ABB UFC760BE42 3BHE004573R0042
Product Introduction
The ABB UFC760BE42 (3BHE004573R0042) serves as a high-performance PROFINET controller module within ABB’s S800 I/O ecosystem, engineered for real-time industrial automation. This non-redundant module enables deterministic communication between AC 800M controllers and PROFINET-enabled field devices such as drives, remote I/O, and robotic systems. The ABB UFC760BE42 supports PROFINET IRT (Isochronous Real-Time) Class C, delivering synchronized data exchange with ≤250 μs cycle times for motion-critical applications.
Integrated with ABB’s 800xA DCS and Symphony Plus platforms, this module provides seamless configuration through Control Builder M engineering tools. Its triple-port architecture allows daisy-chain, star, or ring topologies via integrated optical link media (OLM) support. For industries requiring functional safety, the ABB UFC760BE42 achieves SIL 3 certification and implements PROFIsafe protocols for safety-critical I/O handling.
Core Advantages and Technical Highlights
Real-time precision: Hardware-based PROFINET ASIC achieves jitter-free ≤250 μs cycle times, enabling synchronized multi-axis robotics and high-speed packaging lines. Supports “Shared Device” functionality for multi-controller access.
Functional safety integration: Native PROFIsafe implementation (up to SIL 3) allows safety I/O integration without additional gateways. Dual-channel diagnostics validate signal integrity for emergency stop circuits.
Network resilience: Integrated Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) manager enables <20ms ring recovery. The optical port (BFOC) supports fiber-optic connections up to 3 km, eliminating ground loops in electrically noisy environments.
Engineering efficiency: Automatic device replacement (ADR) stores device configurations internally, reducing replacement downtime by 90%. Drag-and-drop device commissioning in Control Builder M.
Cybersecurity hardened: Supports VLAN tagging (IEEE 802.1Q) and port security (MAC lockdown). Hardware TPM for encrypted firmware validation.
Typical Application Scenarios
In automotive body shops, the ABB UFC760BE42 synchronizes robotic welding cells via PROFINET IRT, coordinating 32-axis systems with ±1ms timing precision. Its SIL 3 capability integrates laser scanner safety curtains directly into the control logic.
Pharmaceutical filling lines leverage the module’s deterministic control for servo-driven vial handling, where ≤250μs cycle times ensure precise fill-volume accuracy. OLM fiber connections prevent EMI interference from variable frequency drives.
Offshore wind farms deploy the UFC760BE42 for turbine pitch control, utilizing PROFIsafe to manage hydraulic braking systems. The -25°C cold-start capability ensures operation in Arctic environments, while DNV GL certification meets maritime standards.

Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Instructions
Installation preparation: Mount the UFC760BE42 horizontally on S800 baseplate (slot 0 required). Use CAT6A shielded Ethernet cables with 360° grounding clamps. Maintain bend radius >50mm for fiber-optic connections. Verify electrical isolation (500V DC) between network segments.
Maintenance suggestions: Monitor “Cycle Time Deviation” monthly via Diagnostics Manager; >5μs variance requires topology optimization. Replace internal backup battery every 5 years. Clean optical ports quarterly with anhydrous ethanol. Always de-energize before module extraction.
