Product Details
The CI858K01 3BSE018135R1 is complete DriveBus communication kit for ABB AC800M and 800xA DCS control system.
This kit consists of CI858 communication main unit and matching TP858 baseplate, connects to AC800M CEX‑Bus backplane bus, specially used for connecting ABB internal drive equipment. It supports up to 24 drive devices, adopts dedicated DriveBus high‑speed protocol, can quickly read drive operating parameters, fault codes, and issue speed‑setting, start‑stop control instructions, realizing high‑efficiency coordinated control between DCS and drive system.
Hot‑swap function supports online module replacement without DCS system shutdown. Front‑panel LED indicators clearly display power, bus link and fault alarm information for quick field troubleshooting. Built‑in drive bus diagnosis function can detect bus failure and drive station dropout, and upload fault information to DCS controller.
Conformal coated circuit board enhances anti‑interference capability, adapts to complex electromagnetic environment of metallurgy, power plant and papermaking workshops. Compact rack‑mount structure saves cabinet inner space, convenient for inspection and maintenance.
Widely used in renovation and overhaul projects of power, metallurgy, chemical and papermaking DCS drive control system.
It is important spare hardware for DriveBus bus debugging and defective CI858K01 kit replacement.
