ABB PP836A

Order Code: 3BSE042237R2 | Advanced Process Panel Module

Product Overview

The ABB PP836A (3BSE042237R2) is a ruggedized process panel module designed as a human-machine interface (HMI) component within ABB's AC 800M distributed control system (DCS). This compact module provides localized process monitoring and control capabilities, enabling operators to interact directly with critical industrial processes through an intuitive interface. It combines real-time data visualization with tactile control functionality, making it ideal for decentralized automation environments where immediate access to process parameters is essential.

Core Capabilities

  • High-contrast backlit LCD display with 240x128 pixel resolution for clear data presentation
  • 24-key membrane keypad with LED status indicators for tactile operation in industrial environments
  • Support for 100+ process variables with configurable data refresh rates
  • Integrated alarm management with visual and configurable audible indicators
  • Dual-port Ethernet switch for daisy-chain network topology without additional hardware
  • Hot-swap capability for maintenance without system shutdown
