ABB UFC092BE01 (HIEE300910R0001) – Rack Plug‑In Controller/Communication Module for ABB DCS Racks

The ABB UFC092BE01, part number HIEE300910R0001, is a rack-mounted controller/communication module commonly used in legacy ABB DCS platforms. From my experience, it’s typically deployed as a system interface or controller-side board in ABB rack systems where stability and long-term parts availability really matter. You might notice that plants keep one or two on the shelf to minimize downtime during planned turnarounds or sudden card failures.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• Genuine ABB module identification – Model UFC092BE01 with part code HIEE300910R0001 for accurate spare-part matching.
• Rack plug-in form factor – Designed for ABB system racks; quick swap with minimal tools in most cases.
• Backplane-powered – Power and signaling via the system backplane; no external field supply on the module itself.
• Front-panel status indicators – Typically includes LEDs for fast diagnostics during commissioning and maintenance.
• Supports plant standardization – A straightforward replacement path for installed bases running mature ABB DCS platforms.
• Service-friendly – Field teams often report sub‑20‑minute replacement time, helping reduce outage windows.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

This module is typically found in installed ABB DCS bases across:

• Power generation and utilities (boiler/turbine control, BOP systems)
• Oil & gas – refining and midstream compression stations
• Chemicals and petrochemicals
• Pulp & paper and metals processing lines
• Cement and mining operations

One thing I appreciate is how it helps plants extend the life of stable control strategies without rushing a platform migration. A maintenance lead at a cement plant told us they swapped a failed card with a UFC092BE01 during a brief stop and were back online before the hour was up—no logic changes, just a clean replacement.

Advantages & Value

• Reliability – Built for continuous-duty environments; modules like this tend to run for years once properly seated and ventilated.
• Compatibility – Matches existing rack systems and backplane signaling, which in many cases avoids re-engineering or rewiring.
• Reduced downtime – Direct replacement capability means faster mean time to repair compared with third-party retrofits.
• Procurement certainty – Clear identification (UFC092BE01 / HIEE300910R0001) lowers the risk of mismatched spares.
• Technical support – We typically help confirm firmware dependencies and slot placement before shipment to minimize site surprises.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet and rack – Install in the designated ABB rack slot; maintain adequate front/rear clearance for airflow and service.
• Power-down procedure – De-energize the rack or isolate the slot per site procedures before insertion/removal to protect the backplane.
• ESD protection – Use grounded wrist straps and antistatic packaging; avoid touching component surfaces.
• Wiring – Module signals are via the backplane; verify mating connectors and keys match the rack specification.
• Commissioning – Check front-panel indicators; confirm controller recognizes the module and that firmware/parameters are compatible with the running system.
• Routine care – Quarterly dust removal with dry air (low pressure), visual inspection of edge connectors, and periodic backup of controller configurations. Firmware updates should be aligned with site change-control policies.

Quality & Certifications

• Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems (ABB production)
• CE marking typically applicable for control products sold into the EU
• UL/CSA recognition may apply depending on production batch and market
• RoHS compliance can vary by vintage; many replacement units supplied today meet RoHS guidelines
• Supplier warranty: 12 months (365 days)

If you’re replacing an installed unit, it helps to share the current rack type and slot position so we can double-check compatibility ahead of shipment. That small step tends to save time on site.
