As a cornerstone of the AC 800M platform, the CI855 bridges the gap between new System 800xA installations and existing MB 300 infrastructure, ensuring compatibility and interoperability in hybrid industrial environments.
Key features include support for MB 300 network redundancy, which provides a backup communication path to maintain system uptime in critical applications like oil refineries and power plants. The module also offers clock synchronization for precise timing across distributed devices and dataset communication for efficient exchange of large data packets. With hot-swap capability, the CI855 can be replaced without disrupting system operations, reducing maintenance downtime. Its dual Ethernet ports (RJ45) on the TP853 baseplate enable redundant network connections, while the compact design (12.75 cm x 18.6 cm x 5.9 cm) ensures easy installation in space-constrained control panels.
By combining multi-protocol compatibility (PROFIBUS DP, Modbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP) with robust industrial-grade construction, the ABB CI855 delivers reliable communication in harsh environments (-20°C to +60°C) with IP20 protection. This makes it ideal for applications requiring real-time data exchange, such as process control in chemical plants or SCADA systems in water treatment facilities.
