ABB CI820V1 | Redundant PROFIBUS DP Module for Automation

Product Description

ABB CI820V1 Redundant Communication Interface Module (3BSE025255R1)

The ABB CI820V1 is a fieldbus communication interface (FCI) designed to connect ABB’s S800 I/O modules to PROFIBUS DP networks. It ensures reliable and seamless operation by supporting redundant communication paths. If one communication link fails, the system automatically switches to the backup path, minimizing downtime and ensuring high availability in critical industrial applications.

This module is ideal for process industries, including power generation, oil & gas, pulp & paper, and chemical plants, where continuous and robust communication is crucial. The CI820V1 is compact and easy to mount on DIN rails, with diagnostic LEDs for quick status checks. Built to endure harsh environmental conditions, this module provides exceptional reliability and operational efficiency.
