Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: What is the main difference between CI867 and CI867A?
• A: CI867A has a single 100 Mbit/s port. The older CI867 had two ports (10 and 100 Mbit/s). CI867A also requires newer 800xA versions.
• Q: Can I use two CI867A modules for redundancy?
• A: Yes, the CI867A supports module redundancy. You can install two modules and configure them as a redundant pair.
• Q: How many Modbus slave devices can I connect?
• A: You can connect up to 70 slave devices per CI867A. Each slave is addressed via Modbus TCP.
• Q: What software version do I need to use CI867A?
• A: You need System 800xA 6.0.3.3, 6.1.1, or any later version. Older versions are not compatible.
• Q: Is the CI867A suitable for marine applications?
• A: Yes, it has DNV-GL marine certification. Approvals from ABS, BV, and LR are pending.

Buying Guide & Selection Tips

• Protocol match: Choose CI867A if your field devices speak Modbus TCP. For Profibus, choose a different module.
• Redundancy needed? If your system requires high availability, buy two CI867A modules and configure redundancy.
• Network speed: Use a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet switch for best performance. The module runs at 100 Mbit/s full duplex.
• System version check: Verify your 800xA version is 6.0.3.3 or higher before ordering.
• Environment: IP20 rated, so install in a clean cabinet. It is G3 corrosion resistant for harsh areas.
