CI865 ABB AC 800M Satt ControlNet Master 3BSE040795R1 Legacy I/O Bridge

Product Brief

The ABB CI865 (3BSE040795R1) is a communication interface for AC 800M controllers. It connects older Satt I/O systems (19‑inch rack I/O and Series 200) to the modern AC 800M platform. This module acts as a master and scans up to 31 distributed I/O systems. Ideal for migration projects and protecting legacy Satt investments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Can CI865 connect to standard ControlNet devices?
• A: No. CI865 is only for ABB’s proprietary Satt I/O protocol. It cannot connect to generic ControlNet devices.
• Q: How many Satt I/O racks can one CI865 handle?
• A: One CI865 can scan up to 31 distributed Satt I/O systems. Perfect for medium-sized legacy installations.
• Q: Do I need to configure CI865 before use?
• A: No configuration is needed. Just install it on the CEX‑Bus and connect the BNC cable. It works automatically.
• Q: Can I use CI865 in a redundant AC 800M system?
• A: Module redundancy is not supported. But you can use it with a non‑redundant CPU or as a single module in a redundant system.
• Q: What type of cable does CI865 use?
• A: It uses BNC coaxial cable. This is the same cable used in older Satt ControlNet networks.

Buying Guide & Selection Tips

• Legacy migration: Choose CI865 if you have Satt 19″ rack I/O or Series 200 I/O to connect to AC 800M.
• New projects: Do not use CI865 for new ControlNet networks. Use standard CI854/CI867 instead.
• System size: For more than 31 Satt I/O racks, you may need multiple CI865 modules (max 4 per CEX‑Bus).
• Environment: IP20 rated, so install in a clean cabinet. G3 corrosion protection is included.
• Hot swap: You can replace CI865 without stopping the controller – minimizes downtime.
