Description

The ABB 3BSE018102R1 CI852K01 is a Foundation Fieldbus H1 interface kit designed to integrate field-level Foundation Fieldbus instruments with ABB System 800xA AC 800M controller hardware platforms. The module acts as a dedicated communication link between the AC 800M controller CEX-bus and Foundation Fieldbus H1 networks, executing deterministic process control data exchange at standard 31.25 kbit/s fieldbus transmission rates.

The kit includes the CI852 communication interface unit and the matching TP852 module baseplate (60 mm width). Mounting directly to the AC 800M controller assembly via the baseplate interface, the module provides a single Foundation Fieldbus H1 channel to handle real-time input/output signal transfer, device diagnostics, and field-level instrument configuration management.

Designed for industrial process automation, the 3BSE018102R1 CI852K01 interface kit facilitates seamless fieldbus segment deployment across process control applications. It handles direct communication with smart transmitters, control valves, and field analyzers, serving as a reliable communication gateway across AC 800M hardware revisions 4.1, 5.0, and 5.1.

Features

• Foundation Fieldbus H1 Interface: Executes single-channel Foundation Fieldbus H1 protocol communication operating at standard 31.25 kbit/s transmission speeds.
• Complete System Kit Assembly: Includes the CI852 communication interface module alongside the dedicated 60 mm wide TP852 baseplate for simplified installation.
• AC 800M Controller Integration: Direct bus architecture compatibility with ABB System 800xA AC 800M controller hardware ranges across versions 4.1, 5.0, and 5.1.
• Single-Channel Field Connection: Manages a single fieldbus H1 segment to handle real-time field device cyclic data exchange and non-cyclic diagnostic data routing.
• Standard Industrial Form Factor: Compact module footprint with net dimensions of 16 cm width by 9 cm height by 25 cm depth for DIN-rail or baseplate mounting within system cabinets.

Applications

• Process Fieldbus Integration: Linking Foundation Fieldbus H1 field devices, including pressure transmitters, flowmeters, and smart valve positioners, to ABB System 800xA DCS architectures.
• Field Device Diagnostics & Asset Management: Routing instrument condition monitoring, calibration, and configuration data between field transmitters and central engineering stations.
• Distributed Control Systems: Handling field-level regulatory control loops and distributed device network execution within continuous processing facilities.

Installation Guidelines

1. Pre-Installation Verification: Inspect the kit components (CI852 module and TP852 baseplate) for physical damage and verify compatibility with the target AC 800M controller system version.
2. Power Isolation: Ensure the controller rack and backplane power supply are turned off before attaching or removing module components to prevent bus communication faults or damage.
3. Baseplate Mounting: Securely latch the 60 mm TP852 baseplate onto the DIN rail adjacent to the AC 800M controller or preceding CEX-bus module.
4. Wiring Integration: Connect the Foundation Fieldbus H1 segment wiring to the assigned terminals on the TP852 baseplate, ensuring proper polarity and segment termination.
5. Module Insertion: Align the CI852 module with the guide slots on the TP852 baseplate and press firmly until the module locks into the connector base.
6. Commissioning Checks: Restore system power, load the configuration settings via ABB Control Builder / System 800xA software, and verify active fieldbus communication status indicators.

Configuration Guidelines

1. System Hardware Setup: Define the CI852 module within the hardware tree of the System 800xA / Control Builder engineering environment under the respective AC 800M controller.
2. Network Parameter Alignment: Set channel parameters to match the 31.25 kbit/s Foundation Fieldbus H1 segment configuration and scheduled function blocks.
3. Device Identification: Import or assign the appropriate Device Descriptions (DD / EDD) or Field Device Tools (FDT/DTM) for connected H1 field instruments.
4. Data Backup: Save and archive the controller hardware layout and fieldbus network configuration file prior to initiating full online operations.
