Description
Product Overview
The ABB XUD150B02 3BHE017012R0002 is an AC 800PEC CEX-Bus interface card configured with an RS-422 serial interface. ABB’s XU D150 datasheet distinguishes the B02 variant from the B01 version: B02 is the RS-422 model, while B01 uses RS-232. This distinction matters when maintaining older power-electronics control installations, where the serial interface, cable assembly, and connected process panel must match the original design. The card is not a general-purpose analog or digital I/O module; it provides interface and supporting control functions within the AC 800PEC architecture.
Beyond its serial connection, the XU D150 interface card provides CEX-Bus-related functions, including a real-time clock, nonvolatile EEPROM for identification and data storage, and watchdog supervision. The watchdog monitors a toggle signal associated with the PEC800 controller and can initiate shutdown of optical-module transmitters if a controller failure is detected. The published datasheet also describes a 25-pin female SUB-D CEX-Bus connector, a +24 V supply output for CEX-Bus slave modules, and a stated minimum potential separation of 1 kV DC. These features support the card’s role within the configured control system, but they do not establish compatibility with every AC 800PEC installation.
For procurement, the ABB XUD150B02 3BHE017012R0002 should be matched against the existing board’s full order code and serial-interface configuration. Do not substitute the B01 RS-232 version solely because the model numbers are similar. Check the connector and cable arrangement, panel interface, hardware revision, and relevant control-system documentation before installation. The datasheet identifies an operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C for the card. If the item is being purchased as New Surplus, confirm the physical label, storage condition, inspection history, and whether any functional test has been performed. A correct order code is essential, but it does not replace system-level verification.
Product Introduction (Non-Templated)
A serial-interface mismatch can prevent an otherwise serviceable control system from communicating with its process panel. ABB XUD150B02 3BHE017012R0002 is the RS-422 version of the AC 800PEC XU D150 CEX-Bus interface card; the related B01 variant is the RS-232 version.
For a legacy replacement, confirm the serial standard, connector and cable arrangement, and the installed CEX-Bus configuration before ordering. The B02 designation is the key distinction to preserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB XUD150B02 3BHE017012R0002 used for?
It is an RS-422 CEX-Bus interface card for ABB AC 800PEC control hardware. Its documented functions include serial interfacing, real-time clock support, EEPROM-based identification and storage, and watchdog supervision.
What is the difference between and XUD150B01?
The key difference is the serial interface. uses RS-422, while XUD150B01 is the RS-232 variant. Confirm the installed interface and cable arrangement before ordering; the two versions should not be assumed interchangeable.
Does support RS-422 at 250 kbit/s?
Yes. The published XU datasheet specifies a maximum serial data rate of 250 kbit/s for the RS-422 interface. Confirm the connected device’s settings and the system documentation during commissioning.
Can I hot-swap this card while the AC 800PEC system is running?
The datasheet describes hot-swap compatibility on the CEX-Bus. That statement should not be interpreted as blanket approval to remove the card in every installation. Follow the equipment-specific ABB service procedure and verify whether the installed system permits the planned replacement without shutdown.
Does the card include watchdog protection?
Yes. The datasheet describes watchdog supervision of a toggle signal associated with the PEC800 controller. On a detected controller failure, the card can initiate shutdown of the optical-module transmitters. The actual behavior should be checked against the configured system and applicable documentation.
What operating temperature range is specified?
The XU datasheet lists an operating range of -25°C to +70°C. Confirm the environmental requirements for the complete cabinet and installation, not just the card.
How should I verify a New Surplus before purchase?
Request photographs showing the complete order code 3BHE017012R0002, the designation, connectors, and revision markings. Ask whether the card has been tested and whether inspection records are available. Also confirm that the supplied unit is the RS-422 variant rather than the RS-232 B01 model.
Procurement Takeaway
The decisive specification for ABB 3BHE017012R0002 is its RS-422 serial interface. ABB’s XU datasheet distinguishes it from the RS-232 B01 version and documents its CEX-Bus, real-time clock, EEPROM, and watchdog functions. Match the full order code and cable/interface configuration before approving a replacement.
