Product ID: CI862K01 / CI862K02
Order Codes: 3BSE091266R1 / 3BSE091266R2
Manufacturer: ABB
Product Type: PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master Communication Interface
Series: AC 800M High-Integrity / System 800xA
Product Overview
The ABB CI862K01/02 is a high-availability PROFIBUS DP-V1 Communication Interface Module designed specifically for the ABB AC 800M High-Integrity controller family and System 800xA distributed control systems. This module acts as a powerful fieldbus master, enabling seamless integration of standard PROFIBUS devices, drives, and Remote I/O into the high-performance ABB control ecosystem.
Distinguished by its support for PROFIBUS DPV1 (Master Class 2 functionality), the CI862K01/02 allows for acyclic data exchange. This facilitates configuration, calibration, and parameterization of intelligent field devices without interrupting cyclic process data, making it ideal for complex process industries.
Key Features & Benefits
PROFIBUS Master Capability: Supports PROFIBUS DP-V0 and DP-V1 protocols, allowing connection to over 125 field devices per segment.
Redundancy Support: Fully supports Media Redundancy and Module Redundancy (CI862K02 specifically optimized for redundant configurations), ensuring maximum uptime for critical processes like Safety Instrumented Systems.
High-Integrity Compatibility: Specifically engineered for the AC 800M High-Integrity (HI) controller, meeting the demands of SIL (Safety Integrity Level) rated applications.
Acyclic Data Exchange: The DP-V1 feature allows for on-demand reading/writing of parameter data (e.g., configuring a smart transmitter) without stopping the main control loop.
Integrated Diagnostics: Features comprehensive LED indicators for module status, PROFIBUS link activity, and external error monitoring for rapid troubleshooting.
