The code PP836 3BSE042237R1 refers to an **operator panel** manufactured by ABB, most likely designed for their **Panel 800 control system**. Here's a breakdown of the information you might find:

**Function:**

* PP836 is a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) component similar to PP835A we discussed earlier. It provides an interface for operators to interact with the Panel 800 control system. This interaction might include:
    * Monitoring system status and process variables.
    * Issuing control commands through buttons or switches.
    * Viewing data through alphanumeric displays or basic visual indicators.

**Features (Possible):**

* Compared to PP835A's touchscreen interface, PP836 might have a simpler design with:
    * Physical buttons or keypads for control input.
    * Alphanumeric displays (LED or LCD) for showing data and messages.
    * Status indicator lights for providing visual feedback.
* May offer communication capabilities to connect with the Panel 800 controller.

**Applications:**

* PP836 is likely used in industrial automation applications where a simpler HMI is sufficient, such as:
    * Controlling subsystems within a larger automation system.
    * Monitoring specific process parameters or equipment status.
    * Providing basic control functions for operators.

**Finding Information:**

While information about the specific PP836 model might be limited due to potential obsolescence, here are some resources for your search:

* **ABB Website:** Search the ABB website ([https://new.abb.com/en](https://new.abb.com/en)) for "PP836" or browse their HMI product categories for Panel 800. You might find product lines with similar functionalities that can provide clues about PP836's features.
* **Used Parts Suppliers:** Some online retailers specializing in used industrial automation equipment might list the PP836 with limited details or user manuals (proceed with caution regarding accuracy).

**Additional Notes:**

* The "3BSE042237R1" part of the code likely represents a specific revision or variant of the PP836 model.
* Working with industrial control systems often requires knowledge of automation principles and potentially specific HMI programming tools used with the Panel 800 system.
