CI773F 3BDH000395R0001 ABB MODULE

Technical Parameters:

System Architecture: Communication interface module designed for direct slot mounting on ABB Freelance AC 700F and AC 900F controller CPU modules.

Communication Protocol: Fully supports PROFIBUS DP-V0 and DP-V1 fieldbus specifications, as well as PROFIBUS PA via a separate PA/DP coupler.

Baud Rate & Speed: Configurable transmission speeds ranging from 9.6 kbit/s up to 12 Mbit/s with auto-sensing capabilities.

Physical Interface: 1x 9-pin D-Sub female connector (RS-485) for network segment cabling.

Redundancy Support: Supports controller redundancy; line redundancy can be achieved using an external RLM02 redundancy link module.

Hot-Swap Capability: Fully supports hot-swapping and online module replacement without interrupting CPU execution.

Operating Power Supply & Current: Sourced directly via the 24 V DC CPU terminal base with typical current consumption of 80 mA and low power dissipation (~1.6 W).

Conformal Coating & Environmental Rating: IP20 protection class; ISA 71.04 G3 compliant conformal coating for harsh environment corrosion resistance.

Operating Thermal Range: Industrial operating temperature range from -20°C to +70°C (storage thermal range: -40°C to +85°C).

Software Requirement: Requires Freelance software version 2013 SP1 or higher.

Physical Profile: Ultra-compact form factor measuring 28 mm (W) x 135 mm (H) x 75 mm (D) with a net weight of approximately 0.096 kg.

Industrial Sectors:

Chemical and Petrochemical Processing, Oil and Gas Exploration and Refining, Electric Power Generation and Utilities, Water and Wastewater Infrastructure, Pharmaceuticals, and Heavy Metallurgy.

Application Scenarios:

1. Distributed Fieldbus Network Integration: Installed on AC 700F or AC 900F controllers to manage real-time communication with PROFIBUS DP remote I/O units, smart transmitters, and actuators.

2. Process Device Parameterization & Diagnostics: Utilizes PROFIBUS DP-V1 acyclic channels to transfer instrument parameters, calibration data, and health telemetry directly into ABB Freelance Control Builder F software.

3. Motor Control Center (MCC) & VFD Networking: Connects central DCS controllers with variable frequency drives, soft starters, and overload relays across industrial facilities over high-speed PROFIBUS loops.

4. High-Availability DCS Expansion: Applied during continuous process plant modernizations to expand fieldbus communication capacity while leveraging hot-swap capabilities for zero-downtime maintenance.
