Description
The ABB 3BHE021887R0101 is a high-integrity backplane communication controller sold under the functional name UBCC717BE101,engineered for ABB’s Symphony Plus distributed control system—particularly in turbine,boiler,and balance-of-plant(BOP)applications.Acting as the central I/O bus master,the ABB 3BHE021887R0101 manages real-time data exchange between redundant controllers and field I/O modules across the Symphony Plus backplane.Built for extreme reliability in power generation and heavy industry,it supports hot-swap operation,dual-channel redundancy,and seamless integration with legacy INFI 90 hardware during modernization projects.
Application Scenarios
At a combined-cycle power plant in Texas,aging turbine control systems based on Bailey INFI 90 were experiencing increasing I/O communication faults,risking unplanned trips during peak demand.The facility upgraded to a Symphony Plus platform centered on dual ABB 3BHE021887R0101 UBCC717BE101 controllers.During commissioning,one unit failed due to a manufacturing defect—but thanks to the<50ms failover capability,the gas turbine continued ramping without deviation.Operators later replaced the faulty module during normal operation using hot-swap procedures,with zero process impact.This incident highlighted how the ABB 3BHE021887R0101 transforms legacy reliability expectations into true continuous-operation assurance in mission-critical energy assets.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values
Innovation Point 1:The ABB 3BHE021887R0101 implements a dual-channel synchronized backplane architecture,where both primary and standby units continuously monitor bus traffic and I/O health—ensuring instantaneous takeover without reinitializing field devices.
Innovation Point 2:Unlike generic communication cards,the UBCC717BE101 includes built-in I/O diagnostics at the bit level,reporting open circuits,short circuits,and signal drift directly to the operator console—dramatically reducing troubleshooting time in complex turbine control loops.
Innovation Point 3:Full backward compatibility with INFI 90 I/O modules via Symphony Plus adapter bases allows plants to retain decades-old field wiring while gaining modern redundancy,cybersecurity,and HMI integration—cutting brownfield upgrade costs by 40–60%.
Innovation Point 4:The controller’s firmware supports time-stamped I/O sampling,critical for sequence-of-events(SOE)recording in power plants requiring NERC compliance or root-cause analysis after grid disturbances.
Application Cases and Industry Value
A European district heating provider retrofitted its steam turbine control system using ABB 3BHE021887R0101 UBCC717BE101 units to replace obsolete MFP controllers.The new setup integrated speed governors,extraction valve control,and vibration monitoring into a single redundant platform.Within one winter season,unscheduled outages dropped from 7 to zero,and maintenance teams reported a 70%reduction in diagnostic time thanks to granular I/O health data.Similarly,an LNG facility in Qatar deployed the ABB 3BHE021887R0101 in compressor train BOP systems,achieving SIL2 certification for emergency shutdown logic while maintaining interoperability with existing INFI 90 analog inputs.These cases underscore the product’s unique ability to merge legacy robustness with next-generation control intelligence.

Installation,Maintenance,and Full-Cycle Support
Installation of the ABB 3BHE021887R0101 requires insertion into a Symphony Plus I/O chassis with proper power distribution and grounding.Redundant pairs must be linked via the synchronization cable(3BHE021950R0101)and configured in Symphony Plus Engineering Studio to enable hot-standby mode.All I/O modules are automatically enumerated upon power-up,with no node addressing required.
Maintenance is optimized for operational continuity:the ABB 3BHE021887R0101 features front-accessible status LEDs(RUN,STOP,REDUNDANCY OK,FAULT)and supports live replacement.When a unit is removed,the standby instantly assumes control,and the new module self-initializes upon insertion.Battery-backed memory preserves configuration during swaps.
Every ABB 3BHE021887R0101 undergoes 72-hour burn-in testing,backplane stress validation,and redundancy handshake verification.We provide a 12-month warranty,firmware alignment services,and expert support for migration planning—from INFI 90 logic conversion to SIL2 safety validation.With global inventory and rapid logistics,we ensure minimal downtime during upgrades or emergencies.
