The Main Logic Control Board (CPU Board) for ABB / Power-One Aurora TRIO 20.0 kW is the central electronic unit responsible for the complete control and management of the three-phase photovoltaic inverter.
This board acts as the processing core of the system, coordinating all operational functions including energy conversion, electrical parameter monitoring, communication handling, and safety protection management.
It integrates advanced microcontrollers and DSP-based digital circuits, executing real-time algorithms for MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking), grid synchronization, and control of the DC/AC power stages.
Through its interfaces, the logic board communicates with all internal modules (power stage, AC filter boards, relay boards) as well as external monitoring and supervision systems.
⚙️ Main Functions
- Centralized inverter control
- MPPT algorithm management
- Supervision of DC/AC conversion process
- Monitoring of voltage, current, and frequency
