CI687K01 3BSE043660R1 ABB CONTROLLER

Technical Parameters:

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

Communication Protocol: Ethernet-based Modbus TCP protocol (OSI Layer 7) with support for both Master (Client) and Slave (Server) operational modes.

Physical Interfaces: Dual RJ45 Ethernet ports located on the TP867 Baseplate.

Data Transmission Rates: Channel 1 supports 10/100 Mbit/s auto-negotiation (full-duplex); Channel 2 supports 10 Mbit/s (half-duplex).

Device Capacity: Supports up to 70 slave devices and up to 8 master connections per module.

System Capacity: Supports up to 12 CEX-Bus units per AC 800M controller rack.

Redundancy & Hot-Swap: Full hardware module redundancy support and online module hot-swappability without interrupting controller runtime.

Operating Power Supply: Sourced via the CEX-Bus at 24 V DC (typical current consumption: 160 mA; max power dissipation: 3.8 W).

Environmental Rating & Thermal Range: IP20 protection class; operating thermal range up to +55°C.

Physical Profile: Modular vertical form factor measuring 59 mm (W) x 186 mm (H) x 127.5 mm (D) with a net weight of approximately 0.7 kg (including baseplate).

Industrial Sectors:

Chemical and Petrochemical Processing, Oil and Gas Refining, Electric Power Generation and Utilities, Water and Wastewater Infrastructure, Metals and Heavy Mining, and Industrial Factory Automation.

Application Scenarios:

1. Third-Party Equipment Integration: Mounts on the AC 800M CEX-Bus to connect external Modbus TCP-enabled controllers, PLCs, analytical instruments, and weigh scales into the primary System 800xA control loop.

2. Motor Control Center (MCC) & VFD Networking: Serves as the Modbus TCP master interface to poll dynamic parameters, status signals, and fault diagnostics from networked variable frequency drives (VFDs) and smart motor protection relays.

3. Substation & Energy Management Telemetry: Deployed in industrial plant electrical rooms to integrate power meters, protection trips, and UPS systems into central SCADA systems.

4. Redundant Ethernet Control Loops: Applied in critical continuous process plants to provide high-availability, dual-channel Modbus TCP communication links, ensuring uninterrupted data flow during single network faults.
