Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & I/O Density
The module attaches directly to the CEX-Bus backplane assembly, leveraging backplane bus communication velocity to process real-time switchgear time distribution and event stamping signals. A single AC 800M controller supports up to 6 CI855 modules, enabling scaled I/O density to manage up to 128 Motor Control Units (MCUs) per module across 2 INSUM TCP/IP gateways. Power distribution occurs directly across the CEX-Bus from the processor unit at ~150 mA at 24 VDC, eliminating external power supply connections while executing IEC 61131 application function blocks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the CI855 module require an external 24 VDC power supply connection?
A: No, the module receives operational power directly from the AC 800M processor unit via the CEX-Bus backplane interface connection.
Q: Is hot-swapping supported during live system execution?
A: Yes, the CI855 module supports hot-swapping on the TP853 baseplate, allowing live module replacement without interrupting adjacent CEX-Bus communication modules or shutting down controller power.
Q: What is the maximum number of devices manageable by a single CI855 card?
A: Each CI855 module interfaces with up to 128 Motor Control Units (MCUs) via 2 INSUM TCP/IP gateways, controlling up to 4 LonWorks subnets per gateway.
Field Installation Guidelines
Latch the TP853 baseplate securely onto the standard DIN rail before sliding the CI855 interface module onto the internal CEX-Bus header connection. Confirm that the baseplate earth ground tab makes direct mechanical contact with the DIN rail to maintain IP20 chassis grounding.
Route the 8-pin RJ-45 Ethernet network cable separately from high-voltage AC cables to prevent electromagnetic coupling. Ensure cabinet airflow maintains local ambient temperatures within the specified 0 to +55 deg C operating window to prevent thermal degradation during continuous communication operations.
