The ABB CI871AK01 is a high-performance PROFINET IO controller communication interface module designed for ABB AC 800M automation systems. It includes the CI871A module and TP867 baseplate, enabling real-time Ethernet data exchange over a 100 Mbps and hot-swappable redundancy with industrial field devices.

Overview

Description

The CI871A is an AC 800M communication interface that connects to the PROFINET IO devices through Ethernet. The TP867 Baseplate has two RJ45 Ethernet connectors, but only the CH1 connector that supports 100Mbps is used for PROFINET IO connection. The Ethernet cable must be connected to the PROFINET IO network through an Ethernet switch. The CI871 expansion unit contains the CEX-Bus logic, a communication unit, and a DC/DC converter that supplies the required voltage from +24 V supply through the CEX-Bus. The CI871A module will only work with System 800xA 6.0.3.3, 6.1.1 and subsequent versions

Key Benefits

  • The CI871A can be set redundant and supports hot swap.
  • Both master and slave functionality are supported.
  • Transmission speed 10/100 Mbit/s.
