Description
ABB UFC760BE142-3BHE004573R0142 – Drive Control Board for ABB ACS-series Variable Speed Drives
The ABB UFC760BE142 (part code 3BHE004573R0142) is a control board used in ABB medium-to-large AC drive systems, typically within the ACS600/ACS800 family. From my experience, this board sits at the heart of the drive’s control section, coordinating speed/torque commands, internal feedback, and communication with the power unit. If you’re restoring an out-of-service line or keeping a critical spare on the shelf, this module is the kind of drop-in replacement that gets equipment running again without a drawn-out re-engineering.
Our Order Process and Guarantees

- Lead time: 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
- Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery
- Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL
Key Features
- Drive control core – Manages control logic, feedback handling, and coordination inside ABB ACS-series drives.
- Backplane-powered design – Typically powered via the drive control section (no separate external supply), simplifying replacement.
- High-speed internal links – Interfaces with the power unit and other boards through ABB’s internal bus (commonly DDCS fiber in many cases).
- Field-replaceable – Plug-in form factor for quick swap-outs during downtime; ESD-safe handling is recommended.
- Firmware compatibility – Works within the drive’s existing firmware package; typically no re-wiring of field devices when replacing like-for-like.
- Service-friendly – You might notice that functional checks and parameter verification can be done via the drive’s standard HMI/service tools.
Technical Specifications
| Brand / Model | ABB UFC760BE142 – 3BHE004573R0142 |
| Product Type | Drive control board (spare/repair part for ABB ACS-series drives) |
| HS Code | 850490 (Parts of static converters / AC drives) |
| Power Requirements | Supplied via host drive backplane; 24 VDC nominal in most cases |
| Operating Temperature | Aligns with host drive rating; typically 0…+50°C when installed in a compliant cabinet |
| Signal I/O Types | Internal control/feedback via drive backplane and high-speed internal links; external field I/O handled by the drive’s I/O modules |
| Communication Interfaces | ABB internal bus (commonly DDCS fiber within ACS platforms); service access via host drive/HMI tools |
| Installation Method | Plug-in board inside the drive control unit; secured with stand-offs/screws; observe ESD practices |
Application Fields
Typical use cases are ABB drives running heavy-duty process equipment: pumps, fans, compressors, mixers, winders, cranes, and rolling equipment in sectors like metals, pulp & paper, mining, cement, chemicals, water/wastewater, and marine. In many cases, maintenance teams keep a UFC760BE142 on hand for planned shutdowns or as a rapid-response spare for production-critical lines.
A maintenance supervisor recently shared that swapping this board restored an ACS800 on a kiln draft fan in under two hours, with only parameter verification afterward—no field rewiring required. That seems to be the typical experience when replacing like-for-like.
Advantages & Value
- Reliability – Designed for continuous industrial duty inside ABB drive systems.
- Compatibility – Matches ABB ACS-series architecture, reducing integration work during replacement.
- Downtime reduction – Plug-in form factor and parameter continuity typically shorten MTTR.
- Cost control – Restores existing assets without upgrading the entire drive package.
- Technical support – We can assist with part verification, version matching, and basic commissioning checks.
Installation & Maintenance Guidance
- Cabinet & environment – Install within the ABB drive’s control bay; maintain clean, dry, and well-ventilated enclosures that meet the drive’s IP rating and ambient limits.
- ESD safety – Use antistatic wrist straps, ESD mats, and keep the board in shielding bags until installation.
- Wiring & seating – Power down, wait for DC bus discharge, then insert the board squarely into its connector; secure all stand-offs and verify fiber/backplane connections are fully seated.
- Firmware & parameters – After replacement, check firmware compatibility and confirm key parameters (motor data, limits, fieldbus settings) via the drive HMI or service tool.
- Routine care – Periodically clean cabinet filters, keep dust off PCBs with dry air (low pressure), and review drive event logs; update firmware during planned outages when approved for your system.
Quality & Certifications
- Typical conformity for ABB drive components: CE; often used in systems with UL, RoHS, and ISO-based quality management. Certification applicability follows the host drive.
- Warranty: 365 days (repair/replace terms). Each unit is function-checked before dispatch where feasible.
One thing I appreciate is how this board usually lets teams restore like-for-like functionality without touching field wiring—exactly what you want when a process is waiting. If you’d like, share your current drive typeplate and firmware level, and we’ll confirm compatibility before shipment.
