ABB CI810V2 Advant S800 I/O PROFIBUS-DP Communication Interface

The ABB CI810V2, also cataloged as the CI810V2 Communication Interface Module (Article Number 3BSE013224R1), operates as a dedicated hardware component for PROFIBUS-DP network integration within ABB System 800xA and Freelance DCS platforms. It offloads serial master communication routines from the AC 800M CPU, routing field I/O signals through the TP830 baseplate across a 24 VDC backplane rail. The unit auto-detects network transmission speeds up to 12 Mbps while maintaining active channel diagnostics.

Hardware Specifications

Control Backplane Integration and Fieldbus Determinism

The CI810V2 interfaced module operates directly on the S800 I/O module bus, utilizing deterministic backplane bus communication velocity to pass cyclic input/output tables between field devices and the controller interface. Internal processing components execute PROFIBUS-DP V0/V1 frame exchange without degrading main CPU cycle times. Furthermore, backplane logic isolation prevents fieldbus ground loop transients from entering the local 24 VDC power rail, sustaining node stability during peak bus loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the CI810V2 module be hot-swapped during active system operation?

A: Yes. The CI810V2 module supports hot-swap replacement when mounted on an active TP830 baseplate, allowing extraction and insertion under power without interrupting adjacent module bus signals.

Q: What is the maximum PROFIBUS-DP baud rate supported by the CI810V2 hardware interface?

A: The module automatically detects and locks onto the active network transmission rate up to a maximum frequency of 12 Mbps.

Q: How does the CI810V2 handle redundant communication topologies?

A: Dual CI810V2 modules configure on a redundant baseplate to provide dual-channel fault tolerance, executing seamless automatic failover if the primary PROFIBUS line loses carrier signal.

Field Installation Guidelines

Mount the TP830 baseplate firmly onto standard 35 mm DIN rail inside the enclosure cabinet. Lock all module bus extension connectors securely to adjacent S800 I/O positions to ensure backplane ground continuity and clean 24 VDC power distribution.

Terminate field cables using standard 9-pin Sub-D connectors rated for 12 Mbps PROFIBUS-DP communication. Ensure active bus terminators are powered and positioned exclusively at the physical end nodes of the segment. Clamp overall cable shielding directly to the panel ground bar using low-impedance grounding clamps to prevent electromagnetic interference. Maintain at least 50 mm of convective cooling space around the module frame to keep ambient temperature under +60 deg C during operation.
