Product Overview
The ABB YPQ201 is a modular,mid-range programmable logic controller(PLC)engineered for medium-scale industrial automation and integrated production line control.As a key offering in ABB’s scalable PLC portfolio,it bridges the gap between entry-level all-in-one controllers(like the YPK112A)and high-end process controllers,delivering advanced logic processing,flexible modular I/O,and multi-layer connectivity—designed for systems requiring both complexity and adaptability.Unlike compact all-in-one PLCs with fixed I/O,the ABB YPQ201 features a modular architecture that allows custom configuration of digital,analog,and specialty I/O modules,eliminating over-provisioning and supporting precise matching of control needs to hardware investment.
Designed to handle complex control tasks without sacrificing usability,the ABB YPQ201 supports advanced functions including motion control,process regulation,and distributed network synchronization—making it ideal for medium production lines,synchronized machinery clusters,and semi-automated manufacturing cells.It processes basic logic instructions at speeds up to 0.05ms,with arithmetic operations completed in 0.15ms,ensuring responsive control for time-critical applications like automated assembly lines or batch process synchronization.Natively compatible with ABB’s Automation Builder software,the PLC enables seamless programming via ladder logic(LD),function block diagram(FBD),structured text(ST),and sequential function chart(SFC)—catering to complex sequence design and process optimization.
What distinguishes the ABB YPQ201 from entry-level alternatives is its balance of performance,expandability,and smart connectivity.The base unit measures 120mm×100mm×80mm,with modular I/O modules adding only 45mm width per unit—maintaining space efficiency while supporting up to 256 I/O points.Its robust hardware design includes galvanic isolation for I/O channels,-25°C to+65°C operating temperature range,and EN 61000-6-2/4 EMI/EMC compliance—ensuring stability in extreme industrial environments with temperature fluctuations,humidity,and electrical noise.Whether deployed in automotive component manufacturing,chemical batch processing,or packaging line integration,the ABB YPQ201 delivers reliable,future-ready control that adapts to evolving production demands.

Main Features and Advantages
Modular Architecture for Customizable Control
The ABB YPQ201’s modular design enables precise configuration of I/O resources,with support for digital,analog,thermocouple,and pulse-train modules—eliminating the waste of unused I/O in fixed systems.A automotive component manufacturer leveraged this flexibility to control a gear assembly line:starting with 32 digital I/O for basic sensor/actuator control,they later added 8-channel analog modules for pressure/torque monitoring and 4-channel pulse modules for servo motor synchronization—all without replacing the base PLC.Each I/O module connects via a tool-less backplane,reducing installation time by 30%compared to bolted modular systems.The PLC’s auto-detection of new modules also streamlines upgrades,with Automation Builder automatically updating the hardware configuration.
High-Speed Processing for Complex Tasks
Equipped with a dual-core 32-bit RISC processor,the ABB YPQ201 handles advanced control logic and real-time data processing with exceptional speed.A pharmaceutical batch processing plant uses the PLC to manage 12 parallel mixing vessels:the YPQ201 processes 64 analog input signals(temperature,pH,pressure)at 10ms intervals,executes PID control loops for each vessel,and synchronizes ingredient dosing pumps—reducing batch variation by 40%compared to their previous single-core PLC.The processor’s multi-tasking capability allows simultaneous execution of control logic,communication protocols,and data logging,ensuring no latency in time-critical operations like emergency shutdown sequences(processed in<1ms).
Extreme Environmental Resilience
Engineered for harsh industrial settings,the ABB YPQ201 operates from-25°C to+65°C and features 3kV DC I/O isolation—making it suitable for unconditioned factories,outdoor equipment shelters,and chemical processing facilities.A mining equipment supplier integrated the PLC into a mobile ore sorting system:operating in desert conditions with 55°C daytime temperatures and-15°C nights,the YPQ201 maintained continuous performance for 18 months without downtime.Its EN 61000-6-2 immunity rating protects against electromagnetic interference from nearby crushers and conveyors,eliminating false triggers that previously disrupted sorting cycles.The supercapacitor-backed retentive memory preserves batch data and machine states during power outages,enabling seamless restart without product loss.
Multi-Protocol Connectivity for Smart Integration
The ABB YPQ201 supports Profinet IO,Ethernet/IP,and Modbus TCP/RTU,enabling seamless integration with ABB’s HMI panels,variable speed drives(VSDs),and third-party automation components.A beverage bottling plant paired the PLC with 12 ABB ACS880 VSDs(via Profinet)and an ABB CP650 HMI:the YPQ201 synchronizes bottle filling,capping,and labeling speeds in real time,with production data transmitted to an 800xA SCADA system for remote monitoring.For Industrial 4.0 initiatives,the PLC includes built-in OPC UA server functionality,allowing secure data exchange with cloud-based analytics platforms—helping a food manufacturer reduce unplanned downtime by 25%through predictive maintenance alerts.The RS485 port also enables integration with legacy equipment,extending the life of existing sensors and actuators.
Application Field
The ABB YPQ201 excels in medium-scale automation across industries,particularly automotive manufacturing,chemical processing,pharmaceutical production,and advanced packaging—where modularity,speed,and connectivity are critical.
In automotive manufacturing,the PLC controls synchronized assembly lines.A tier-1 supplier uses the YPQ201 to manage a dashboard assembly cell:modular I/O modules connect to robotic arms(via Profinet),torque wrenches(analog inputs),and conveyor sensors(digital inputs),while the PLC executes SFC programs to coordinate part feeding,fastening,and quality checks.The system’s expandability allowed the supplier to add a vision inspection station later,simply integrating a specialty I/O module without reconfiguring the base controller.
In chemical processing,the YPQ201 handles batch and continuous processes.A specialty chemical plant employs the PLC to control 8 reactor vessels:analog modules monitor temperature and pressure,while the PLC runs PID loops to adjust heating/cooling and chemical dosing.Its ATEX certification enables deployment in hazardous areas,and DNP3.0 protocol support allows data transmission to a central SCADA system for regulatory compliance logging.
In pharmaceutical production,the PLC ensures GMP-compliant control.A vaccine manufacturer uses the YPQ201 for a filling and sealing line:the PLC synchronizes peristaltic pumps(via pulse outputs)and tracks vial counts(retentive memory),with OPC UA connectivity transmitting batch data to a cloud-based compliance platform.The PLC’s galvanic isolation prevents electrical interference from affecting sensitive weighing sensors,reducing filling errors by 30%.
