ABB YPP110A Digital Processor

Introduction

The YPP110A (formerly part number 3BSE018135R1) is a powerful processor module designed for the ABB AC 800M controller family. It serves as the brain of the control system, running user application code, managing I/O communication, and coordinating with other controllers and operator workstations. Its robust design ensures reliable operation in industrial environments.

Key Features

• High Processing Power: 32-bit RISC CPU, 400 MHz, with floating-point unit for fast arithmetic operations.

• Memory: 64 MB RAM, 32 MB flash for application storage, expandable via CompactFlash card.

• Communication Ports: 2x Ethernet (10/100 Mbit), 2x RS232, 1x RS485, and 1x CAN port.

• Redundancy Ready: Supports CPU redundancy with YPP110A pairs for bumpless failover.

• Real-Time Clock: Battery-backed for time-stamping and scheduling.

• Operating System: VxWorks or Linux-based runtime with deterministic behavior.

Technical Specifications

• Power Supply: 24 V DC ±20%, typical consumption 10 W.

• Program Execution Time: < 0.1 ms for 1000 IEC instructions.

• Operating Temperature: 0°C to +55°C (vertical mounting), +45°C horizontal.

• Humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing.

• Dimensions: 170 x 130 x 100 mm (H x W x D).

• Weight: 0.8 kg.

Software and Engineering

The YPP110A is programmed using ABB's Control Builder or 800xA engineering tools. It supports all five IEC 61131-3 languages (Ladder, FBD, ST, IL, SFC) and C++ for advanced functions. Libraries for process control, motion, and communication are included. The processor can be remotely accessed for diagnostics and program updates.

Applications

Typical applications include:

• Continuous process control (chemical, oil & gas).

• Batch control in pharmaceutical industries.

• Power plant automation (boiler, turbine control).

• Water and wastewater treatment.

Redundancy Configuration

When used in redundant mode, two YPP110A modules are linked via a dedicated synchronization cable. They operate in a primary/backup fashion; if the primary fails, the backup takes over within one cycle. All I/O and communication are seamlessly switched, ensuring process continuity.

Compliance

• CE, UL, and CSA approvals.

• Marine certifications (DNV, ABS) available on request.

• Designed for use in safety-related applications up to SIL2 with appropriate engineering.
