Description
Product Overview
ABB CI854AK01 (3BSE030220R1) is a PROFIBUS-DP/V1 communication interface module designed for the ABB AC800M controller platform. The complete kit includes CI854 interface board and TP854 baseplate. It acts as a PROFIBUS master to connect AC800M controllers with PROFIBUS DP field devices, such as remote I/O, variable frequency drives, transmitters and valve positioners. Widely applied in power plants, petrochemical and oil & gas industries, it is a legacy spare part used for maintenance and system retrofit of existing AC800M installations. For brand-new projects, ABB recommends CI854BK01 (3BSE069449R1) as the replacement modelABB Group.
