Description

ABB 086318-002

Product introduction

The 086318 – 002 is a high – performance control module by ABB, an integral part of the ABB Ability™ System 800xA® control system. It plays a pivotal role in industrial automation, taking charge of control logic execution, I/O data handling, and communication tasks.

This module’s design is centered around a high – speed 2.4GHz multicore processor, enabling it to handle complex control algorithms and process large volumes of data at a rapid pace. In industrial settings, this high – speed processing power ensures that real – time control commands can be executed promptly, such as in high – speed manufacturing lines where split – second decisions are crucial for maintaining production efficiency.

With the capacity to expand up to 512 I/O points, the 086318 – 002 is highly adaptable to various industrial applications. Whether it’s a small – scale production unit with a few sensors and actuators or a large – scale industrial plant with a vast array of input and output devices, this module can be configured to meet the specific I/O requirements.

Core advantages and technical highlights

High – performance computing

The 2.4GHz multicore CPU of the 086318 – 002 provides a significant processing boost. It can concurrently handle multiple control tasks, like running real – time monitoring software while executing complex control algorithms. In a chemical plant, for example, it can simultaneously monitor temperature, pressure, and flow rate sensors and adjust control valves accordingly, all without performance degradation.

Scalability

The ability to scale up to 512 I/O points is a major advantage. In a growing automotive manufacturing facility, as new production lines are added and more robots, conveyor belts, and sensors are integrated, the 086318 – 002 can be easily expanded to accommodate these additional I/O devices. This scalability reduces the need for frequent hardware replacements, saving both time and cost.

Reliability through redundancy

Featuring a redundant design and support for hot standby, the 086318 – 002 ensures continuous operation. In critical power generation applications, if one component fails, the redundant part seamlessly takes over, preventing any interruption in power supply control systems. This high level of reliability minimizes unplanned downtime, safeguarding industrial processes.

Safety – critical compliance

Complying with SIL3 safety standards, the 086318 – 002 is suitable for safety – critical applications. In the oil and gas industry, where a malfunction could lead to catastrophic consequences, this module can be used in safety – related control systems. It ensures that safety – critical operations, such as emergency shutdowns, are executed accurately and reliably.

Typical application scenarios

Process control

In industries like chemical, petroleum, and natural gas, the 086318 – 002 is used to control production processes. It receives signals from temperature, pressure, and flow sensors and adjusts valves and pumps to maintain optimal process conditions. For instance, in a petrochemical refinery, it precisely controls the distillation process by regulating the flow of crude oil and the temperature of distillation columns, ensuring high – quality product output.

Discrete control

It is also utilized for controlling devices like conveyors, elevators, and packaging machines. In a large – scale logistics center, the 086318 – 002 controls conveyor belts, ensuring smooth movement of packages. It can detect package jams or incorrect positioning and take immediate corrective actions, such as stopping the conveyor or diverting packages to a different route.

Motion control

For equipment such as robots and CNC machines, the 086318 – 002 manages motion control. In an automated manufacturing cell with robotic arms, it coordinates the movement of the arms, ensuring they pick and place components accurately. It can also communicate with other devices in the cell, like vision systems, to perform complex tasks such as quality inspection during the manufacturing process.

Related model recommendations

086318 – 501: May be a related variant with different features, perhaps having a different form factor or a subset of the 086318 – 002‘s capabilities. It could be suitable for applications where a more compact or less feature – rich option is required, such as in small – scale experimental setups.

Modules from the ABB Ability™ System 800xA® family with different I/O capacities: For example, some modules might have a lower maximum I/O count, like 128 I/O points. These are suitable for applications with fewer input and output requirements, such as small – scale food and beverage production lines where the number of sensors and actuators is limited.

Other control modules with different communication capabilities: There could be modules that support only a subset of the communication protocols of the 086318 – 002. If an application only requires RS – 485 communication for connecting to a specific set of legacy devices, these modules can be a more cost – effective alternative.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation

Before installation, ensure the environment is clean, dry, and free from electromagnetic interference. Mount the 086318 – 002 on a suitable rack, following ABB’s installation guidelines. Use proper tools to securely fasten the module to the rack. Connect the power supply, ensuring the 24V DC supply meets the specified voltage tolerance. When connecting communication cables (Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, etc.), use shielded cables to minimize interference. Label all connections clearly for easy identification during commissioning and maintenance.

Maintenance suggestions

Regularly check for loose connections and signs of overheating. Inspect the module’s status indicators to ensure normal operation. For software – related issues, keep the module’s firmware up – to – date using ABB’s official software update tools. In case of hardware failures, if the module has a redundant design, verify the operation of the redundant components. If a component needs replacement, use genuine ABB spare parts.
