The CI867A is an Ethernet communication interface that connects the ABB AC 800M controller to external devices using the Modbus TCP protocol. It supports reliable data exchange over a 100 Mbps Ethernet connection via an Ethernet switch.

Overview

Description

MODBUS TCP is an open industry standard widely spread due to its ease of use. It is a request-response protocol and offers services specified by function codes. MODBUS TCP combines the MODBUS RTU with standard Ethernet and the universal networking standard TCP. It is an application-layer messaging protocol, positioned at level 7 of the OSI model. The CI867A/TP867 is used for connection between an AC 800M controller and external Ethernet devices using Modbus TCP protocol. The CI867 expansion unit contains the CEX-Bus logic, a communication unit, and a DC/DC converter that supplies appropriate voltages from the +24 V supply via the CEX-Bus. The Ethernet cable must be connected to the main network through an Ethernet switch. The CI867A only uses one Ethernet port (100 Mbit/s) compared with the earlier CI867, where two Ethernet ports could be used (100 Mbit/s and 10 Mbit/s).

Key Benefits

  • The CI867A can be set redundant and supports hot swap.
  • CI867A is a single channel Ethernet unit; Ch1 supports full duplex with 100 Mbps speed.
  • Both master and slave functionality are supported.
  • A maximum of 70 slave and 8 master units per CI867A can be used.
