ABB UFC719 AE01 (3BHB003041R0101 / 3BHB00072R0101) – Control Board for ABB ACS‑series Drives and Drive Upgrades

From my experience, the ABB UFC719 AE01 is the kind of control board you specify when you need a stable, drop‑in replacement for ABB ACS‑series drives. You might notice the twin material codes 3BHB003041R0101 and 3BHB00072R0101 alongside the UFC identifier—those are ABB’s alternative ordering references for the same board family, often used during service and retrofit projects. In many cases, this board shows up in ACS600/ACS800 control racks, but we always advise matching by the drive frame ID and firmware level for a clean swap.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

Key Features

• Direct replacement fit – Designed as a plug‑in controller for ABB ACS‑series drive racks, typically requiring no mechanical modification.
• Stable control logic – Proven signal handling for analog/digital channels and fiber‑optic links used in ABB drive systems.
• Firmware/Revision alignment – Matches common firmware baselines used in fielded ACS600/ACS800 systems; we can help check compatibility by drive type code.
• Robust build quality – Boards are typically conformal‑coated and built for cabinet environments where temperature and dust control are managed.
• Traceable part numbers – Alternate ABB order codes 3BHB003041R0101 and 3BHB00072R0101 improve sourcing flexibility.
• Service‑friendly – Standard backplane edge connectors and mounting points make change‑outs quick during planned shutdowns.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

This board is typically deployed in variable‑speed drive systems across cement, metals, pulp & paper, marine, power generation auxiliaries, oil & gas, and large HVAC/process utility drives. A maintenance lead from a cement plant told me they keep one on the shelf specifically to minimize kiln ID fan downtime—swapping it during a shift change kept production on track.

Advantages & Value

• Reliability – ABB’s control hardware has a solid field record; failure rates are low when cabinets are kept within spec.
• Compatibility – Alternate order codes help ensure you source the correct revision for your drive frame.
• Cost control – A board‑level replacement is usually more economical than a full drive controller swap, and it shortens outage time.
• Technical support – We can assist with pre‑shipment revision checks and basic start‑up guidance to avoid mismatch issues.

Installation & Maintenance

• Environment – Install in an enclosed control cabinet (IEC/UL compliant), with ventilation and ambient typically kept at 0–55 °C, RH < 95% non‑condensing.
• ESD safety – Use antistatic gloves/wrist straps; avoid touching component leads and fiber ports.
• Wiring – Seat the board fully in the backplane connector; route fiber‑optic jumpers with gentle bend radius; verify keyed connectors before power‑up.
• Commissioning – After installation, perform parameter/firmware alignment as per the drive’s service manual; run a no‑load spin test when practical.
• Routine care – Quarterly light cleaning (dry air at low pressure), check connectors for oxidation, and keep firmware/parameters backed up. Replace cabinet filters on schedule.

Quality & Certifications

• Manufacturer quality system: typically ISO 9001
• Compliance: CE; RoHS (board level) in most cases; UL recognition is system‑dependent
• Warranty: 365 days from shipment, covering repair or replacement under normal use

Tip from the field: send us your drive type code and current controller revision before ordering. Matching those two details usually prevents the rare but annoying firmware mismatch.
