ABB CI868K01-eA 3BSE048845R2 Module

Technical Parameters:

System Compatibility: Dedicated CEX-Bus expansion interface module designed for AC 800M controllers running ABB System 800xA and Compact Control Builder environments.

Communication Standard: Fully compliant with the IEC 61850 substation automation protocol standard for station bus communication (GOOSE messaging and MMS client/server communication).

Ethernet Interfaces: Dual RJ45 Ethernet ports supporting 10/100 Mbit/s speed with full-duplex communication and network redundancy protocols.

Processing & Memory: High-performance embedded micro-controller with dedicated Flash and RAM dedicated to processing real-time IEC 61850 protocol stacks without burdening the primary CPU.

System Capacity: Supports up to 12 CEX-Bus interface modules per AC 800M controller base unit.

Operating Voltage & Power: Powered directly via the AC 800M CEX-Bus at 24 V DC (nominal current consumption approximately 160–200 mA).

Conformal Coating & Rating: IP20 protection class with ISA 71.04 G3 compliant harsh environment conformal coating for corrosion protection in demanding substation atmospheres.

Operating Thermal Range: Standard operating envelope from +5°C to +55°C (storage thermal range: -40°C to +70°C).

Kit Assembly: Kit typically includes the CI868 communication interface board, TP868 baseplate, and bus connection elements.

Physical Profile: Standard vertical CEX-Bus module form factor measuring 59 mm (W) x 185 mm (H) x 127.5 mm (D) with a net weight of approximately 0.55 kg.

Industrial Sectors:

Electric Power Generation and Utilities, Power Substation Automation, Oil and Gas Refining, Petrochemical Processing, Heavy Metallurgy and Mining, and Utility Grid Automation.

Application Scenarios:

1. Substation Automation & Protection IED Integration: Mounted on the AC 800M CEX-Bus to connect Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), protection relays, and circuit breakers into the main System 800xA control network via IEC 61850 GOOSE and MMS messages.

2. Electrical Control System (ECS) Integration: Deployed in large power plants and industrial facilities to integrate electrical distribution systems with process control automation, enabling unified monitoring of power and process loops.

3. High-Speed Inter-Device Interlocking: Utilized to transmit time-critical GOOSE peer-to-peer signals between substation trip devices and the central DCS controller for fast emergency load shedding and protective tripping.

4. Smart Grid & Renewable Plant Substation Networking: Installed in wind farm and solar plant collector substations to transmit power flow parameters, relay diagnostics, and breaker status messages to regional SCADA master platforms.
