Overview
The ABB CI840A-EA is part of the S800 I/O family, a modular and distributed I/O system used in ABB’s System 800xA architecture. This module acts as a Fieldbus Communication Interface (FCI), enabling reliable and flexible data exchange between I/O modules and parent controllers or PLCs.
Designed for redundant applications, the CI840A-EA supports hot configuration in run, allowing system updates without interrupting operations. It also handles HART pass-through, supervision data gathering, and OSP (Output Signal Processing), making it ideal for complex process automation environments.
Moreover, its compact design and low power consumption make it suitable for installations with space and energy constraints. The CI840A-EA is widely used in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, chemicals, and water treatment, where high availability and robust communication are essential.
