Description
3BDH000030R1: Product Overview
The ABB 3BDH000030R1 (also known as FI810F) is a specialized CAN fieldbus module designed for seamless integration with ABB’s AC 800F distributed control system (DCS). As a critical component of the AC 800F ecosystem, it acts as a communication bridge between the DCS controller and field devices (e.g., sensors, actuators, variable frequency drives) that use the CAN protocol. This module is widely used in industries such as power generation, chemical processing, and manufacturing, where reliable real-time communication is essential for process stability and efficiency.
Role in Automation Systems:
Positioned as a “fieldbus interface” in the AC 800F architecture, the 3BDH000030R1 performs two primary functions:
-
Data Transmission: Converts digital signals from the AC 800F controller into CAN protocol messages for transmission to field devices.
-
Data Reception: Receives CAN messages from field devices and converts them into digital signals for processing by the AC 800F controller.
Core Functionality:
-
Multi-Channel CAN Communication: Supports 3 independent CAN channels, allowing simultaneous communication with multiple field devices or subnetworks.
-
Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Designed to fit into the AC 800F’s modular I/O chassis, enabling quick installation and replacement without system downtime.
-
Fault Tolerance: Includes built-in error detection and correction mechanisms (e.g., CRC checks) to ensure reliable data transmission, even in electrically noisy industrial environments.
Platform Benefits (AC 800F Series):
The 3BDH000030R1 leverages ABB’s AC 800F platform, which is renowned for:
-
Scalability: Supports expansion with additional I/O modules or communication interfaces to accommodate growing operational needs.
-
Reliability: Industrial-grade components and a rugged design ensure 24/7 operation in harsh environments (e.g., high temperature, vibration).
-
Integration: Seamlessly integrates with ABB’s other AC 800F components (e.g., power supplies, I/O modules), reducing setup time and effort.

Core Features & Customer Value
1. Reliable CAN Communication:
The 3BDH000030R1’s compliance with the CAN protocol ensures seamless integration with field devices that use this standard, such as ABB’s own drives and sensors. For example, in a power plant, this module can transmit control signals from the AC 800F controller to a CAN-enabled turbine governor, ensuring precise speed control.
2. Multi-Channel Flexibility:
With 3 independent CAN channels, the module can support multiple field devices or subnetworks, reducing the need for additional communication modules. This flexibility is particularly valuable for large-scale applications where multiple field devices need to communicate with the DCS simultaneously.
3. Easy Integration with AC 800F:
Designed specifically for ABB’s AC 800F system, the 3BDH000030R1 fits into the standard I/O chassis, enabling quick installation and replacement. This plug-and-play compatibility reduces setup time and effort, allowing engineers to focus on optimizing the process rather than troubleshooting integration issues.
4. Robust Fault Tolerance:
The module’s built-in error detection and correction mechanisms (e.g., CRC checks, retransmission of corrupted frames) ensure reliable data transmission, even in electrically noisy industrial environments. This robustness reduces the risk of communication failures, which can lead to process downtime or equipment damage.
