ABB+CI858K01 CI858-1

Description

The ABB CI858K01 (also referred to as CI858-1) is a DriveBus interface module used within ABB’s AC 800M control system platform. It facilitates communication between the AC 800M controller and ABB drives and specialized I/O units.  

Product Name:

ABB CI858K01 DriveBus Interface Module

Product Description:

• The CI858K01 module acts as a communication gateway, enabling the AC 800M controller to exchange data with ABB drives (like ACS800, ACS850) and special I/O units via the DriveBus protocol.  
• DriveBus is a high-speed serial communication protocol designed specifically for drive applications, offering efficient data transfer and real-time performance.
• This module is essential in applications where precise control and coordination of multiple drives are required, such as in rolling mills, paper machines, and other industrial processes.

Product Parameters and Specifications:

• Article Number: 3BSE018135R1  
• Communication Protocol: DriveBus
• Number of Channels: 1
• Communication Speed: 40 Mbit/s
• Maximum Number of Drives: Up to 24 ABB drives can be connected to one CI858K01.  
• Maximum Number of CI858K01 per AC 800M Controller: 2
• Hot Swap: Supported
• Power Supply: Powered by the processor unit via the CEX-Bus (no external power source required).
• Connector: Typically uses D-sub connectors for DriveBus connections.
• Baseplate: Requires a baseplate (e.g., TP858) for mounting and connection to the system.
• Weight (including base): Approximately 0.55 kg

Product Use:

The primary function of the CI858K01 is to enable communication between the AC 800M controller and ABB drives. This communication is crucial for:

• Drive Control: Sending commands to the drives (e.g., start, stop, speed setpoint, torque control).
• Status Monitoring: Receiving feedback from the drives (e.g., speed, current, torque, fault status).
• Data Exchange: Transferring process data between the controller and the drives.
• Synchronization: Coordinating the operation of multiple drives in complex applications.

Applications:

• Rolling Mills: Synchronizing multiple drives to control the rolling process.
• Paper Machines: Coordinating drives for different sections of the paper machine.
• Printing Presses: Controlling multiple drives for precise printing operations.
• Material Handling: Synchronizing drives for conveyor systems and other material handling equipment.
• Other Industrial Processes: Any application requiring coordinated control of multiple ABB drives.

Key Features and Benefits:

• High-Speed Communication: DriveBus offers fast and efficient data transfer for demanding drive applications.
• Seamless Integration: Enables easy integration of ABB drives into AC 800M control systems.
• Hot Swappable: Allows for module replacement without interrupting the system.
• Robust and Reliable: Designed for industrial environments.
