ABB CI854AK01 3BSE030220R1 PROFIBUS-DP/V1 Communication Interface Module

Functional Features

• Dual PROFIBUS-DP Ports for Redundancy: Equipped with two independent PROFIBUS-DP ports to enable line redundancy; if one port fails, the other automatically takes over to avoid communication interruptions.
• PROFIBUS-DP-V1 Compliance: Supports DP-V1 extended functions, including acyclic data exchange (for device parameter configuration and diagnosis) and alarm handling, meeting complex control requirements.
• Backplane Integration with AC 800M: Directly interfaces with the AC 800M controller’s backplane (CEX bus), eliminating the need for external wiring and ensuring low-latency data transmission between the controller and field devices.
• Hot-Swappable Design: Supports hot swapping (under normal system operation); modules can be replaced or maintained without shutting down the entire automation system, reducing downtime.
• Built-In Diagnostics: Features real-time self-diagnosis and fault reporting; front-panel LED indicators (power, communication status, fault) provide visual status monitoring, and diagnostic data is transmitted to the 800xA platform for remote troubleshooting.
• Wide Compatibility: Works with all ABB S800 I/O modules, third-party PROFIBUS-DP slave devices, and legacy ABB Advant OCS systems, enabling smooth upgrade of existing automation infrastructure.
• Secure Configuration: Supports password protection for module parameters to prevent unauthorized modification; configuration is done via ABB Control Builder M software, ensuring consistency with AC 800M system settings.

Application Scenarios

• Process Automation Industries: Used in petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, and pharmaceutical plants to connect field devices (such as flow meters, pressure transmitters, and control valves) to the AC 800M controller, enabling real-time monitoring and closed-loop control of production processes.
• Discrete Manufacturing: Applied in automotive assembly lines, electronic component production lines, and machinery manufacturing to coordinate communication between robots, conveyors, and vision systems, improving production line synchronization and efficiency.
• Power Sector: Integrated into power plant DCS (distributed control systems) and substation automation systems to connect protective relays, smart meters, and switchgear, ensuring stable data transmission for power generation and distribution.
• Water and Wastewater Treatment: Used in sewage treatment plants and water supply systems to link pumps, aerators, and water quality sensors to the control system, realizing automated operation of treatment processes.
• Marine Automation: Adapted to harsh marine environments (with optional anti-corrosion treatments) to connect navigation equipment, engine control units, and cargo handling systems on ships, ensuring reliable communication under vibration and humidity.
• Legacy System Upgrades: Serves as a bridge for upgrading ABB Advant OCS systems to AC 800M/800xA platforms, retaining existing PROFIBUS-DP field devices and reducing upgrade costs.
