The ABB CI873A is an EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet communication interface module that connects AC 800M automation controllers to industrial field devices. Serving as a network master, it provides high-speed data exchange, hardware module redundancy, and hot-swapping capabilities to keep plant processes running

Overview

Description

The CI873A is an AC 800M communication interface that connects to external Ethernet devices using the EtherNet/IP protocol. The TP867 Baseplate has two RJ45 Ethernet connectors, but only the CH1 connector that supports 100Mbps is used. The CI873 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 CI873A module will only work with System 800xA 6.0.3.3, 6.1.1 and subsequent versions. The CI873A support 6 redundant pairs of CI873A from 5.1 FP4.

Key Benefits

  • Supports Ethernet/IP and Device Net protocols
  • Support 6 redundant pairs of CI873A from 5.1 FP4
