Features:
- Interface Between Industrial Ethernet Networks and AC 800F Controller Backplane
- Combines Capability of 10BaseT Ethernet Communication with Network Redundancy Support
- Operates in Conjunction with the AC 800F Controller Family and Standard Industrial Automation Systems
The EI813F 3BDH000022R1 operates as the Ethernet Communication Module in an AC 800F rack, providing reliable network connectivity to all modules within the system. It continuously facilitates data transmission over 10BaseT Ethernet networks (10 Mbps, RJ45 connector) and distributes this communication capability through the rack backplane to support real-time data exchange between controllers, operator stations, and field devices. Seamless network communication is standard with the EI813F 3BDH000022R1, however using an optional Redundant Network Configuration will allow seamless switchover to a backup network path in the event of a primary communication failure. The EI813F 3BDH000022R1 has made improvements in several areas over previous communication module designs in addition to incorporating standard Ethernet connectivity capability within the AC 800F rack.
The EI813F 3BDH000022R1 provides essential network communication functions common to the entire rack, and is a critical component of the control system data path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall monitoring and control system. One or two EI813F 3BDH000022R1 modules are required per rack depending on the desired network redundancy level. The EI813F 3BDH000022R1 occupies a dedicated slot in the rack and is strategically positioned for optimal network integration within the AC 800F controller architecture.
For Dual Redundant Network applications, the AC 800F System requires a second EI813F 3BDH000022R1 Ethernet module installed in the redundant slot. In addition to standard single module operation, the redundant configuration also performs automatic switchover. The EI813F 3BDH000022R1 dual network configuration executes failover using the internal circuitry specified in the module options. Using this method, the redundant network system continually monitors the health of both communication paths. If the system detects that the primary EI813F 3BDH000022R1 module is no longer providing stable network connectivity (outside configured communication tolerance levels), it will automatically transfer the network load to the secondary EI813F 3BDH000022R1 module and generate a system event notification.
The EI813F 3BDH000022R1 ABB Ethernet Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
