Description
ABB FI830F 3BDH000032R1 is a PROFIBUS DP fieldbus communication module designed for the Freelance AC800F distributed control system. It operates as Class 1 DP master and supports Class 2 DP master functions via Freelance ControlBuilder F software. The module enables AC800F controllers to exchange cyclic process data and acyclic diagnostic information with PROFIBUS DP slave devices. Electrical isolation protects the controller backplane from fieldbus interference. It is widely deployed as replacement spare hardware for legacy Freelance DCS plant maintenance.
Series
Freelance is ABB’s distributed process control platform optimized for small and medium-scale process industries. The AC800F controller family supports a complete range of communication modules including Ethernet, serial and PROFIBUS interfaces to realize multi-protocol networking with field instruments and automation equipment.
Product Features
- Supports PROFIBUS DP-V0 cyclic data exchange and DP-V1 acyclic parameter access and diagnostic services.
- Operates as Class 1 DP master; Class 2 DP master functionality available via engineering software.
- Galvanic isolation between controller backplane and PROFIBUS fieldbus circuit.
- Baud rate range from 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps, auto-detection supported.
- Standard DB9 PROFIBUS connector for fieldbus wiring.
- Front panel LED indicators for module status, bus activity and fault diagnostics.
- DIN slot mounting inside AC800F controller rack, powered via system backplane without external power supply.
- Hardware limitation: maximum quantity of FI830F modules per controller depends on CPU model and power supply type.
- Legacy non-RoHS hardware; only applicable for maintenance of existing Freelance systems.
