Product Introduction

The ABB PM858 3BSE093350R1 represents the pinnacle of ABB’s AC 800M controller series, engineered for mission-critical process automation in demanding industrial environments. This high-availability controller serves as the computational backbone for distributed control systems (DCS), integrating complex regulatory control, sequence logic, and safety instrumented functions within a unified platform. The PM858 3BSE093350R1 features dual ARM Cortex-A9 processors with hardware-assisted redundancy switching, enabling seamless failover during processor faults without disrupting control loops.

Designed for ABB’s Symphony® Plus and 800xA automation architectures, this controller excels in large-scale applications requiring deterministic execution of >5,000 function blocks at 50 ms scan rates. The ABB PM858 3BSE093350R1 bridges operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) domains through native OPC UA Pub/Sub support, facilitating secure data exchange with MES and cloud platforms. Its technical positioning targets industries where controller downtime costs exceed $1M/hour – including power generation, oil refining, and continuous chemical processes – providing unparalleled reliability through patented “Hot Standby” redundancy technology.
