CI810B 3BSE020520R1 | ABB | Advant Fieldbus 100 Communication Interface

Product Overview

The ABB CI810B (3BSE020520R1) serves as the primary communication gateway between the Advant Fieldbus 100 (AF100) network and the S800 I/O system. This high-performance interface manages data exchange for distributed I/O stations, ensuring real-time signal processing in AC 450, AC 410, or AC 800M controller environments. We supply this unit as 100% brand new original equipment, complete with factory-preloaded system software version 1.5.

Technical Specifications

The CI810B integrates dual twisted pair modems to support robust network topologies and high-speed fieldbus communication.

Engineering Advantages

• Redundant Networking Support: The inclusion of two twisted pair modems allows for redundant AF100 cable configurations. This architecture prevents system downtime in the event of a single cable break, maintaining critical process data flow.

• Integrated System Kit: This module arrives as a ready-to-install package. It includes the TB807 Modulebus terminator and the necessary power supply and terminal blocks, eliminating the need to source individual mounting accessories.

• Streamlined Logic Integration: Preloaded with software version 1.5, the CI810B reduces commissioning time. The hardware automatically manages the local Modulebus, connecting up to 12 I/O modules directly to the AF100 network.

• Industrial Grade Resilience: The mechanical housing supports stable operation in demanding environments. The unit features zero battery requirements, reducing long-term maintenance overhead and improving the reliability of the communication node.

FAQs

• What is included in the CI810B package?

  Each unit includes one CI810B module, one TB807 Modulebus terminator, one power supply connector, two terminal blocks, and one AF100 connector. We ship all components as brand new and factory-sealed.

• Does the CI810B support redundant power supplies?

  The module receives power through the included 3BSC840098R1 connector. While the module itself manages redundant communication via its dual modems, the power redundancy depends on your cabinet's 24V DC distribution strategy.

• Can I replace an older CI810 or CI810A with this CI810B model?

  Generally, the CI810B replaces previous versions within the S800 I/O family. However, ensure your controller firmware supports software version 1.5 or higher to utilize all hardware features.

• Is this an "Exchange" or refurbished unit?

  No. Although ABB provides an exchange part number (EXC3BSE020520R1), the product offered here is a 100% Brand New original 3BSE020520R1. It has never been installed or repaired.
