ABB PM866K01 (3BSE050198R1) – High-Performance Processor Unit | AC 800M DCS/PLC Platform
Engineering Background
The ABB PM866K01 is a central processing unit designed for ABB’s AC 800M controller platform — one of the most widely deployed distributed control system (DCS) architectures in process industries worldwide. Part number 3BSE050198R1 identifies the standard hardware revision used across power generation, oil & gas, chemical, and pulp & paper facilities.
Product Positioning
As the computational core of the AC 800M rack, the PM866K01 handles real-time process control, inter-module communication, and application program execution. It is the preferred upgrade path from PM864/PM865 series for facilities requiring expanded memory, faster scan cycles, and enhanced redundancy support. Procurement engineers specify this unit for both greenfield installations and brownfield controller upgrades.

Engineering Advantages
- Hot-Standby Redundancy: Bumpless switchover in <100 ms ensures zero process interruption during CPU failover
- Dual Ethernet Ports: Supports separated plant network and engineering network connections simultaneously
- Backward Compatibility: Drop-in replacement for PM864A/PM865K01 in existing AC 800M racks without hardware modification
- Expanded Memory: 64 MB RAM supports large application programs with complex function block libraries
- IEC 61131-3 Compliant: Full support for ST, FBD, LD, SFC, and IL programming languages via Control Builder M
- Deterministic Execution: Hard real-time OS guarantees scan cycle jitter <1 ms under full load
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The PM866K01 occupies the CPU slot of the AC 800M S800 I/O rack or standalone controller housing. On power-up, it initializes the backplane bus, loads the application program from Flash, and begins cyclic execution. Process data flows from S800 I/O modules → backplane → PM866K01 CPU → control algorithm → output modules. Ethernet ports connect to the plant MMS network (IEC 61850 / OPC DA/UA) and to the ABB System 800xA operator station network. In redundant configurations, a second PM866K01 in hot-standby mode mirrors all process data via the redundancy link; switchover is automatic upon primary CPU fault detection.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is PM866K01 compatible with AC 800M firmware version 6.x?
A: Yes. PM866K01 supports Control Builder M firmware from version 5.1 through the current 6.x release. Firmware upgrade via service port is supported.
Q: Can PM866K01 replace PM864A without rack modification?
A: Yes. PM866K01 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the same AC 800M rack slot. Application program re-download via Control Builder M is required after replacement.
Q: Does this unit support PROFINET?
A: Native PROFINET IO controller functionality requires the CI871 communication interface module. PM866K01 provides the Ethernet backbone; PROFINET is handled at the CI module level.
Q: What is the maximum number of I/O points supported?
A: A single PM866K01 controller can manage up to 8 S800 I/O clusters via optical ModuleBus, supporting up to ~6,400 I/O channels depending on module mix.
Q: Is hot-swap replacement possible?
A: In a redundant configuration, the standby PM866K01 can be replaced while the primary remains in control. Single-CPU configurations require a planned shutdown for module replacement.
