Product Name:

ABB CI873K01 Communication Module with Redundancy Capability

Product Description:

Based on the naming convention and typical functionalities within DCS/PLC systems, the CI873K01 likely functions as a communication module with redundancy capabilities. Here’s a possible breakdown:

Communication Module:

As with previous ABB communication modules (e.g., CI543), the CI873K01 plays a crucial role in facilitating data exchange between different elements of the ABB DCS network. This ensures controllers and devices can share information for coordinated process control.
Redundancy Capability: The “K01” suffix might indicate redundancy features. In critical industrial processes, redundancy is essential to maintain operation even if one communication path or module fails. The CI873K01 could potentially support redundant communication links or have built-in fault tolerance mechanisms.

Product Parameters & Specifications:

Finding in-depth specifications online might be difficult due to potential obsolescence. Here’s what we can expect

generally:

Compatibility: The CI873K01 would likely be designed for a specific ABB DCS system and might require configuration for the target network(s).
Supported Communication Protocols: Crucial information would be the specific communication protocols the CI873K01 supports for network connectivity.
Redundancy Features: Details on the implemented redundancy mechanisms (e.g., redundant communication paths, fault tolerance) would be important. This might involve specifications like Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) or recovery times in case of failures.
