Description
Description
ABB PPD113B03 26 100110 is a high performance process control processor from ABB’s AC 800 PEC series, classified as a distributed control system (DCS) module. It delivers reliable excitation and power distribution control for demanding industrial environments.
Application Scenarios
In a 500 MW hydro electric plant, the plant’s turbine generator set required tighter voltage regulation to meet grid codes while minimizing reactive power losses. By integrating ABB PPD113B03 26 100110 into the generator’s excitation loop, the plant achieved sub 0.1 % voltage deviation and reduced reactive power overshoot during load transients, eliminating the need for costly external static VAR compensators. The module’s compact size and built in redundancy allowed seamless insertion into the existing ABB 800 xA control cabinet, addressing space constraints and improving overall system reliability.

Installation, Maintenance, and Full Cycle Support
Installation of ABB PPD113B03 26 100110 is streamlined by its DIN rail mounting and standardized connector layout. Prior to mounting, verify the 100 V 240 V AC supply and confirm clearance for the 113 mm × 26 mm × 100 mm footprint. The module’s built in diagnostic LEDs and web based configuration tool allow rapid commissioning; engineers can upload IEC 61131 3 programs via Ethernet and perform online testing without removing the unit from the rack.
Routine maintenance focuses on periodic visual inspection of the power connectors, firmware updates through ABB’s Automation Builder, and verification of redundancy status via the integrated health monitoring dashboard. In case of a processor fault, the hot standby CPU automatically assumes control, and the failed unit can be hot swapped within minutes, minimizing downtime. ABB provides a global spare parts network covering over 65 countries, 12 month warranty, and 24 × 7 technical support, ensuring that customers receive prompt assistance, firmware patches, and on site engineering services when needed.
