Description
1. Product Description
The ABB 3BSE030220R1 CI854AK01 is a PROFIBUS-DP/V1 communication interface module designed for ABB’s S800 I/O and AC800M control systems. Serving as a bridge between the module bus and PROFIBUS-DP networks, the CI854AK01 enables seamless communication with field devices such as sensors, actuators, and drives in industrial automation setups. Its dual-channel architecture supports high-speed data transfer (up to 12 Mbps) and redundant configurations, ensuring reliable operation in critical processes. The module includes a CI854 communication interface and TP854 baseplate, with a compact design (127.5 mm × 185 mm × 59 mm) for easy integration into existing systems. Note: This module is non-RoHS 2 compliant and is intended for legacy systems (pre-2017 installations); new projects should use the RoHS-compliant CI854BK01 (3BSE069449R1).

6. Selection Recommendations
- System Age: Use for pre-2017 systems; choose CI854BK01 (RoHS-compliant) for new installations.
- Network Size: Verify support for up to 31 slaves (suitable for small to medium-scale networks).
- Redundancy Needs: Opt for dual-channel configuration in critical processes (e.g., 24/7 manufacturing).
- Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with ABB’s S800 I/O or AC800M systems (check firmware versions).
7. Precautions
- RoHS Compliance: Not for new installations; use CI854BK01 (3BSE069449R1) for RoHS-compliant setups.
- Temperature Management: Maintain operating temperature <55°C to avoid performance degradation.
- Wiring Standards: Follow PROFIBUS-DP cabling guidelines (shielded twisted pair) for noise immunity.
- Firmware Updates: Regularly update firmware via ABB’s System 800xA software for optimal security.
- Maintenance: Inspect connectors and cables annually; replace faulty modules within 1-year warranty.
