Description
Product Overview
The ABB NMBA-01 3BHL000510P0003 is an Ethernet-based communication interface module for ABB’s AC 800M controller family, acting as a critical gateway between process control layers and enterprise networks. Designed for industrial hardening, this module integrates PROFINET Class 1/3 connectivity into ABB’s 800xA Extended Automation System, enabling deterministic data exchange (<100 µs jitter) for real-time I/O synchronization and safety system integration. The ABB NMBA-01 3BHL000510P0003 supports IRT (Isochronous Real-Time) communication with 31.25 µs cycle times compliant with IEC 61158/61784 standards. Featuring SIL 2 cybersecurity per IEC 62443, it provides secure remote asset management while eliminating network bottlenecks through switched Ethernet topology and full-duplex gigabit backplane integration. Certified for operation in substations (IEC 61850-3) and process plants (ATEX Zone 2), this module ensures time-stamped process data delivery across power generation and critical infrastructure applications.

Main Function Description
Deterministic Networking:
Implements Precision Transparent Clock Protocol (PTP IEEE 1588v2) for sub-μs time synchronization across distributed I/O. Supports 512 PROFINET devices per domain with configurable watchdog timers for connection loss detection.
Cybersecurity Integration:
Hardware-enforced firewall with VLAN tagging (IEEE 802.1Q) segregates control traffic from enterprise networks. Authenticated firmware updates with SHA-256 signatures and configurable ACLs align with NERC CIP requirements.
Diagnostic Capabilities:
Real-time network health monitoring:
- Bandwidth utilization per port
- Packet error rate logging
- Topology mapping via LLDP
- Port mirroring for traffic analysis
Diagnostic buffers store 10,000+ event records retrievable via OPC UA.
High Availability Features:
Sub-millisecond ring recovery (MRP) prevents data loss during fiber cuts. Hot-swappable design enables maintenance without plant shutdowns.
