ABB PPC905AE101 3BHE014070R0101 | CCB-2 Control Board

Description

Key Technical Specifications

The most useful technical point for procurement is the software requirement. Available ABB-derived product information states that the CCB-2 board is not supplied with software, and that an ABB service engineer must download the appropriate software. It also states that an upgrade from an old CCB board to the newer CCB type requires software upgrades in both the CCB and AMC boards.

An ABB procurement document independently identifies 3BHE014070R0101 as “PP C905 AE101: CCB2 – PCB VARNISHED,” which supports the board-level CCB-2 identification.

Application Scenarios & Pain Points

A CCB replacement on an ACS 6000 is one of those jobs where a physically identical board can still fail the commissioning test. The hardware may be correct, yet the project-specific software package can be wrong or missing.

• ACS 6000 medium-voltage drives: The PPC905AE101 belongs to the CCB-2 control architecture used in compatible ACS 6000 installations. The product record specifically identifies it as COMPLETE.
• Legacy drive maintenance: Useful where an installed board has suffered component failure, communication problems, or age-related degradation and the plant needs to keep an existing drive in service.
• CCB board replacement: Particularly relevant when the existing board is being replaced rather than performing a complete drive-control migration.
• ACS6000c upgrade work: Extra care is required here. Available technical information states that each ACS6000c project has a unique CCB/AMC loading package.

Field note: If the old board is still partially functional, capture its identification and software/configuration information before removing it. A spare sitting on the shelf with the correct part number but no project loading package may not get the drive back into service.

Related Products

• ABB 3BHE056573R0101 — Listed as the newer replacement Product ID for the hardware represented by 3BHE014070R0101. Migration and software requirements should be checked before substitution.
• ABB 3BHE007599R0101 — Previous CCB-related Product ID associated with the PPC905AE101 replacement chain. Useful when tracing legacy ACS 6000 documentation or older BOMs.
• ABB HIEE300931R0001 — Another previous identification associated with the same CCB replacement history. It can help when reconciling older equipment documentation.
• ABB PPC905AE101 3BHE014070R0101 — Exact board requested here. Use the complete Product ID when sourcing an exact replacement.
• ABB AMC board — The companion control hardware is important during CCB upgrades because the available technical documentation states that both the CCB and AMC software may require updating. This is a supporting component, not a direct replacement.
• ABB ACS 6000 — The relevant medium-voltage drive platform. The CCB board must be matched to the particular drive project and control configuration.
• ABB newer replacement family — Relevant when the original PPC905AE101 is no longer the preferred hardware for a migration project. Do not assume the newer board can simply inherit the old software image.

The Engineer’s Guide: Field Pitfalls to Avoid

⚠️ Do not treat PPC905AE101 as a generic 16-DI/16-DO module.

Several secondary product pages describe this part as a digital I/O module, but the stronger part-number evidence identifies 3BHE014070R0101 as COMPLETE.

How to avoid it: Use + 3BHE014070R0101 + as the procurement identification, and verify the installed board label.

⚠️ Do not install the board and assume the software will follow automatically.

The available technical information explicitly states that the board is supplied without software.

How to avoid it: Before the shutdown, identify the correct project loading package and establish who will perform the software download.

⚠️ Do not mix CCB board types casually within the same project.

The technical record states that each ACS6000c project has a unique CCB/AMC loading package and advises against installing different CCB types in the same project.

How to avoid it: Record the existing CCB type, AMC configuration, software revision, and project identification before approving a replacement or upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is ABB 3BHE014070R0101?

It is an ABB complete control board, with ABB Type Designation V PP C905 AE101 and Product ID 3BHE014070R0101. Available ABB procurement documentation identifies the board as CCB2 – PCB VARNISHED.

Is an ABB digital I/O module?

The evidence does not support treating it as a conventional digital I/O module. Some secondary listings make that claim, but the more specific product records identify 3BHE014070R0101 as COMPLETE.

For procurement, the identification should take priority.

What equipment uses 3BHE014070R0101?

The part is associated with ABB ACS 6000 medium-voltage drive control hardware, particularly the architecture. The available technical record discusses its use in ACS6000c projects.

Does the replacement board include software?

Not necessarily—and the available product information specifically says the board is not provided with software. The appropriate software must be downloaded for the project.

This is a major procurement point. Ask whether the quoted item is hardware-only and whether software loading support is included separately.

Can 3BHE056573R0101 replace 3BHE014070R0101?

3BHE056573R0101 is identified as the replacement Product ID, but that does not mean a blind hardware swap is appropriate. The CCB/AMC software configuration and project-specific loading package must be checked before migration.

What should I verify when buying a replacement?

Check:

1. marking.
2. 3BHE014070R0101 Product ID.
3. identification.
4. PCB revision and physical condition.
5. Existing ACS 6000 drive configuration.
6. CCB software revision/loading package.
7. Associated AMC board configuration.
8. Whether the board has been functionally tested.
9. Whether software loading is included or excluded.
10. Whether the supplied unit is the exact CCB version required by the project.
