ABB CI858 AF100 Communication Interface
The ABB CI858 (3BSE018136R1) Communication Interface serves as the primary CI858 interface module utilized to execute high-speed data exchange across Advant Fieldbus 100 (AF100) platforms. It facilitates seamless integration between AC 800M controllers and legacy Advant Controller 400 Series systems, functioning as a dedicated bus master to enable direct command execution and data acquisition from distributed I/O nodes.

Profinet / EtherNet/IP deterministic networks
The ABB CI858 architecture integrates deterministic communication protocols to ensure strict timing requirements across the AF100 bus. By utilizing internal firmware flash compatibility, the module maintains synchronization with the host AC 800M processor, ensuring that I/O scan cycles remain consistent regardless of network traffic density. The module leverages the inherent determinism of the AF100 bus architecture to provide sub-millisecond polling cycles, minimizing packet jitter during high-load operations. The firmware supports seamless updates, allowing for alignment with evolving controller logic and backplane bus communication velocity requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the CI858 support redundant network configurations for the AF100 bus?
A: Yes, the module is equipped with dual AF100 twisted-pair channels specifically designed to support redundant communication links, ensuring continuous data transmission even in the event of a single cable path failure.
Q: Is this module capable of field replacement during active system operation?
A: The CI858 supports hot-swap functionality within the controller rack. Operators may replace the module without performing a full system shutdown, provided the local cabinet safety procedures and chassis power-off protocols are strictly observed.
Field Installation Guidelines
Ensure the module is mounted securely on a standard DIN rail or panel within the designated enclosure, maintaining a minimum clearance of 50 mm above and below the unit for heat dissipation. When terminating the AF100 twisted-pair wiring, verify that the cable shields are grounded at the designated common-mode suppression points to prevent electromagnetic interference. Prior to applying 24 VDC power, confirm that the supply voltage remains within the specified ±10% tolerance to avoid thermal stress on the internal power conversion circuit. Ensure all diagnostic LEDs are visible during installation to facilitate immediate verification of link status upon power-up.
