ABB CI868K01 (3BSE048845R1) Communication Unit with TP867

Product Description

The CI868K01 (Part Number: 3BSE048845R1) is a specialized communication interface unit designed to integrate ABB AC 800M controllers into power distribution and substation automation environments. This module enables seamless connectivity with Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) using the international IEC 61850 standard. The CI868 (3BSE048845R1) is critical for industrial power management systems where real-time coordination between the process control system and the electrical grid is required.

Technically, the CI868K01 (Model: CI868) acts as both a client and a server, facilitating the exchange of data via MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification) and high-speed GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) messaging. GOOSE messaging is essential for rapid fault detection and horizontal communication between IEDs, ensuring protection signaling occurs within milliseconds. The unit comes as a package including the CI868 (3BSE048845R1) communication module and the TP867 baseplate, allowing for streamlined installation on the controller's CEX-Bus.
