Description

Product Overview
The ABB 3BHE032025R0101 PCD235A101 is a high-performance Unitrol PC D235 Exciter Control Module designed for precision voltage regulation and stability in power generation systems. As part of ABB’s Unitrol 6000 Series, this module integrates advanced FPGA-based processing and modular architecture to deliver real-time control of generator excitation systems in applications such as hydroelectric, thermal, and gas turbine power plants. Its CEX2-BUS RS422 and Modbus TCP connectivity ensures seamless integration with ABB’s AC 800PEC control platform and third-party SCADA systems, enabling dynamic adjustment of field current to maintain grid stability and comply with evolving grid codes.

 

Featuring 16-channel relay outputs and 3-channel analog I/O (±10 V/20 mA), the ABB 3BHE032025R0101 PCD235A101 supports critical functions like automatic voltage regulation (AVR), power system stabilizer (PSS) activation, and fault protection (e.g., over-excitation, loss-of-field). Its hot-swap capability allows module replacement without system downtime, while redundant 24 V DC power inputs enhance operational resilience. The module’s -25°C to +70°C operating temperature range and IP20-rated enclosure ensure reliable performance in harsh industrial environments, backed by CE and RoHS certifications.

 

Engineered for scalability, the ABB 3BHE032025R0101 PCD235A101 supports expansion with UF D128 optional modules for additional analog/digital I/O channels. It leverages ABB’s PCM600 configuration tool for intuitive parameter adjustment and diagnostics, reducing commissioning time by up to 30% compared to legacy systems. Backward compatible with PC D230A modules, it offers a cost-effective upgrade path for retrofitting aging excitation systems while maintaining compatibility with newer software versions (e.g., ACS 6000 SD/LSOH 5000+).

Main Features and Advantages
The ABB 3BHE032025R0101 PCD235A101 excels in precision control and system integration. Its FPGA-accelerated processing enables nanosecond-level response times for grid synchronization and transient fault mitigation, critical for applications like offshore wind farm converters and high-voltage DC (HVDC) links. The module’s PID control algorithm ensures stable voltage regulation under dynamic loads, reducing voltage fluctuations by up to 95% compared to traditional analog systems.

 

Reliability is enhanced by dual redundant power inputs and self-diagnostic capabilities, which monitor channel health and report faults via the PCM600 interface. The hot-swap feature minimizes downtime during maintenance, while the IP20 enclosure protects against dust and debris in industrial environments. For scalability, the module supports 3 optical links via UF D202A modules, enabling high-speed data transmission in distributed control systems.

 

Cost-effectiveness is another key advantage, as the ABB 3BHE032025R0101 PCD235A101 offers a balance of performance and affordability. Its long lifecycle support from ABB ensures continued availability of spare parts and firmware updates, reducing total cost of ownership. Although superseded by newer models, this module remains a popular choice for retrofitting legacy systems due to its proven reliability and backward compatibility.
