ABB+CI867 3BSE043661R1

Description

The ABB CI867 module (part number 3BSE043661R1) is part of the ABB 800xA Distributed Control System (DCS) and plays a key role in communication and control within industrial automation systems.

Product Name:

• ABB CI867 3BSE043661R1

Product Description:

• The CI867 is a communication interface module designed for integration into ABB’s 800xA and 5xx-series controllers and systems. It is specifically used to enable high-speed communication between ABB systems and other third-party systems or networks using industrial protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, and other standard communication protocols.
• It acts as a communication bridge, allowing for seamless data exchange between ABB controllers and external devices like PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers), HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces), SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, and other field devices.
• The CI867 is primarily used in systems requiring the integration of non-ABB devices or systems, ensuring interoperability in modern industrial environments.

Product Parameters and Specifications:

1. Type: Communication Interface Module
2. Communication Protocols Supported:
   • Modbus RTU (RS485) for serial communication
   • Modbus TCP/IP for Ethernet communication
   • OPC and BACnet support (depending on configuration)
3. Network Connections:
   • One or more RS485 serial communication ports (for Modbus RTU)
   • One Ethernet port (for Modbus TCP/IP communication)
4. Bus System: Integrated into ABB’s 800xA DCS and can be used with other industrial automation systems with compatible protocols.
5. Power Supply:
   • Typically powered through the 800xA controller’s backplane, with voltage requirements ranging from 24 VDC (depending on specific system configuration).
6. Compatibility: Works with ABB’s 800xA, Freelance, and other compatible systems for communication purposes.
7. I/O Support:
   • Acts as an intermediary for transmitting I/O signals between ABB controllers and external devices (e.g., third-party PLCs).
8. Mounting: Designed for mounting in the 800xA controller’s chassis (may require specific backplane slots or configurations depending on the overall system setup).

Typical Use:

• Integration of Non-ABB Systems: The CI867 is used to connect ABB controllers to third-party systems that communicate via Modbus or other common industrial protocols.
• Process Automation: In industries like oil & gas, chemical processing, manufacturing, and utilities, it is crucial for connecting different equipment and systems for centralized monitoring and control.
• Remote I/O Networks: It can facilitate communication between distributed I/O systems or remote devices and central ABB control systems, enabling more extensive control over large, distributed setups.
• Data Communication in Industrial Networks: The CI867 module serves as a key component in ensuring reliable data transmission between industrial systems, thus enabling smooth operation of critical industrial processes.
• System Upgrades and Interfacing: When upgrading or expanding existing automation systems, the CI867 can help bridge new systems with legacy equipment, ensuring continuity of operations.

Key Benefits:

• Flexibility: Supports a wide range of communication protocols, making it highly adaptable to various industrial environments.
• Seamless Integration: It provides easy integration with third-party devices, enhancing the scalability of automation systems.
• Reliability: As part of ABB’s proven 800xA series, it is built to meet industrial standards for durability and high performance in mission-critical applications.
