Description

PFCL201C (Order Number 3BSE023409R20) is a compact PLC module produced by ABB, primarily compatible with the ABB AC 800M series distributed control system. It is used for logic control and signal processing in industrial automation scenarios. The following is all its detailed information:

Core Functions

1. Logical Control Operations: Supports IEC 61131-3 standard programming languages (such as Ladder Diagram LD, Function Block Diagram FBD, Structured Text ST), enabling logic operations such as device start/stop, interlock protection, and timing control, meeting the discrete control needs of industrial sites.

2. Discrete Signal Processing: Equipped with multiple digital input/output channels, capable of directly connecting sensors (such as proximity switches, photoelectric switches) and actuators (such as relays, contactors), realizing field signal acquisition and device control.

3. System Coordinated Communication: Communicates with the AC 800M controller via ABB’s dedicated PROFIBUS DP or EtherNet/IP bus, uploading collected status signals in real time and receiving control commands from the controller, ensuring system data synchronization.

4. Fault Diagnosis and Status Indication: Built-in channel-level fault detection functions (such as input signal open circuit, output short circuit), with LED indicators on the module front panel (power, communication, channel fault), enabling quick fault location and reduced maintenance time.

5. Environmental Adaptability Design: Uses industrial-grade anti-interference circuits to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), adapting to complex electromagnetic environments in industrial sites, ensuring stable signal transmission.

Physical and Installation Parameters

1. Dimensions: Length 140mm × Width 100mm × Height 60mm (compatible with ABB AC 800M system standard I/O rack, saving installation space)

2. Installation Method: Screw-mounted installation (compatible with AC 800M system dedicated I/O rack, supporting local or remote cabinet installation)

3. Weight: Approximately 0.4kg (weight of a single module, excluding connection cables)

4. Interface Type: Input/output uses spring terminals (tool-free wiring, convenient for on-site installation); communication interface uses D-SUB 9-pin connector (PROFIBUS DP)

Application Areas

1. Manufacturing:- Equipment start-stop control for automobile parts production lines and electronic component assembly lines (e.g., conveyor belts, robotic arm auxiliary equipment);- Logic interlock for filling equipment and packaging machines in the food and beverage industry (e.g., stop on material shortage, overload protection).

2. Process Industry:- Auxiliary equipment control in the chemical and petrochemical industries (e.g., start-stop and status monitoring of pumps and valves);- Sequence control of sludge scrapers and dosing pumps in water treatment plants.

3. Infrastructure:- Logic control of air conditioning fans and lighting systems in smart buildings;- Status monitoring and interlock protection of platform screen doors in rail transit stations.

Product Features

1. High Cost Performance: Integrates 16 DI + 16 DO channels, allowing multi-channel signal processing with a single module, reducing system costs compared to distributed I/O modules.

2. Easy Integration: No additional configuration software is required; parameters can be set and logic configured directly through ABB Control Builder M programming software, seamlessly compatible with the AC 800M system.

3. High Reliability: Relay output channels feature overload protection, with a module mean time between failures (MTBF) of ≥150,000 hours, meeting the long-term stable operation requirements of industrial sites.
