Overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overheating protection
IGBT drive fault detection
Software security:
Safe torque off (STO) function (compliant with IEC 61800-5-2)
Password protection and authority classification
Typical application scenarios
1. Industrial drive
Multi-motor synchronization: paper machine, textile machinery, metallurgical rolling mill.
High-performance frequency conversion: energy-saving control of centrifugal compressors, fans, pumps and other loads.
2. Power electronic equipment
Static VAR compensator (SVG): dynamically adjust the reactive power of the grid and improve the power factor.
Active Power Filter (APF): Compensate for harmonic currents and meet IEEE 519 standards.
BESS: Battery energy management to achieve peak load shifting.
3. Renewable Energy
PV Inverter: Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control.
Wind Power Converter: Double-fed or full-power converter control.
Supporting Software
Control Builder Safe: For logic programming and configuration (requires separate authorization).
AC 800PEC Library: Provides power electronics-specific function blocks (such as PWM generation, coordinate transformation).
3. Expansion Options
Communication Module: Adds support for PROFINET, DeviceNet and other protocols.
I/O Expansion Card: Can be expanded to up to 64 DI/DO or 32 AI/AO.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
1. Daily Maintenance
Heat Dissipation Check: Ensure that the fan is running normally and clean the dust in the control cabinet.
Firmware update: Regularly upgrade the software version through ABB 800xA Configuration Studio.
Backup configuration: Use Control Builder Safe to export project files to prevent data loss.
