Product Role & System Fit

In many ABB drive installations (particularly older or “classic / legacy” systems), the 87TS01L (or variant 87TS01, 87TS01L-E) board serves as the logic or control card inside the drive. It is not a standalone power module, but rather a printed circuit board (PCB) that processes control commands, handles feedback signals, performs internal logic or gating, and interfaces with other drive subsystems. If you open up an ABB drive or control cabinet from earlier generations, this board typically sits in a slot or bay connected via ribbon cables or edge connectors to other modules (power, I/O, operator panel, sensors).

When your drive receives speed or torque commands (from the higher-level PLC, SCADA or operator interface), this board mediates the signal translation, fault logic, feedback processing, and protective interlocking. In other words, it’s the “brain board” inside a drive. When considering replacement or repair, compatibility with connectors, firmware version, and revision labeling is critical—connecting a board mis-matched in revision can lead to communication or functional failures. Because the 87TS01L is part of an older drive ecosystem, it’s often found in refurbished or legacy spares markets. (e.g. listings show “ABB 87TS01 GJR2368900R1545 87TS01L-E Control Board”)

In system fit, the 87TS01L is paired with power modules (IGBT stacks, rectifier modules, inverter modules), gate drive boards, power supply modules, and interface modules (HMI, fieldbus). It often resides within the drive’s electronics compartment, receives DC bus voltage reference, analog/digital feedback from sensors, and communicates command logic signals to the rest of the drive. It must align with the drive’s firmware version, peripheral boards, and cabling layout.
