ABB CI801 3BSE022366R1 | PROFIBUS DP Communication Interface for S800 I/O

Description

1. Product Overview

The ABB CI801 (3BSE022366R1) is a high-performance Fieldbus Communication Interface (FCI) designed to integrate the S800 I/O system with PROFIBUS DP networks. It acts as a master-to-slave gateway, allowing a PROFIBUS DP master controller (such as ABB AC 800M or third-party PLCs) to access and control up to 12 S800 I/O modules connected to its local ModuleBus.

The CI801 supports the PROFIBUS DPV1 protocol, which provides not only high-speed cyclic data exchange but also acyclic communication for advanced parameterization and diagnostics of smart field devices. Its robust, compact design makes it ideal for distributed control architectures where I/O stations are located far from the main control cabinet.

Key Applications:

• Distributed I/O Stations: Connecting remote S800 I/O clusters to a central PLC via PROFIBUS.
• Multi-Vendor Integration: Allowing ABB S800 I/O to be used with Siemens, Rockwell, or Schneider controllers via a standard PROFIBUS link.
• Process Automation: Ideal for chemical, water treatment, and food & beverage industries requiring reliable fieldbus communication.
• System Expansion: Easily adding new I/O points to an existing PROFIBUS network without re-cabling the entire system.

7. FAQ

Q: Does the CI801 support redundant PROFIBUS cables?

No, the CI801 is a single (non-redundant) communication interface. If you require media redundancy, you should consider the CI840A module, which is designed for redundant PROFIBUS configurations.

Q: How do I set the PROFIBUS address on the CI801?

The PROFIBUS station address is typically set using the rotary switches located on the front or side of the module (under the cover) or via the engineering software depending on the hardware revision.

Q: Is the CI801 compatible with third-party PROFIBUS masters?

Yes, as long as you have the correct GSD file (provided by ABB), the CI801 can be integrated into any standard PROFIBUS DP network, including those managed by Siemens TIA Portal or Rockwell Studio 5000.
