ABB PM867K02 – Redundant Processor Unit | AC 800M DCS Platform
Engineering Background: The ABB PM867K02 is a high-availability redundant processor module engineered for mission-critical process automation within ABB’s AC 800M Distributed Control System (DCS) architecture. Designed to eliminate single points of failure in continuous process industries, this unit delivers deterministic control execution with seamless hot-standby switchover — ensuring zero process interruption during controller faults or planned maintenance.
Product Positioning: Targeted at process engineers and automation architects specifying redundant control infrastructure for oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing, and water treatment facilities. The PM867K02 pairs directly with ABB’s S800 I/O modules and communicates over the high-speed MMS/IEC 61850 network backbone, making it the preferred CPU choice for safety-instrumented and high-uptime control loops.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The PM867K02 operates as the primary execution engine within an AC 800M controller station. In a redundant configuration, two PM867K02 units are installed in parallel — one active (primary) and one standby — connected via a dedicated optical fiber redundancy link. The active CPU executes the control application and continuously synchronizes process data, I/O states, and program variables to the standby unit at every scan cycle. Upon detection of a primary CPU fault (hardware failure, watchdog timeout, or communication loss), the standby unit assumes control within one scan cycle with no bump to process outputs.
Field signals are acquired via S800 I/O modules connected to the CEX-Bus backplane. Engineering workstations running Control Builder M communicate with the PM867K02 over Ethernet using the MMS protocol. Historian and SCADA systems interface via OPC UA or Modbus TCP gateways.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the PM867K02 compatible with the older PM866 series?
A: Yes. The PM867K02 is backward compatible with PM866 installations and can be used as a direct upgrade. Control Builder M project migration is required.
Q: Can the PM867K02 operate in a non-redundant (simplex) configuration?
A: Yes. The module functions as a standard (non-redundant) processor when a second unit is not installed. Redundancy can be added later without hardware changes to the I/O subsystem.
Q: What firmware version is required for IEC 61850 communication?
A: IEC 61850 support requires Control Builder M v6.1 or later and the corresponding PM867K02 firmware. Contact Konmask for firmware version verification before ordering.
Q: What is the typical lead time for PM867K02?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For larger quantities or specific firmware requirements, lead time is 5–10 business days. Contact us for real-time stock status.
Q: Do you provide a Certificate of Conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes. A Konmask CoC is provided with every shipment. ABB original CoC is available for new-in-box units where applicable.
