3BSE092693R1 | CI871A | ABB System 800xA PROFINET Module

Product Description

The CI871A (Part Number: 3BSE092693R1) is a high-performance communication interface module designed to integrate ABB AC 800M controllers with PROFINET IO networks. As a master-capable unit, the CI871A (3BSE092693R1) facilitates seamless data exchange between the controller and distributed I/O devices via 100 Mbps Ethernet. This module is essential for modern industrial automation setups requiring the high speed and versatility of the PROFINET protocol within the System 800xA environment.

The hardware architecture of the CI871 (Model: CI871A) includes specialized CEX-Bus logic and an internal DC/DC converter. It draws power directly from the controller's +24 V supply through the CEX-Bus, eliminating the need for an external power source for the module itself. For connectivity, the unit utilizes the TP867 baseplate, which features two RJ45 ports; however, it is critical to note that only the CH1 port is utilized for the PROFINET IO 100 Mbps connection. To ensure network integrity, the Ethernet cable must be routed through an industrial Ethernet switch rather than a direct peer-to-peer connection.
