CI857K01 3BSE018144R1 | ABB | Advant 800xA INSUM Ethernet Interface Kit

Product Overview

The ABB CI857K01 (3BSE018144R1) provides a high-speed INSUM (Integrated System for User-optimized Motor control) Ethernet gateway for the System 800xA controller family. This interface kit allows the AC 800M controller to communicate directly with motor control centers (MCC) and intelligent switchgear. By utilizing the INSUM protocol, this module facilitates real-time monitoring and control of motor starter parameters and protection data. We supply this kit as 100% brand new original equipment, ensuring seamless integration into your critical automation infrastructure.

Technical Specifications

The CI857K01 is a complete assembly that integrates the communication processor with its required mounting hardware for immediate installation on the CEX-bus.

Engineering Advantages

• Turnkey Kit Assembly: Each CI857K01 package includes both the CI857 module and the TP853 baseplate. This simplifies procurement and prevents installation delays caused by missing mounting interfaces or connector blocks.

• Intelligent MCC Integration: The CI857 enables the controller to access thousands of diagnostic and status signals from INSUM devices. This provides operators with deep visibility into motor health, energy consumption, and trip histories.

• Modular CEX-Bus Scaling: The unit attaches directly to the AC 800M controller via the CEX-bus. This modular approach allows for the expansion of communication channels without requiring extensive wiring or cabinet modifications.

• High-Density DIN-Rail Mounting: With a footprint of only 59 mm wide, this kit maximizes space efficiency in control cabinets. The vertical orientation supports efficient heat dissipation while maintaining high signal density for multiple motor control segments.

FAQs

• What exactly does the CI857K01 kit include?

  The kit contains two primary components: the CI857 electronic communication interface and the TP853 baseplate. We guarantee both components are 100% brand new and factory-sealed.

• Can I replace an existing CI857 module without removing the TP853 baseplate?

  Yes. The CI857 module detaches easily from the TP853 baseplate. This modular design allows you to replace the active electronic unit while keeping the baseplate and field wiring intact.

• Which controllers support the CI857K01 interface?

  The CI857K01 connects specifically to the ABB AC 800M series controllers through the CEX-bus. Verify that your controller firmware supports the INSUM protocol before commissioning.

• Is this a genuine ABB product?

  Yes. We only supply original, brand new ABB hardware. Each 3BSE018144R1 kit arrives in its original factory packaging with full technical documentation and traceability.
