Description
The ABB CI856K01 (3BSE026055R1) is an S100 I/O Interface Kit designed for integration within ABB Advant OCS and System 800xA distributed control architectures. This communication interface bridges AC 800M controllers via the CEX bus to legacy S100 I/O subsystems, enabling real-time process data acquisition and control command distribution in complex automation nodes.
The kit comprises the CI856 communication module and the matching TP856 baseplate for DIN-rail or panel mounting. It executes high-speed protocol conversion and packet handling, facilitating expansion and lifecycle migration of legacy S100 racks without requiring complete controller and I/O hardware replacement.
Features
- Interfaces AC 800M controllers to S100 I/O racks via the CEX bus
- Includes CI856 communication unit and TP856 baseplate
- Supports up to 12 units on the CEX bus configuration
- Equipped with a 36-pin Miniribbon connector for internal I/O bus integration
- Powered via 24 VDC external supply through the CEX bus backplane
- IP20 rated enclosure for installation in industrial control cabinets
Applications
- Advant OCS and System 800xA control system migration projects
- Legacy S100 I/O rack integration with modern AC 800M process controllers
- Continuous process automation in chemical, power generation, and oil and gas plants
- Distributed I/O expansion in brownfield industrial control upgrades
