The ABB PM864 is part of the AC 800M family of controllers, specifically designed for automation and control applications.

Product Name:

• ABB PM864 Control Module

Product Description:

The PM864 is a high-performance controller module used within ABB’s AC 800M series, which is a distributed control system (DCS) commonly used for automation in industries like process control, manufacturing, and energy. The PM864 is designed to provide powerful control and communication capabilities while supporting a range of I/O and fieldbus interfaces. It acts as the central processing unit (CPU) in the system, executing control algorithms, managing data communication, and handling I/O signals.

Key Features:

• High-performance processing power.
• Large memory capacity for storing programs, data, and diagnostics.
• Supports both real-time control and data logging.
• Integrated redundancy options for high availability and reliability.
• Extensive communication support for different industrial protocols like Profibus, Modbus, Ethernet, and more.
• Integrated diagnostics to ensure smooth operation and easy troubleshooting.
