Product Introduction
The ABB 3BHB030310R0001 is a High Integrity Controller (HIC) module within ABB’s AC 800M safety series, designed for mission-critical safety instrumented systems (SIS). This TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) controller executes safety logic with 2-out-of-3 voting architecture, eliminating single-point failures in processes where human safety or environmental protection is paramount. The 3BHB030310R0001 integrates with ABB’s System 800xA DCS platform, enabling seamless safety and process control unification while maintaining IEC 61511 compliance.
Engineered for extreme reliability, this module features hardware-based fault containment zones and cyclic self-tests that detect 99.99% of dangerous failures within 1 second. Its deterministic execution engine handles safety functions with scan times down to 10 ms, supporting applications from emergency shutdown (ESD) to fire & gas detection. The ABB 3BHB030310R0001 also includes Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) assurance, meeting IEC 62443 cybersecurity requirements for critical infrastructure.
Core Advantages and Technical Highlights
Ultra-High Availability: The 3BHB030310R0001’s TMR architecture provides <1 second bumpless failover with automatic fault masking. Redundant modules operate in lockstep, comparing results every 50 ms to eliminate latent errors.
Cybersecurity by Design: Embedded hardware security modules (HSM) enforce signed firmware validation and encrypted communications. Role-based access control (RBAC) with biometric authentication options prevents unauthorized configuration changes.
Deterministic Performance: Achieves SIL 3 safety loops with 10 ms execution cycles even at 95% CPU load. Dedicated watchdog processors monitor main CPU health, triggering safe shutdown on timing deviations.
Seamless Integration: Native integration with ABB’s S800 I/O via High-Speed Ethernet (HSE). Supports parallel connection to DCS networks using OPC UA Pub/Sub for real-time data mirroring without compromising safety integrity.
Extended Diagnostics: On-module LED matrices display component health (CPU, memory, power). Predictive failure alerts are generated 72+ hours before critical faults via ABB’s Asset Health Center software.
Typical Application Scenarios
In offshore oil platforms, the ABB 3BHB030310R0001 orchestrates subsea ESD systems, processing 500+ safety tags per controller while withstanding salt fog and vibration. Its 2oo3 logic ensures reliable wellhead blowout prevention (BOP) control even with two failed channels.
Nuclear power plants utilize this module for reactor trip systems, where its <10 ms response time initiates control rod insertion during turbine overspeed events. The TÜV-certified design meets IAEA safety standards for neutron flux monitoring.
Pharmaceutical batch reactors deploy the 3BHB030310R0001 for SIL 3 pressure protection. During hydrogenation reactions, it triggers emergency quenching within 15 ms upon detecting runaway reaction conditions, integrating with HIPPS (High-Integrity Pressure Protection Systems).

Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Instructions
Installation Preparation: Mount vertically on DIN rail (EN 60715) with ≥100mm clearance for ventilation. Use ABB-approved 24VDC power sources with Class 2 galvanic isolation. Ground chassis via M4 screw (≤0.1Ω resistance). Pre-load safety logic using Control Builder M Professional in offline mode.
Maintenance Regimen: Replace cooling fans every 5 years in continuous operation. Monthly diagnostic checks via Asset Health Center. For fault recovery: solid red LED indicates CPU failure – replace module within 4 hours. Amber flashing denotes voter mismatch – cycle power after verifying I/O integrity. Always maintain one pre-configured spare module for critical systems.
