• Environment
  • Operating temp: -20…60 °C, humidity ≤93 %.
  • G3 coating for corrosive areas.

Commissioning & Maintenance

• Configuration
  • Use FDT/DTM tools (e.g. ABB Field Information Manager).
  • Parameter setting and diagnostics via PROFIBUS.
• Diagnostics
  • Extended diagnostic data (module status, bus errors).
  • Auto‑diagnostics – module reports its own health.
• Maintenance
  • Hot Swap – no system shutdown.
  • Redundant communication – replace one module while the other takes over.

Compatibility & Redundancy

• System compatibility
  • S900 I/O type N only.
  • Works with any PROFIBUS DP‑V1 master.
• Redundancy details
  • Line or media redundancy via two CI920AN modules.
  • Both modules must have same firmware (V2.1).
  • External coupling modules required for media redundancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use two CI920AN for redundancy?
  Yes, but both must have identical firmware (V2.1). Check Release Notes.
• Does it support HART?
  Yes, HART passes over PROFIBUS DP‑V1.
• What is the difference between CI920 and CI920AN?
  CI920AN is type N for safe areas with firmware V2.1, optimised for redundancy.
• Can I replace it while powered?
  Yes – Hot Swap is supported.
• Which couriers do you use?
  FedEx, UPS, DHL – tracking included.
• How do I configure it?
  Use FDT/DTM or GSD file in your PROFIBUS master.
• Is this module intrinsically safe?
  No, it is for safe areas only.
• What does warranty cover?
  12 months against manufacturing defects.

Selection Guide

• Choose CI920AN if:
  • You need a reliable interface for safe-area S900.
  • Redundant PROFIBUS DP‑V1 is required.
  • You use HART over PROFIBUS.
• For hazardous areas (Zone 1/2):
  • Select intrinsically safe S900 variants.
• Redundancy note:
  • Order two CI920AN with same firmware plus coupling modules for media redundancy.
