Features:
- Redundant Fieldbus Communication Interface for S800 I/O System
- Dual-Channel Active-Active Redundancy with Automatic Failover
- Protocol Compatibility Across AF100, Profibus DP, Modbus, and DeviceNet
The ABB CI820V1 3BSE025255R1 serves as the Redundant Fieldbus Communication Interface (FCI) within the S800 I/O system, establishing reliable communication between the control system and remote I/O stations over the Advant Fieldbus 100 (AF100) network. It continuously manages bidirectional data exchange at rates up to 1500 kbit/s, with certain configurations supporting speeds up to 12 Mbps, and distributes this communication through RS485 ports and fiber optic interfaces to ensure seamless connectivity for all connected modules. Seamless channel transfer is standard with the CI820V1 3BSE025255R1, and its built-in dual-channel active-active redundancy architecture enables automatic switchover to a backup communication path within milliseconds upon detection of a primary channel failure. The CI820V1 3BSE025255R1 has made improvements in several areas over previous communication interface designs, including enhanced electromagnetic compatibility and broader environmental operating range within the S800 I/O ecosystem.
The CI820V1 3BSE025255R1 provides essential communication functions common to the entire distributed I/O network, and is a critical component of the control path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall automation system. One or two CI820V1 3BSE025255R1 modules are required per I/O station depending on the desired redundancy level. The CI820V1 3BSE025255R1 occupies a dedicated slot in the S800 I/O configuration and is always positioned as the primary communication gateway for the station.
For Dual Redundant Communication applications, the S800 I/O system requires a second CI820V1 3BSE025255R1 module installed in the redundant configuration. In addition to standard single channel operation, the redundant configuration also performs automatic switchover. The CI820V1 3BSE025255R1 dual communication configuration executes failover using the internal redundancy management circuitry specified in the module design. Using this method, the redundant communication system continually monitors the health of both channels. If the system detects that the primary communication channel is no longer providing stable data transmission (outside configured signal integrity or tolerance levels), it will automatically transfer the communication load to the secondary channel and update the module status indicators accordingly.
The CI820V1 3BSE025255R1 ABB Fieldbus Communication Interface Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
