Description

PPD113 B03-25-100110 3BHE023584R2534: Product Overview
This device is a pressure transmitter within ABB’s PPD Series (Field Instrument Series), designed for industrial process pressure measurement in distributed control systems (DCS) and programmable logic controllers (PLC). In an automation architecture, it functions as a field sensor interface, positioned near process media (e.g., pipelines, reactors, tanks) to acquire pressure signals, condition them, and transmit standardized data to control systems. Its role is to amplify low-level sensor outputs, linearize nonlinear pressure-to-voltage relationships, isolate electrical noise, and provide real-time pressure values for process monitoring, alarm management, and closed-loop control.
The core functionality involves piezoresistive sensing (silicon chip with Wheatstone bridge), temperature compensation (via integrated RTD), and digital signal processing (16-bit ADC) to achieve ±0.075% accuracy. It supports gauge or absolute pressure measurement (configurable), outputs 4-20mA analog signals with HART 7 protocol overlay for remote parameter adjustment (e.g., range scaling, damping) and diagnostics (e.g., sensor drift, process noise). The transmitter mounts via threaded or flange connections, interfacing with ABB 800xA or third-party DCS/PLC systems via analog input modules.
It belongs to the PPD Series, optimized for long-term stability, global compliance, and integration with ABB’s asset management tools. The platform’s benefits include adherence to IEC 61508 (functional safety) and IEC 61784 (fieldbus), modular sensor compatibility (piezoresistive, capacitive), and integration with ABB’s FieldCare software for centralized calibration and health monitoring—reducing lifecycle costs through predictive maintenance.

Core Features & Customer Value
The transmitter’s design emphasizes measurement precision, environmental resilience, and operational flexibility. The ±0.075% accuracy ensures reliable pressure monitoring in critical processes—for example, in a chemical reactor, it detects minor pressure deviations that could indicate catalyst bed compaction, enabling proactive adjustments to prevent overpressure incidents. HART 7 protocol support allows engineers to reconfigure range or damping remotely via handheld communicators (e.g., ABB 475) or FieldCare software, avoiding costly field visits during process changes.
The 2-wire loop-powered design simplifies wiring, as it shares the same pair for power and signal—reducing installation costs in large facilities (e.g., oil refineries with hundreds of transmitters). The IP67 rating and wide ambient temperature tolerance (-40°C to +85°C) suit harsh environments, from outdoor pipeline monitoring in arctic regions to indoor exposure in chemical plants with corrosive vapors.
Electrical isolation (500Vrms) prevents ground loops and transient voltage spikes from corrupting data—essential in environments with heavy machinery (e.g., steel mills), where electromagnetic interference is common. Integration with FieldCare software provides centralized diagnostics, including sensor health trends and process noise analysis. For maintenance teams, this reduces unexpected failures—for instance, detecting sensor drift in a boiler feedwater line before it causes pressure control instability. The modular design allows sensor head replacement without recalibration, minimizing downtime during repairs.

Typical Applications
In a natural gas processing plant, the transmitter monitors suction pressure at a compressor inlet. Its 0-25 bar range and HART diagnostics alert operators to icing (indicated by sub-atmospheric readings), preventing compressor damage. The 4-20mA signal feeds an ABB AC800M controller for automatic heating adjustments.
At a pharmaceutical bioreactor, it measures culture medium pressure to maintain sterility. The ±0.075% accuracy ensures compliance with FDA process validation requirements, while HART remote configuration allows adjusting the range during scale-up from lab to production batches.
In a power plant’s steam turbine system, the transmitter tracks main steam pressure. Its IP67 protection guards against moisture from nearby cooling towers, and diagnostics identify sensor aging, prompting timely replacement before efficiency drops.
