Product Overview
The ABB XVC768116 3BHB007211R116 is a high-performance control module specifically engineered for ABB’s industrial AC drive systems—most notably the ACS880 and ACS600 series, which are widely used in heavy-duty power conversion and motion control applications. As a core logic and interface component, ABB XVC768116 3BHB007211R116 acts as the “control brain” for drive systems, managing power semiconductor switching, real-time torque/speed regulation, and communication with external controllers (e.g., PLCs, DCS). It translates operator or system commands into precise drive outputs, ensuring smooth, efficient operation of high-power industrial equipment.
Designed to withstand the rigors of heavy industry, ABB XVC768116 3BHB007211R116 integrates robust electronic components with advanced thermal management, enabling reliable performance in harsh environments with temperature fluctuations, vibration, and electromagnetic interference. Its seamless compatibility with ABB’s drive ecosystems—including drive software (e.g., Drive composer Pro) and peripheral modules—makes ABB XVC768116 3BHB007211R116 an indispensable solution for applications where precision, durability, and system uptime are critical, such as steel manufacturing, mining, and large-scale HVAC systems.

Main Features and Advantages
Precision Drive Control: ABB XVC768116 3BHB007211R116 delivers real-time control of drive parameters—including torque, speed, and current—with microsecond-level response times. This precision ensures that connected industrial equipment (e.g., mining conveyors, steel rolling mills) operates at optimal efficiency, reducing energy waste and minimizing mechanical wear. Unlike generic control modules, it is calibrated specifically for ABB’s ACS880/ACS600 drives, eliminating compatibility gaps and ensuring seamless integration with drive hardware.
Robust Industrial Design: Engineered for heavy-industry environments, ABB XVC768116 3BHB007211R116 features a rugged PCB design with conformal coating to resist dust, moisture, and chemical exposure. Its wide operating temperature range (-10°C to 60°C) and vibration resistance (up to 5 g per IEC 60068-2-6) ensure reliability in harsh settings like foundries or offshore platforms, where standard electronic modules would fail. The module’s isolation rating (2.5 kV AC) also protects logic circuits from voltage spikes in high-power drive systems.
Seamless Communication & Integration: ABB XVC768116 3BHB007211R116 supports multiple communication protocols, including Modbus RTU for direct PLC/DCS integration and ABB’s proprietary drive-internal bus for synchronized control of multi-drive systems. It is fully compatible with ABB’s Drive composer Pro software, enabling easy configuration, firmware updates, and diagnostic monitoring—reducing setup time and simplifying maintenance. For advanced network needs, it can connect to Ethernet via optional adapters, supporting Industry 4.0 integration.
Built-In Protective Mechanisms: To safeguard both the module and connected drive systems, ABB XVC768116 3BHB007211R116 includes overcurrent protection for logic circuits and real-time overtemperature monitoring. If abnormal conditions are detected (e.g., excessive current in the logic loop), the module triggers a drive shutdown or alarm, preventing permanent damage to expensive drive components. This proactive protection reduces unplanned downtime and lowers repair costs.
Application Fields
ABB XVC768116 3BHB007211R116 is a critical component in the mining industry, where it controls ABB ACS880 drives powering large equipment like ore conveyors, crushers, and hoists. In underground mines, its rugged design withstands dust, vibration, and temperature swings, while its precision control ensures conveyors operate at consistent speeds—preventing material jams that could halt production. The module’s communication capabilities also allow remote monitoring of drive performance via mine-wide SCADA systems, enabling predictive maintenance.
In steel manufacturing, ABB XVC768116 3BHB007211R116 is used with ACS600 drives to control rolling mills and extrusion machines. These applications require precise torque control to shape steel without defects; the module’s real-time response ensures that rolling speeds adjust instantly to material thickness changes, improving product quality and reducing scrap. Its overtemperature protection is also critical here, as steel mills generate extreme heat that could damage less robust control modules.
The renewable energy sector relies on ABB XVC768116 3BHB007211R116 in wind turbine converters (powered by ACS880 drives). The module manages the conversion of variable-speed wind energy into grid-compatible AC power, adjusting to wind speed fluctuations to maximize energy output. Its compatibility with Ethernet (via adapters) allows integration with wind farm management systems, enabling centralized monitoring of multiple turbines.
Additionally, ABB XVC768116 3BHB007211R116 finds applications in marine propulsion systems, where it controls ACS880 drives powering ship thrusters. Its moisture-resistant conformal coating and vibration resistance make it suitable for marine environments, while its precise speed control ensures smooth maneuvering of vessels—critical for safety in ports or rough seas. It also supports communication with shipboard control systems, enabling integrated navigation and propulsion management.
