Description
ABB PM891K01
- Technical Specifications (similar to PM866 + extras):
- Application RAM: 128 MB (ECC-protected)
- Flash: 256 MB
- CPU: Dual-core RISC with enhanced watchdog & memory parity
- Interfaces: Same as PM865/866 — 2×Eth 10/100/1000? (some PM891 revisions have GbE; confirm label — later ones yes, early PM891 may be 10/100 — verify)
- Redundancy: Yes — PM891+PM891 pair only (no mix)
- Safety Context: When used with S800 SIL I/O + proper SRS → SIL2 achievable for SIF loops in same controller; true SIL3 SIS typically separate FPL (Failsafe Programmable Logic) or separate S800 SIS node — consult ABB SIS guideline
- Certifications: Same as PM866 + IEC 61508/ IEC 61511certification documentation available for SIL context
- Firmware: Control Builder M 5.1+ / 6.x (match version)
- Functional Features / Application / Material / Structure / Working Principle / Installation / Precautions:
- Same application programming model as PM865/866 — direct code port
- Enhanced diagnostics readable via 800xA — memory parity error, watchdog self-test failure → Fault LED + controller safe state per config
- For SIL-rated loops: ensure SRS specifies SIL target, use S800 SIL I/O (DI880/DO880), configure OSP & loop supervision, perform proof-test per SRS
- Precaution: PM891 redundant pair must be identical firmware & memory option. Do NOT mix PM891 with PM866/PM865 in same rack. Firmware/CB M version compatibility critical — SIL documentation may require specific FW version — record FW version in SIS documentation.
