The PM851K01 (3BSE018168R1) serves as a high-performance central processing unit within the ABB AC 800M controller family. It is designed to execute complex control strategies, manage industrial communication protocols, and interface seamlessly with the S800 I/O system.
The “K01” designation indicates a complete kit version, typically including the processor unit, baseplate, and required mounting components for immediate DIN-rail installation.
Equipped with integrated Ethernet ports and serial interfaces, the PM851K01 supports industrial communication protocols such as MMS and PROFINET (via configuration and system integration). The rugged aluminum enclosure functions as a passive heat sink, eliminating the need for forced-air cooling in standard industrial environments and enhancing long-term reliability.

The PM851K01 is widely deployed within System 800xA environments for mid-range automation tasks, including:
Water and wastewater treatment control
Industrial HVAC and building automation
Secondary process control in petrochemical plants
Utility and energy distribution subsystems
It provides reliable real-time logic execution for systems that require solid performance without full CPU redundancy.
Compared to the PM860 series, the PM851K01 offers a cost-effective entry solution for applications that do not require controller redundancy.
While it maintains full compatibility with Control Builder M and the AC 800M firmware architecture, it is optimized for:
Lower I/O counts
Moderate communication loads
Less memory-intensive control strategies
For high-availability or redundant CPU architectures, the PM86x series is recommended.
