Features:
- Interface Between the AF100 Communication Network and ABB Control System Backplane
- Integrates Coaxial Connector Design with Built-In Modem Functionality
- Functions in Conjunction with ABB AC 800M Controllers and Advant Master Systems
The ABB CI630 3BSE011000R1 Communication Interface Module serves as the AF100 network interface within ABB control system racks, enabling reliable data communication across all connected modules. It continuously facilitates signal transmission between the AF100 fieldbus network and the rack backplane, converting communication protocols and distributing data to support steady state operation of all monitors and controllers. Seamless network connectivity is standard with the CI630 3BSE011000R1, and its integrated modem design eliminates the need for external communication equipment, ensuring uninterrupted data flow even in demanding industrial environments.
The CI630 3BSE011000R1 provides essential communication functions common to the entire rack, and is a critical component of the control network path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall automation system. One CI630 3BSE011000R1 communication interface is required per rack to establish AF100 network connectivity. The CI630 3BSE011000R1 occupies a dedicated slot in the rack and is positioned according to the specific ABB system architecture requirements.
For systems requiring enhanced communication reliability, the ABB control platform may support redundant network configurations using additional CI630 3BSE011000R1 modules or complementary communication interfaces. In addition to standard single interface operation, redundant configurations perform automatic switchover between communication paths. The system continually monitors the health of the CI630 3BSE011000R1 and associated network connections.
The CI630 3BSE011000R1 ABB Communication Interface Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
