Description
ABB UFC762AE101 3BHE006412R0101 High-Speed PLC Module for Industrial Automation
The UFC762AE101 3BHE006412R0101 is a high-performance digital input/output module designed by ABB for its AC800M PLC platform, delivering real-time control and seamless integration in manufacturing, energy, and process industries. Engineered with 16-bit resolution and 20 μs cycle time, this module ensures precise data acquisition and actuation for applications such as robotic assembly, power generation, and chemical processing.
1. Product Overview
The UFC762AE101 3BHE006412R0101 serves as the sensory interface for ABB’s automation systems, converting analog signals (0–10V, 4–20mA) into digital commands with ±0.1% accuracy. Its dual-channel redundancy ensures continuous operation during component failure, while 24V DC ±10% auto-ranging input eliminates voltage-specific dependencies. Built with IP20-rated enclosure and -20°C to +60°C temperature tolerance, the module withstands harsh industrial environments, reducing downtime by 30% compared to legacy solutions.
