ABB UF C718 AE101 | HIEE300936R0101 | Main Circuit Interface Board

Overview

The UF C718 AE101 (Part Number HIEE300936R0101) is a high-performance main circuit interface board engineered specifically for the ABB ACS 1000 series of medium voltage AC drives. This board serves as the primary communication bridge within the drive’s internal architecture, facilitating the exchange of critical control data between the AMC (Asynchronous Multiprocessor Control) board and the power electronics. It is supplied with integrated EPLD software, ensuring high-speed logic processing and precise signal synchronization required for high-power motor control applications.

Software and Firmware Compatibility

The HIEE300936R0101 is equipped with the latest EPLD software version to support modern ACS 1000 configurations. Proper version matching is critical for system stability:

• Default Software: MSEE5110 (3BHE006667R0004)
• Backward Compatibility: Version MSEE4610 is required for use with AMC-3 boards running software version MSOC2130.
• Restriction Note: Software MSEE4610 is strictly incompatible with AMC software versions MSOC3XXX or MSOH4XXX.
• Legacy Versions: Older versions such as MSEE5010 and MSEE5020 must be specified at the time of order if required for older drive retrofits.

Application Insight

In a typical ACS 1000 drive environment, the UF C718 AE101 manages the interface between the low-voltage control section and the medium-voltage power circuit. It ensures that gate firing pulses and diagnostic feedback are transmitted with microsecond precision, preventing torque ripples and protecting the power semiconductors from unsynchronized switching.

FAQ

Q: Can I use this board to replace an old UF C718 AE01?A: Yes, the UF C718 AE101 is the direct functional replacement for the AE01 series. However, verify that the EPLD software version (Default MSEE5110) matches your drive’s AMC board firmware.

Q: Is the software pre-installed on the hardware?A: Yes, the HIEE300936R0101 is shipped with the software included and pre-loaded. Unless a specific older version is requested, it will arrive with the latest standard version.
