ABB CI626 3BSE012868R1 COMMUNICATION BOARD

Technical Parameters:

System Compatibility: Submodule expansion interface card designed for direct installation into ABB Advant Controller racks (such as AC 400 series / AC 450) and MasterBus communication units within ABB System 800xA and Advant OCS architectures.

Communication Protocol: MasterBus 300 (MB300) and MasterFieldbus protocol support, engineered for high-speed deterministic peer-to-peer data synchronization across process control nodes.

Physical Interface: Coaxial or high-speed serial bus interface connection points via dedicated controller backplane assemblies.

Data Transmission Speed: High-speed 10 Mbit/s deterministic data transfer rate optimized for real-time control loops and event-driven process telemetry.

Network Capacity & Nodes: Coordinates peer-to-peer dataset communications between Advant Controller 400 series, Advant Controller 160, and legacy MasterPiece controllers.

Redundancy Support: Built-in support for dual-channel cable redundancy, ensuring continuous network communication during single line cable faults.

Operating Power Supply: Sourced internally from the host backplane rails (5 V DC and 24 V DC system supply).

Diagnostic Telemetry: Integrated onboard LED status indicators displaying active power, board operational health, bus traffic, and channel fault alerts.

Environmental & Thermal Specs: Industrial-grade circuit board with IP20 enclosure protection when rack-mounted; operating thermal range from 0°C to +55°C (storage thermal range: -40°C to +70°C).

Physical Profile: Standard MasterBus circuit board form factor engineered for dedicated CPU/communication card expansion slots, with a net weight of approximately 0.45 kg.

Industrial Sectors:

Chemical and Petrochemical Processing, Oil and Gas Refining, Power Generation and Utilities, Pulp and Paper Manufacturing, Heavy Metallurgy and Mining, and Continuous Process Automation Facilities.

Application Scenarios:

1. High-Speed Inter-Controller Synchronization: Installed in host Advant Controller racks to maintain real-time dataset exchange, safety interlocks, and critical process parameters between central controller nodes.

2. Legacy DCS Infrastructure Upgrades: Applied during phased automation modernizations to integrate existing MasterBus 300 communication links into upgraded System 800xA control loops without altering field wiring.

3. Centralized Process Telemetry & SCADA Interfacing: Serves as the primary communication bridge to aggregate field data, alarms, and system health status from distributed control nodes for transmission to upper-level operator workstations.

4. Redundant Process Fieldbus Architecture: Deployed in critical process control environments requiring dual-line redundant communication channels to ensure uninterrupted operation in the event of primary network line failure.
