Features:

  • Bridge Between Field I/O Devices and the Control System Bus Backbone
  • Integrates Real-Time Signal Acquisition with Distributed Network Communication
  • Works in Coordination with ABB AC 800M Controllers and S800 I/O Modules
The CI615 3BHT300024R1 serves as the I/O Bus Coupler in ABB's distributed automation architecture, enabling reliable data exchange between remote I/O stations and the central control network. It continuously translates field-level signals from connected I/O modules into standardized bus protocols and transmits this data across the industrial network to support real-time monitoring and control of all connected processes. Seamless communication integration is standard with the CI615 3BHT300024R1, and deploying multiple units in a redundant bus configuration allows automatic failover to a backup coupler in the event of a primary communication path failure.

The CI615 3BHT300024R1 provides essential communication functions common to the entire I/O station, and is a critical component of the data transmission path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall distributed control system. One or more CI615 3BHT300024R1 bus couplers are required per I/O station depending on the desired network topology and redundancy requirements. The CI615 3BHT300024R1 occupies a dedicated slot within the I/O station enclosure and is always positioned as the primary interface module between the field I/O modules and the system bus.

For redundant communication applications, the ABB distributed I/O system requires a second CI615 3BHT300024R1 bus coupler module installed in the redundant position. In addition to standard single coupler operation, the redundant configuration also performs automatic switchover. The CI615 3BHT300024R1 dual coupler configuration executes failover using the internal arbitration logic specified in the bus coupler options.

The CI615 3BHT300024R1 ABB I/O Bus Coupler may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
