Industrial Applications & Use Cases
The PM858K02 redundant processor excels in applications requiring zero-downtime operation:
- Oil & Gas Processing: Continuous monitoring and control of refining operations, pipeline management, and offshore platforms
- Power Generation: Turbine control systems, distributed control for substations, and renewable energy integration
- Chemical Manufacturing: Batch process control, reactor management, and hazardous material handling
- Water Treatment: Municipal water purification, wastewater management, and distribution network control
- Pharmaceutical Production: Clean room environmental control, batch tracking, and regulatory compliance systems
Key Performance Benefits
Fault-Tolerant Architecture: Dual processor configuration provides automatic failover capability, ensuring continuous operation even during component failure or maintenance activities.
Seamless Integration: Native compatibility with ABB 800xA DCS platform enables rapid deployment within existing automation infrastructure without extensive reconfiguration.
Scalable Connectivity: CEX-Bus and RCU-Link interfaces support expansion to distributed I/O networks, enabling control of up to 12,000 I/O points per controller pair.
Deterministic Performance: Real-time operating system guarantees predictable scan times and response latency for time-critical control loops.
System Architecture & Integration
The PM858K02 operates within ABB's AC 800M controller family, utilizing the Compact Control Builder engineering environment for configuration and programming. The redundant architecture employs active-standby topology with automatic synchronization, ensuring bumpless transfer during switchover events. Communication occurs via dual CEX-Bus channels operating at 1.5 Mbps, providing deterministic data exchange with distributed I/O modules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between PM858K01 and PM858K02?
A: The PM858K02 is a complete redundant kit including two processors, baseplates, terminators, and cables, while PM858K01 is a single processor unit kit. The K02 variant is designed for high-availability applications requiring fault tolerance.
Q: Can I upgrade from a single PM858 to redundant PM858K02 configuration?
A: Yes, existing single-processor systems can be upgraded to redundant operation. This requires adding the second processor unit, RCU-Link cable, and updating the system configuration through Control Builder. Consult ABB technical documentation for migration procedures.
Q: What programming languages are supported?
A: The PM858K02 supports all five IEC 61131-3 programming languages: Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Structured Text (ST), Instruction List (IL), and Sequential Function Chart (SFC).
Q: How long do the backup batteries last?
A: Under normal operating conditions, the lithium backup batteries (4943013-6) provide memory retention for approximately 5 years. Battery status is monitored by the system and alerts are generated when replacement is required.
Q: Is this processor compatible with legacy Advant Controller systems?
A: No, the PM858K02 is designed exclusively for AC 800M platform. For Advant Controller applications, consider migration to AC 800M or contact ABB for system upgrade consultation.
