ABB CI858K01 3BSE018135R1 Advant 800xA DriveBus Communication Interface

Product Overview

The ABB CI858K01 (3BSE018135R1) functions as the dedicated high-speed DriveBus interface for the System 800xA controller family. This specialized communication kit enables the AC 800M controller to manage and monitor ABB drives (such as ACS800 and DCS800) with microsecond precision. By utilizing fiber-optic connectivity, this module facilitates real-time torque and speed control loops. We supply this unit as 100% brand new original equipment, ensuring the highest signal integrity for your critical motion control applications.

Technical Specifications

The CI858K01 arrives as a complete hardware package, combining the processing electronics with the necessary physical mounting baseplate.

Engineering Advantages

• Optimized Drive Integration: The CI858 provides a direct, high-bandwidth path for drive data. This removes the latency associated with standard fieldbus protocols, allowing the AC 800M to synchronize multiple drives for complex web-handling or sectional drive applications.

• Complete Installation Kit: The CI858K01 package contains both the CI858 module and the TP858 baseplate. This ensures a perfect mechanical fit and eliminates the need to source mounting hardware separately, accelerating your commissioning schedule.

• Fiber-Optic Noise Immunity: The DriveBus interface utilizes fiber-optic cables to connect to the drives. This provides total galvanic isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), a critical requirement in high-power motor control environments.

• Hot-Swap Maintenance Support: The modular design allows technicians to replace the CI858 module without removing the TP858 baseplate. This architecture keeps the CEX-bus intact and reduces Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) during maintenance intervals.

FAQs

• What exactly does the CI858K01 kit include? Each kit contains one CI858 DriveBus Communication Interface and one TP858 Baseplate. We guarantee both items are 100% brand new and ship in original ABB factory packaging with full technical documentation.

• Can the CI858 replace a standard PROFIBUS module for drive control? While PROFIBUS can control drives, the CI858 DriveBus interface offers significantly higher data rates and deterministic performance. Use the CI858 for applications requiring fast torque updates or tight synchronization between multiple drive units.

• Does this module support fiber-optic branching? The CI858 connects to drives via fiber-optic links. Depending on the drive type, you may require a branching unit (like NDBU) to connect multiple drives in a star or ring topology.

• Is this a genuine, factory-sealed ABB part? Yes. We only supply original, brand new ABB hardware. This 3BSE018135R1 kit arrives with all factory seals intact, ensuring the component has never been used or refurbished.
