EtherNet/IP 2-Channel Module | CI873K01 3BSE056899R1 ABB

Product Description

Functional Overview

The CI873K01 (Ordering Number: 3BSE056899R1) is a high-performance EtherNet/IP communication interface designed for the ABB AC 800M controller series. This module functions as a critical bridge within the System 800xA architecture, allowing controllers to interact with external industrial devices, motor drives, and third-party I/O systems via the EtherNet/IP protocol. The kit is a complete hardware assembly consisting of the CI873 interface module and the TP867 baseplate, providing a modular and scalable networking solution for process automation and discrete manufacturing.
