Overview
The ABB CI853K01 is a communication interface module designed to enable serial connectivity between AC 800M controllers and external devices using the RS232-C protocol. As part of the S800 I/O family, it comes packaged with the TP853 baseplate for straightforward installation and integration. This module is ideal for applications requiring reliable data exchange with legacy systems, barcode readers, modems, or other serial-based devices.
Moreover, the CI853K01 supports both point-to-point and multidrop configurations, allowing flexible deployment across diverse industrial environments. In addition, its compact design and robust electrical isolation ensure safe and stable operation even in electrically noisy settings. Therefore, it is a preferred solution for facilities modernizing their control infrastructure while maintaining compatibility with existing serial communication equipment.
