Description
ABB 3BDH001001R0005 – Control Builder M Professional License for AC 800M Engineering
The part number 3BDH001001R0005 from ABB typically refers to a Control Builder M Professional license used to engineer, deploy, and maintain AC 800M-based applications within an ABB 800xA environment. From my experience, teams choose this when they need full IEC 61131-3 language support, robust online changes, and consistent workflow from simulation to commissioning.
You might notice that it streamlines controller configuration, I/O mapping (S800 I/O in many cases), hardware definition, and diagnostics, which makes day-to-day changes on running systems far less disruptive.

Installation & Maintenance
- PC & OS: Use an ABB-qualified Windows build for your 800xA version. Admin rights are typically required to install drivers and services.
- Cabinet/Network Environment: Engineering station should sit on the 800xA engineering network (segmented VLAN). Keep clean power and proper grounding to avoid comms drops.
- Licensing: If a USB key is used, assign it to a protected USB port. Keep a secure backup of license files and entitlement IDs.
- Wiring & Connectivity: Standard Ethernet to AC 800M service ports or via the 800xA network switch. Avoid unmanaged network loops; label all ports.
- Version Alignment: Match Control Builder M version to controller firmware and 800xA release. A minor mismatch often leads to unexpected warnings during download.
- Routine Maintenance: Periodic project backups, library version control, and applying ABB hotfixes on a test VM before production rollout.
- Cyber Hygiene: Exclude project folders from aggressive real-time antivirus scanning; maintain whitelisting according to plant IT policy.
- Calibration/Validation: Not a physical device, but schedule functional checks after any firmware or library change, especially on safety-related loops.
Quality & Certifications
- Standards: Engineering per IEC 61131-3; 800xA lifecycle practices commonly align with IEC 62443 for security in many deployments.
- CE / UL / RoHS: Not typically applicable to software licenses; underlying hardware (controllers and I/O) carry relevant certifications.
- Quality Systems: ABB development and manufacturing are generally managed under ISO 9001 frameworks.
- Warranty Policy: 365-day warranty from us, covering license activation and media (if supplied). Manufacturer software support/maintenance can be purchased separately if needed.
One thing I appreciate is how predictable the workflow becomes once versions are aligned—engineering, simulation, and commissioning flow into each other with fewer surprises. If you’re planning a migration or adding new I/O islands, this license tends to keep your AC 800M projects consistent across sites.
