ABB CI853K01 3BSE018103R1 Advant 800xA RS-232 Communication Interface Kit

Product Overview

The ABB CI853K01 (3BSE018103R1) serves as a comprehensive communication kit for the System 800xA controller family. It enables point-to-point RS-232 serial connectivity, allowing your controller to interface with external third-party equipment, modems, or printers. This specific kit combines the active electronic module with its required physical mounting hardware to ensure immediate deployment. We offer this product as 100% brand new, original factory-sealed equipment, guaranteeing maximum technical performance and longevity.

Technical Specifications

The CI853K01 package integrates both the signal processing hardware and the termination interface required for CEX-bus integration.

Engineering Advantages

• Ready-to-Install Kit Solution: This package includes both the CI853 module and the TP853 baseplate. This eliminates the logistical error of ordering internal electronics without the necessary physical interface, streamlining your assembly process.

• Seamless CEX-Bus Expansion: The unit snaps directly onto the controller’s CEX-bus. This modular design expands communication capabilities without requiring complex rewiring or additional power distribution hardware.

• Robust Signal Isolation: The CI853 handles standard RS-232 signal levels while protecting the sensitive internal controller logic from external electrical noise. This ensures stable data transmission even in electrically "noisy" industrial environments.

• High-Density Form Factor: Occupying only 59 mm of rail width, the CI853K01 optimizes cabinet real estate. It provides a dedicated serial port for legacy device integration while leaving ample room for additional I/O or communication modules.

FAQs

• Does this kit include the connection cables for the RS-232 port?

  The kit includes the CI853 module and the TP853 baseplate. You must provide the specific serial cables (standard DB9 or custom pinout) required for your third-party peripheral device.

• Can I replace a faulty CI853 module while leaving the TP853 baseplate on the rail?

  Yes. The modular architecture allows you to pull the CI853 module off the baseplate for maintenance or replacement without disturbing the CEX-bus continuity or the physical mounting of the TP853.

• Does this module support hardware handshaking?

  Yes, the CI853 supports standard RS-232 control signals, including RTS/CTS and DTR/DSR, depending on the communication protocol settings configured within your 800xA Engineering Studio.

• Is this a "New Surplus" or an "Original New" part?

  We guarantee this is a 100% Brand New original ABB product. It carries the full factory warranty and arrives in its original protective packaging, ensuring it has never been energized or installed previously.
