ABB CI810B AF100 Fieldbus Communication Interface

Description

The ABB CI810B AF100 Fieldbus Communication Interface (product code 3BSE020520R1) is a compact, industrial-grade communication module belonging to the ABB S800 I/O system family, a modular, scalable platform for diverse industrial applications. Equipped with 2*AF100 twisted pair modems, it includes accessories such as 1 power connector (3BSC840098R1), 1 TB807 module bus terminator (3BSE008538R1), 2 terminal blocks (3BSC840098R1), 1 AF100 connector (3BSC840105R1), and pre-loaded basic system software version 1.5. It supports multiple protocols including PROFIBUS DP-V1, Foundation Fieldbus, Modbus TCP/IP, and CANopen, with a maximum communication speed of 12 Mbps and data transfer rate up to 1 Mbps. Operating on 24V DC input voltage with power consumption ranging from ≤1W to 5W, it has an operating temperature range of -25 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius, and offers two form factor options: 55mm×125mm×120mm or 110mm×60mm×25mm, with weight ranging from 0.3kg to 0.73kg. Available with IP20 or IP65 protection ratings, it supports DB9 or DIN rail mounting. Key features include electrical isolation to prevent interference and fault propagation, built-in diagnostic functions to detect and resolve potential communication issues, and rugged components for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. It facilitates seamless data exchange and control signal transmission between controllers and field devices, and is widely used in industrial automation, process control, discrete manufacturing, energy, water treatment, and oil and gas sectors.
