The ABB 3BSE018100R1 PM860K01 is a high-performance CPU module designed for the AC 800M controller platform. It functions as the core processing engine within the ABB Ability System 800xA, providing robust logic execution, data processing, and communication management for complex industrial automation systems. The PM860K01 kit typically includes the CPU, baseplate, and necessary termination components, offering a scalable solution for both small-scale projects and large-scale, distributed control architectures.

Application Fields
This CPU module is a staple in high-reliability process industries. It is extensively used in power generation, chemical manufacturing, metal refining, and pulp and paper mills. Its ability to handle thousands of I/O points and support complex control loops makes it ideal for turbine control, boiler management, and large-scale plant-wide automation where system uptime and deterministic performance are critical.
Product Instructions
The PM860K01 must be mounted on a compatible TP830 or similar terminal base. Ensure the mechanical locking mechanism is engaged to maintain a reliable connection to the ModuleBus. When configuring redundancy, two PM860 units must be installed on a redundant baseplate and interconnected via the RCU (Redundancy Control Unit) link. Programming is carried out using the ABB Compact Control Builder or 800xA engineering toolset. It is highly recommended to use a battery backup (SB821 or SB822) to prevent the loss of application data during power outages.
FAQ: Common Questions and Answers
Q: What is the difference between PM860 and PM864 units? A: While both belong to the AC 800M family, the PM864 offers higher processing speeds and significantly more memory capacity (32 MB) compared to the 8 MB found in the PM860, making the PM864 more suitable for extremely data-intensive applications.
Q: Can I hot-swap this CPU if it fails? A: If the system is configured in a redundant setup (two CPUs), you can replace the faulty “Backup” unit while the “Primary” unit continues to run the process. In a non-redundant setup, replacing the CPU will require a scheduled system shutdown.
Q: What do the status LEDs on the front panel indicate? A: The “Run” LED (Green) indicates the CPU is executing logic, “Err” (Red) indicates a hardware or firmware fault, and “Batt” (Yellow) warns that the backup battery voltage is low and needs replacement.
