ABB BRC400 P-HC-BRC-40000000 Bridge Controller is part of the ABB family of bridge control systems. These systems are typically used in marine and offshore applications to control bridge operations. Designed for high reliability and safety, the BRC400 controller provides precise control of bridge motion, positioning and integration with wider automation and monitoring systems.

The BRC400 bridge controller manages all aspects of bridge control, including opening, closing and securing of bridges. It provides high-precision control for automated or semi-automated bridge operations. Typical bridge functions controlled include positioning, speed and safety interlocks.

The P-HC designation refers to the specific configuration of the controller, indicating that it is designed for high-reliability applications, which are common in critical infrastructure such as oil rigs, ports and maritime applications. The BRC400 is designed with high-reliability features to ensure safety and uptime. It is built to withstand harsh conditions, including marine environments where equipment failure could result in safety risks or operational downtime.

The BRC400 can be integrated with a wider range of automation systems, including supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems or human-machine interface (HMI) systems. This enables operators to remotely monitor and control bridge operations and ensure the bridge is operating within safety parameters.
