Description
The ABB PCD231 (Part No. 3BHE025541R0101) is a high-performance control and communication interface module from the AC 800PEC platform. Known internally as PEC80-CCI, it combines advanced control, signal processing, and communication management within one compact unit.
This module is specifically designed for applications in power generation, converter control, and industrial automation. It efficiently handles real-time control tasks while providing reliable communication between field devices and supervisory systems. Moreover, its rugged design and wide temperature tolerance make it ideal for harsh industrial environments.
In certain configurations such as the PCD231B, it also performs generator protection functions, including differential and harmonic restraint protection for generators up to 100 MVA. This versatility allows it to serve both as a control core and protection relay within ABB’s excitation and automation ecosystem.
