ABB SD812F (3BDH000014R1) – Redundant DCS Power Supply Module | AC800M Platform
Engineering Background
The ABB SD812F is the dedicated power supply module for the AC800M Distributed Control System (DCS) platform — ABB’s flagship process automation architecture deployed across oil & gas, petrochemical, pulp & paper, and power generation facilities worldwide. Carrying part number 3BDH000014R1, this module provides conditioned, regulated DC power to the AC800M controller backplane and I/O subsystems, forming the backbone of continuous-process control reliability.
Product Positioning
Designed for procurement engineers and automation integrators who require a drop-in replacement or expansion power supply for existing AC800M installations. The SD812F supports redundant power configurations, enabling N+1 or fully redundant power architectures without controller downtime — a critical requirement in SIL-rated and high-availability process environments.

Engineering Advantages
- Hot-Swap Redundancy: Replace or add a second SD812F without shutting down the controller — zero-downtime maintenance
- Wide Input Tolerance: 18–30 VDC input range accommodates real-world 24 VDC bus fluctuations in industrial panels
- Integrated Diagnostics: Onboard LED status indicators provide immediate visual fault identification without software tools
- Platform Native: Engineered specifically for the AC800M backplane — no compatibility adapters or derating required
- Long Service Life: Industrial-grade components rated for continuous duty in 24/7 process environments
System Architecture & Signal Flow
In a standard AC800M cabinet, the SD812F mounts directly into the power supply slot of the PM8xx controller unit. The 24 VDC plant supply feeds the SD812F input terminals; the module conditions and distributes regulated power across the controller backplane to the CPU, communication interfaces, and local I/O modules. In a redundant configuration, two SD812F units operate in parallel load-sharing mode — if one fails, the second assumes full load instantaneously, maintaining uninterrupted control system operation. The module communicates fault status to the AC800M system bus, enabling alarm annunciation in ABB System 800xA or compatible SCADA platforms.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the SD812F compatible with both PM861 and PM864 controllers?
A: Yes. The SD812F is the standard power supply for the AC800M controller family and is compatible with all PM8xx series processor modules.
Q: Can I run the AC800M with only one SD812F installed?
A: Yes, a single SD812F provides full system power. A second unit adds redundancy but is not required for basic operation.
Q: What happens if the SD812F fails during operation?
A: In a single-supply configuration, the controller will lose power and enter a safe shutdown state. In a redundant configuration, the second SD812F assumes full load with no interruption to control output.
Q: Do you supply the 24 VDC input power or does the plant supply it?
A: The plant’s 24 VDC distribution system supplies the SD812F input. Konmask supplies the SD812F module only.
Q: Can I request a specific firmware revision or hardware revision?
A: Yes. Please specify your required hardware revision (HW Rev) when placing your inquiry and we will confirm availability.
