ABB CI810B AF100 Field Communication Interface

Description

The ABB CI810B AF100 Field Communication Interface (product code 3BSE020520R1) is a compact, high-reliability module belonging to the ABB S800 I/O system family, designed for robust industrial communication. It comes pre-loaded with basic system software version 1.5, and includes 2 AF100 twisted pair modems, 1 power connector (3BSC840098R1), 1 TB807 Modulebus terminator (3BSE008538R1), 2 terminal blocks (3BSC840098R1), and 1 AF100 connector (3BSC840105R1). With a weight range of 0.3kg to 0.73kg, it offers flexible installation options including DB9 connector or DIN rail mounting, with protective ratings of IP20 or IP65.

Powered by 24V DC, it draws 120mA to 150mA of current with power consumption ranging from ≤1W to 5W, and operates in temperatures from -25 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius. Key technical features include support for multiple industrial protocols such as PROFIBUS DP-V1, Foundation Fieldbus, Modbus TCP/IP, CANopen, EtherNet/IP, and DeviceNet, with maximum communication speeds up to 12Mbps. Its core function is to connect ABB fieldbuses to other devices or systems, enabling data transmission, control, and monitoring between programmable logic controllers and field instruments. Ideal for harsh industrial environments, it is widely applied in chemical, power, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries.
