ABB PCD235A101 3BHE032025R0101 PEC80-CIO Exciter Control I/O Module

ABB PCD235A101, part number 3BHE032025R0101, also named PEC80-CIO FU, belongs to ABB AC800PEC power electronics control platform. It is a dedicated I/O module for UNITROL series generator excitation systems, working cooperatively with KUC711AE and PCD230A to collect field signals and output excitation control commands.

This module integrates multi-channel analog and digital I/O circuits, with signal conditioning and hardware interlock protection. It transmits real-time measured values and fault status back to the main processor. It serves as spare replacement for power plant excitation cabinet overhaul and maintenance projects.
