Main Features and Advantages
Multi-Protocol Connectivity
The UFC911B106 supports simultaneous integration of PROFINET, Modbus, and Ethernet/IP, eliminating the need for separate gateway modules. This versatility allows it to interface with legacy devices and modern smart sensors within a single system, reducing hardware complexity by up to 30%.
High-Speed Data Processing
With a dual-core processor and 1 Gbps Ethernet capability, the module ensures real-time data transfer for critical applications like motion control and predictive maintenance. Its built-in IEC 61131-3 programming support enables custom logic implementation for protocol conversion or data filtering.
Redundancy and Fault Tolerance
Designed for mission-critical systems, the module supports hot-swapping and redundant power supplies (24 VDC dual inputs), minimizing downtime. Its diagnostic LED indicators (power, communication, fault) provide instant visibility into system health, with fault alerts transmitted via SNMP traps or system logs.
Rugged Industrial Design
The module’s conformal-coated PCB and extended temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) make it suitable for harsh environments, including offshore platforms, steel mills, and chemical plants. It complies with EN 61000-6-2 (EMC immunity) and EN 61010-1 (electrical safety) standards.
Application Areas
Process Automation
In chemical and pharmaceutical plants, the UFC911B106 integrates flow meters, pressure transmitters, and valves into the System 800xA platform, enabling centralized monitoring and control. Its PROFINET interface supports high-precision synchronization for batch processes requiring sub-millisecond timing.
Power Generation
For renewable energy installations (e.g., wind farms, solar plants), the module connects inverters, switchgear, and SCADA systems, facilitating real-time data exchange with grid management systems. Its rugged design withstands voltage fluctuations and transient surges common in power applications.
Manufacturing and Robotics
In automotive and electronics manufacturing, the UFC911B106 interfaces with robotic arms, conveyor systems, and quality inspection sensors via Ethernet/IP, enabling seamless integration with MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems). Its modular design supports easy expansion as production lines scale.
Mount the module on a 35 mm DIN rail in a control cabinet, ensuring at least 25 mm of clearance for heat dissipation.
Connect power via dual 24 VDC inputs (polarity-protected) and terminate field device cables using screw-down terminals.
Configure protocols and IP addresses via the 800xA Engineering Tool, or use ABB’s PRP/HSR redundancy manager for network resilience.
Maintenance Tips
Regularly check LED status (e.g., steady green for power, blinking green for communication activity).
Update firmware quarterly via ABB’s Application Manager to incorporate security patches and protocol updates.
For harsh environments, inspect the conformal coating annually for signs of corrosion or wear.
Product Assurance
ABB offers a 24-month warranty on the UFC911B106 3BHE037864R0106, covering defects in materials and workmanship. The module is manufactured in ABB’s ISO 9001-certified facilities in Finland, with global inventory available in regional hubs (e.g., Houston, Singapore, Frankfurt) for 2–4 day delivery.
For critical applications, ABB’s Lifecycle Services provide proactive health monitoring, spare part management, and retrofitting support. The module is backward compatible with legacy ABB systems (e.g., Advant OCS) via gateway solutions, ensuring long-term usability.
