Description
1. Product Description
The ABB 3BHE009681R0101 (GVC750BE101) and 3BHB013085R0001 are advanced industrial automation modules designed for power control, motor drives, and system integration. The GVC750BE101 is a high-performance vector drive module for AC motors (0.75–75 kW), offering precise speed control, energy optimization, and network connectivity (Modbus/Profibus). The 3BHE009681R0101 serves as a digital I/O expansion module (32 channels, 24V DC) with redundant power (24V DC dual inputs) and surge protection (6kV). The 3BHB013085R0001 is a power supply module (24V DC/5A) with active redundancy and EMI filtering. All models are part of ABB’s AC 800M/ACS 880 series, ensuring compatibility with ABB’s DCS/PLC systems and third-party devices. Key features include real-time diagnostics, compact DIN rail mounting, and compliance with IEC 61800-3 (EMC) and UL standards.

6. Selection Recommendations
- Drive Systems: Choose GVC750BE101 for motors >0.75 kW; opt for smaller drives (e.g., ABB ACS 580) for <0.75 kW.
- I/O Expansion: Pair 3BHE009681R0101 with ABB AC 800M for DCS; use third-party PLCs with Modbus gateway.
- Power Supply: Deploy 3BHB013085R0001 in redundant pairs for critical systems; single units for non-critical setups.
7. Precautions
-
Drive Installation: Ensure proper ventilation (10 cm clearance); use shielded cables for motor connections.
-
I/O Wiring: Separate power and signal cables to prevent EMI; terminate with ABB-approved connectors.
-
Power Supply: Avoid parallel operation with non-ABB units; replace capacitors every 8 years (factory service recommended).
