ABB CI801 S800 I/O PROFIBUS DP-V1 Communication Module HART Pass-Through

Product Overview

The CI801 Fieldbus Communication Interface is part of the S800 I/O system from ABB. It connects I/O modules to controllers using PROFIBUS-DPV1. This module handles signal processing, supervision, and OSP (Output State Preset). It supports Hot Configuration InRun and HART pass-through. Use it for reliable and flexible process control.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Can the CI801 support redundant PROFIBUS lines?A: No. The CI801 does not support line redundancy. For redundant communication, use CI854 or similar modules designed for redundancy.
• Q: What is Hot Configuration InRun and how do I use it?A: Hot Configuration InRun lets you change I/O module parameters while the system runs. You do not need to stop the controller. Use this for tuning or adding channels without process interruption.
• Q: Is the CI801 approved for marine applications?A: Yes. It holds marine certificates from ABS, BV, DNV-GL, and LR. Suitable for ship and offshore platforms.
• Q: What are the shipping options and warranty period?A: We ship via FedEx, UPS, and DHL worldwide. The CI801 comes with a 12-month warranty against defects.
• Q: Any practical advice for first-time users?A: Ensure proper termination on PROFIBUS network. Use the correct GSD file for your master. For vertical mounting, note the lower 40°C temperature limit. Always verify bus address switches before power-up to avoid conflicts.
