CI867K01 ABB Modbus TCP Interface Module for AC 800M Controllers

Description

The CI867K01 is a high-performance communication interface designed for ABB’s AC 800M controller family. It facilitates Modbus TCP connectivity, allowing the controller to act as both master and slave in distributed automation networks. Moreover, the module supports request-response interaction and can manage up to 70 slave devices and 8 master connections, making it ideal for complex industrial setups. In addition to its robust communication capabilities, the CI867K01 features dual Ethernet channels-Channel 1 supports 10/100 Mbps full-duplex, while Channel 2 operates at 10 Mbps half-duplex. This dual-channel design enhances network flexibility and fault tolerance. Therefore, it’s widely used in power generation, oil and gas, and manufacturing environments where reliable data exchange is critical. The module is hot-swappable and supports redundancy configurations, ensuring minimal downtime during maintenance or failure. For instance, operators in mission-critical facilities benefit from its ability to maintain communication continuity even during hardware replacement.
