ABB CI857 3BSE018144R1 INSUM Ethernet Interface Module
Manufacturer: ABB
Product Number: CI857 (3BSE018144R1)
Category: INSUM Ethernet Interface Module (AC 800M)
System Compatibility: ABB AC 800M control system
Features: Multi-drop configurations, time distribution, timestamping in switchgear applications
Function: Seamless integration with AC 800M for advanced Ethernet communication in industrial power management
Product Description
The ABB CI857 3BSE018144R1 INSUM Ethernet Interface Module is designed for seamless integration with the AC 800M control system, offering advanced functionality, multi-drop configurations, and time distribution and timestamping in switchgear applications. The module communicates via the INSUM protocol, providing high-speed communication for industrial control systems. It does not require an additional external power source as it is powered by the processor unit via the CEX-Bus, simplifying system design. With the use of standard Ethernet technology, it supports long-distance communication with a response time typically of 500 milliseconds, ensuring the stability of high-speed closed-loop control.
Key Features
- Supports up to 256 MCUs (or other INSUM devices) per AC 800M, allowing for flexible device configurations.
- High-speed communication with a typical control response time of 500 milliseconds, ensuring system real-time performance.
- INSUM functions are accessed through function blocks in the INSUM Communication Library, simplifying integration with AC 800M.
- Up to 6 CI857 modules can be integrated into a single AC 800M control system, offering excellent scalability.
- Integration of INSUM TCP/IP gateways enables the connection of multiple devices and supports LonWorks subnets, enhancing system flexibility and expandability.
- No external power supply is required, powered via CEX-Bus, simplifying wiring and reducing costs.
