Q: What is included in this package?
A: Package includes CI856 communication module, TP856 baseplate, and software license for 800xA integration. Ready to install.
Q: How many S100 I/O racks can I connect?
A: You can connect up to five S100 I/O racks to one CI856. Each rack holds 20 I/O boards, so up to 100 boards total.
Q: Do I need external power for CI856?
A: No. CI856 is powered directly from CEX-Bus. No additional power supply needed – simplifies installation.
Q: Can I use this with my existing Advant OCS I/O?
A: Yes. CI856 is designed specifically to reuse ABB Master and Advant OCS I/O. Keep your field wiring and termination units.
Q: Does CI856 support redundancy?
A: No, module redundancy is not supported. For redundant applications, consider other communication interfaces.
Q: What is the code locking device?
A: It is a mechanical key that prevents inserting wrong I/O board types. Protects system from hardware mismatch errors.
Q: Can I replace I/O boards while system runs?
A: Yes, Hot Swap is supported. Replace faulty I/O boards without stopping the controller or process.
Q: What warranty do you offer on CI856?
A: 12 months from shipment date covering manufacturing defects. Extended options available on request.
