BRC300 High performance bridge controller

1、 Product Overview
BRC300 ABB is a new generation online control and management module launched by ABB, mainly used for online control and management, and is one of the main devices in the Symphony system. It is an upgraded product of the previous generation bridge controller BRC100, with faster computation speed and stronger processing capability. The BRC300 uses the most advanced MCF5407 CPU chip as its core, greatly improving the performance of the Symphony system controller.
2、 Technical features
High performance processor:
The BRC300 adopts a 32-bit wide CPU based on Coldfire V4 and a RISC architecture CPU, achieving a computing performance of up to 257 MIPS (Dhnystone 2.1). This enables BRC300 to efficiently execute various complex control algorithms and data processing tasks.
a large capacity memory:
The BRC300 is equipped with various types of memory, including read-only memory (ROM), shared memory (SRAM), and non-volatile memory (NVRAM). These memories are used to store copies of operating system instruction sets, temporary files, and system configurations, as well as function code configurations and user applications. The battery backup function of NVRAM ensures that user configuration policies are saved for a long time.
Redundant configuration:
BRC300 supports redundant configuration, utilizing redundant modules of the same configuration to provide high availability and fault tolerance performance. When the main module fails, the hot standby module will automatically switch and be online to ensure that the control process is not interrupted.
High speed communication capability:
BRC300 supports multiple communication protocols and interfaces, such as Modbus, Profibus, etc., making it easy to interconnect with other devices. At the same time, it also supports remote monitoring and diagnostic functions, making it convenient for users to understand the operating status of the device at any time.
Multi task parallel operation:
BRC300 adopts a multitasking parallel operation mode, which can simultaneously execute multiple control tasks and data acquisition tasks. This design enables BRC300 to adapt well to data intensive and program intensive process control application requirements.
Rich control language support:
BRC300 supports multiple types of control languages, such as function codes, Ladder, Batch, C, Basic, etc. This allows users to choose the appropriate control language to write control strategies based on their actual needs.
3、 Application Fields
BRC300 ABB is widely used in various aspects of industrial automation control systems, such as data acquisition, signal processing, equipment control, etc. It is particularly suitable for control applications that require high performance, high reliability, and high flexibility, such as industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, metallurgy, and power.
4、 Summary
BRC300 ABB, as a high-performance bridge controller, plays an important role in industrial automation control systems due to its powerful processing capabilities, high-speed communication capabilities, redundant configuration, and multitasking parallel operations. It can not only meet various complex control requirements, but also ensure the stability and reliability of the system.

With the progress of society and the development of technology, people’s demand for energy is increasing. However, the existing energy is limited, and people need to constantly develop new energy sources. Solar energy is a good choice, and people are vigorously developing solar power generation. Swiss power and automation expert ABB issued a statement at its headquarters stating that it has completed its strategic retreat from the solar inverter field, divesting its solar inverter business to Italian company Fimer. The transaction was first announced in July 2019.

Current situation of ABB solar energy
In another statement on Monday, Italian buyer FIMER stated that the transfer of solar inverter assets, including the business acquired by ABB from Power One in 2013, has made FIMER the fourth largest global supplier of solar inverters.

Last year, due to declining revenue and intensified competition from Chinese competitors offering low prices, ABB proved it was reasonable to exit the solar inverter market.

Therefore, according to the terms of the transaction, ABB will actually pay up to $430 million in fees to divest the business unit. From now until 2025, three-quarters of this amount should be paid to FIMER. In addition, ABB has confirmed a spin off fee of $40 million so far.

In a statement last July, both ABB and FIMER will strive to ensure a “smooth transition” for customers and the 800 employees currently employed by the department in over 30 countries/regions.

However, as FIMER integrates it into its own solar inverter business, there are no signs of layoffs yet.

This week, ABB stated that the transaction will enable the company’s electrification business unit to primarily focus on priority growth markets. Tarak Mehta, the president of the department, described it as’ another step in our strategy ‘.

Mehta continued by saying that ABB has not completely abandoned solar energy. ABB will continue to integrate solar energy into a range of solutions for smart buildings, energy storage, and electric vehicle charging across its entire range of intelligent low and medium voltage products

Buyer FIMER commented on this transaction, stating that the acquisition of ABB subsidiary will expand its business globally. The merged business will have three manufacturing factories and two research and development centers, with an expected inverter shipment volume of over 7GW in 2020.

The Italian company also stated that it will seek to leverage ABB’s research and development capabilities to promote the development of advanced technologies related to solar inverters, blockchain, and “cutting-edge micro products”. Like microgrids, the sustained growth of distributed solar energy is expected to bring opportunities for the merged company.

FIMER CEO Filippo Carzaniga stated that the company’s “next level strategy” focuses on the development opportunities of solar photovoltaics and their “core role” in the transition to clean energy, and therefore has decided to consolidate its solar inverter business through acquisitions.

Carzaniga said, “We firmly believe that this significant expansion of our product will represent another step forward in serving all customers in all segments of the photovoltaic market and will enhance our position in an exceptionally competitive field

The CEO added, “The scale and importance of the solar energy business have grown rapidly in the past few years, and we believe this is a huge opportunity for us to create customer value and business growth. Currently, solar energy has not been better utilized by humans, and researchers need to continue to work hard to develop more efficient products in order to ensure that our human energy meets the needs of human development.
