Description

3BHE019719R0101: Product Overview
The 3BHE019719R0101 is an industrial programmable logic controller (PLC) within ABB’s GVC736BE101 series, designed for high-precision motion control and industrial automation applications requiring real-time communication and integrated safety. Its role is to act as a centralized control unit in automated systems—positioned in control cabinets to coordinate multi-axis machinery, manage power conversion, and ensure safe operation. In contexts like robotics, CNC machining, and power electronics, it replaces discrete control components with a unified platform, reducing integration complexity.
Functionally, the controller processes encoder feedback from servo motors, executes motion trajectories (via PID algorithms and trajectory planning), and generates PWM signals to drive IGCT-based power modules. It handles cyclic tasks (1-4ms cycle time for real-time motion updates) and acyclic tasks (diagnostics, recipe management, SCADA integration). Core signal handling includes analog (4-20mA, 0-10V) and digital (24V DC) I/O for sensors/actuators, plus fiber-optic communication for high-speed data exchange.
As part of the GVC736BE101 platform, it leverages ABB’s drive and automation ecosystem, offering compatibility with ACS880 servo drives, ACS580 frequency converters, and IRB series robots. Benefits include reduced wiring via EtherCAT/Sercos 3, scalable I/O expansion, and compliance with ISO 13849 safety standards. The platform’s modularity allows tailoring to applications—from compact robotic cells to large-scale HVDC systems—without proprietary constraints.

Core Features & Customer Value
Multi-axis motion control integration: The controller’s support for 1/2/3-axis联动 (coordinated motion) allows precise synchronization of robotic arms, CNC axes, or conveyor systems. For engineers, this eliminates the need for external motion controllers, cutting hardware costs by 15-20%. In automotive welding robots, it ensures ±0.02mm repeatability by calculating inverse kinematics in real time, reducing rework.
Real-time communication capabilities: Dual EtherCAT and Sercos 3 ports enable millisecond-level data exchange with servo drives and sensors. This is critical for applications like wind turbine pitch control, where blade angle adjustments must sync with wind speed changes. The fiber-optic interface resists electromagnetic interference (EMI) in steel mills or power plants, ensuring reliable data transmission.
Integrated safety control: Onboard STO and 8 safety I/O channels simplify compliance with OSHA and EU machinery directives. For collaborative robots (e.g., ABB YuMi), the collision detection feature limits joint torque to <150N, protecting human operators without external safety relays. This reduces panel space by 20% and simplifies validation.
IGCT power semiconductor technology: Integration of IGCT modules (6.5kV/3kA) enables high-efficiency power conversion (≥98%) for HVDC or motor drives. In cement plant conveyors, this lowers energy consumption by 5-10% compared to IGBT-based systems, with switching frequencies up to 10kHz minimizing harmonic distortion.

Typical Applications
In an automotive assembly plant’s welding line, the controller manages a 6-axis IRB 6700 robot, coordinating motion with part fixtures via EtherCAT. It adjusts weld parameters (current, speed) based on real-time feedback from laser sensors, ensuring consistent seam quality. The safety I/O interfaces with light curtains, triggering STO if an operator enters the workspace.
At a wind farm, it controls a 3MW turbine’s pitch system: Sercos 3 connects to blade actuators, while analog inputs read wind speed/direction from anemometers. The IGCT module converts variable frequency AC to DC for the grid, with frequency deviation protection (47-53Hz) ensuring stable并网 (grid connection).
In a steel mill’s hot strip mill, the controller drives a 4-stand roughing mill via ACS880 drives. EtherCAT synchronizes roll speeds (±0.1% tolerance), while thermal overload protection (via analog inputs) prevents motor burnout. The draw-out chassis allows hot-swapping during maintenance, minimizing downtime.
