Description

ABB CI801 communication module

Functional characteristics
Communication interface function: It builds a communication bridge between ABB’s controller system (such as AC800M) and other devices. Devices like sensors, actuators, and programmable logic controllers can all achieve data exchange and communication through it.
Data transmission characteristics: Supports the Profibus-DP protocol, ensuring the real-time performance and reliability of data transmission. It can efficiently transmit a large amount of data and achieve rapid data exchange and response.
Flexible and diverse configuration: Supports multiple data transmission methods, and communication parameters can also be flexibly configured. Users can set them according to specific needs to adapt to different application scenarios.
Good scalability: It can work in conjunction with other types of modules such as digital input/output modules and analog input/output modules to expand the functions and capabilities of the AC800M.
Easy integration: Closely integrated with ABB’s controller system, it can be configured and managed with ABB’s engineering tools, and both integration and usage are very simple.
Wide compatibility: Compatible with the Profibus-DP protocol, it can communicate with other devices that comply with this protocol, and has wide compatibility.

Technical parameters
Communication protocol: Follow the Profibus-DP-V1 protocol.
Baud rate: Supports a baud rate range from 9.6Kbps to 12Mbps.
Power supply: A 24VDC power supply is usually adopted.
The number of I/O channels supported: Up to 256 I/O channels can be supported at most.
