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.

NAIO-03F

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.


Application Areas

  • Power Generation: Synchronizing turbine governor controls with generator protection relays via PROFINET IRT
  • Chemical Processing: CIP/SIP sequencing in batch reactors requiring sub-ms valve synchronization
  • Water Management: Coordinating pump station PLCs across flood control networks with deterministic response
  • HV Substations: Merging Unit integration for IEC 61850-9-2 sampled value streaming
  • Manufacturing: Robotics motion control synchronization in automotive assembly lines
  • Marine Propulsion: Engine control room integration on LNG carriers (DNV GL certified)
