High-Speed Processing: Dual-core architecture and 100 μs cycle time enable real-time control for demanding applications (e.g., robotics, high-speed manufacturing).
Modular Scalability: Supports step-by-step expansion with ABB’s I/O modules (e.g., AI, AO, DI, DO) and communication gateways.
Reliability: Industrial-grade design (no moving parts), EMC/EMI protection, and redundant power inputs ensure stable operation in harsh conditions.
Energy Efficiency: Low power consumption (≤25W) and sleep-mode optimization reduce operational costs.
Integration Flexibility: Native compatibility with ABB’s 800xA DCS, PLCopen standards, and tools (IEC 61131-3, MATLAB®/Simulink®).
The ABB PPD115A102is a high-performance processor module designed for industrial automation systems, optimized for the AC 800PEC controller platform. Engineered for real-time control and process automation, it combines a dual-core industrial CPU with advanced I/O handling, supporting cycle times as low as 100 μs. The module features redundant Ethernet/IP and PROFIBUS DP interfaces, ensuring seamless integration into complex industrial networks. Its compact design (IP20 protection) and DIN-rail mounting make it suitable for diverse environments, while compatibility with ABB Ability™ System 800xA enables scalable, future-proof solutions. The PPD115A102 prioritizes reliability with a fail-safe storage system, EMC certification, and industrial-grade components, reducing downtime in critical applications.
Temperature: -20°C to +60°C; Humidity: 5–95% (non-condensing)
