• Unified Engineering Environment: When used with System 800xA, it benefits from a single integrated engineering environment for design, operation, and maintenance, reducing lifecycle costs.

• Global Support: Backed by ABB's global service and support network, ensuring long-term availability of expertise and spare parts.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between the PM802F and other AC 800M controllers like the PM803F or PM805F?
A: The primary differences lie in processing power, memory size, and built-in communication options. The PM803F offers higher performance than the PM802F, and the PM805F is a more advanced controller with a dual-core processor and greater connectivity. The PM802F is an excellent choice for mid-range performance needs.

Q: Can the PM802F be used as a standalone PLC, or does it require System 800xA?
A: While it is a core component of System 800xA, the PM802F can also be used as a high-performance standalone PLC with ABB's Compact HMI or any OPC-compliant SCADA system.

Q: Do you offer new or refurbished units?
A: We provide both new, genuine ABB units and professionally refurbished controllers. All refurbished units are rigorously tested, cleaned, and come with a warranty to ensure they meet original performance specifications.

Q: What communication protocols does it support?
A: It natively supports TCP/IP over Ethernet. By adding different communication interface modules (like CI854 for Profibus DP or CI867 for Ethernet/IP), it can communicate with virtually any field device or sub-system.
