absence of voltage before touching internal assemblies.
Quality & Certifications
- Manufacturer quality systems: ISO 9001 (and typically ISO 14001 across major ABB facilities)
- Compliance: CE and RoHS in most regions; UL recognition at the drive assembly level
- Warranty: 365-day warranty from delivery date
You might notice that older revisions can behave slightly differently with certain fieldbus setups. If you’re replacing a different UFC911 revision, share your drive type, firmware level, and any fieldbus modules you run. We’ll double-check compatibility so the board arrives ready for a quick swap.
