Description
PPD113B03R2060: Product Overview
The ABB PPD113B03R2060 is a high-performance automation processor module belonging to ABB’s AC 800PEC family—ABB’s flagship control system for industrial automation. Designed for mission-critical applications, it acts as the “brain” of the AC 800PEC system, executing control logic, processing sensor data, and managing communication between distributed I/O modules, field devices (e.g., sensors, actuators), and enterprise-level上位 systems (e.g., SCADA, MES).
Role in Automation Systems:
Positioned as the core controller in ABB’s AC 800PEC architecture, the PPD113B03R2060 enables seamless integration of high-speed processes (e.g., power electronics, robotics) with slower supervisory tasks (e.g., cooling loops, equipment monitoring). It replaces traditional PLC-DCS hybrid architectures by consolidating control functions into a single, scalable platform—reducing complexity and improving system reliability.
Core Functionality:
-
High-Speed Processing: Equipped with a 750 MHz RISC processor and 64-bit FPU, the module delivers microsecond-level response times for real-time control tasks (e.g., motor speed regulation, process variable adjustment).
-
Modular I/O Support: Connects to ABB’s AnyIO system via fiber-optic links (up to 36 bidirectional links), supporting a wide range of I/O modules (analog, digital, specialty) for flexible system expansion.
-
Multi-Protocol Communication: Supports Ethernet, Modbus, and Profibus protocols, enabling interoperability with third-party devices (e.g., Siemens PLCs, Schneider sensors) and enterprise systems.
-
Redundancy Options: Available in single or redundant configurations (with backup processors and power supplies) for fail-safe operation in critical applications (e.g., power generation, chemical processing).
Platform Benefits (AC 800PEC Family):
-
Scalability: Modular design allows users to add I/O modules, communication interfaces, or redundant components as operational needs grow—avoiding costly system overhauls.
-
Ruggedness: Industrial-grade components and a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) ensure reliable operation in harsh environments (e.g., factories, substations).
-
Ease of Programming: Compatible with ABB’s Control Builder M (a IEC 61131-3 compliant tool) and MATLAB/Simulink for model-based design—reducing programming time and errors.

Core Features & Customer Value
1. High-Performance Processing for Real-Time Control:
The PPD113B03R2060’s 750 MHz RISC processor and 64-bit FPU enable it to handle complex mathematical calculations (e.g., PID tuning, motion control) in microseconds—critical for applications like robotic welding, high-speed packaging, or power converter control. For customers, this means improved process accuracy, reduced cycle times, and enhanced product quality.
2. Modular Design for Scalability and Flexibility:
ABB’s AnyIO system allows users to connect a wide range of I/O modules (analog, digital, thermocouple, RTD) to the PPD113B03R2060 via fiber-optic links. This modularity eliminates the need for proprietary I/O systems—customers can mix and match ABB and third-party devices to meet specific application needs. Additionally, the module’s compact size (100 mm × 450 mm × 145 mm) saves cabinet space compared to traditional PLCs.
3. Multi-Protocol Communication for Seamless Integration:
Support for Ethernet, Modbus, and Profibus protocols ensures the PPD113B03R2060 can communicate with virtually any device in an industrial automation system—from legacy sensors to modern SCADA systems. For example, a customer using Siemens S7-1500 PLCs can integrate them with the PPD113B03R2060 via Profibus-DP, avoiding the need for protocol converters. This reduces integration costs and simplifies system architecture.
4. Redundancy for Fail-Safe Operation:
The PPD113B03R2060 is available in redundant configurations (with a backup processor and power supply) for applications where downtime is unacceptable (e.g., power plants, water treatment facilities). If the primary processor fails, the backup takes over seamlessly—ensuring continuous operation and preventing costly outages.
