The ABB CI854AK01 PROFIBUS-DP/V1 Interface Module Provides Redundant Communication For The AC 800M Controller.

The CI854AK01 consists of the CI854 communication interface and the TP854 backplane. Acting as a PROFIBUS DP master, the module can directly connect to slave devices such as S800/S900 remote I/O and can connect to PA slaves via the LD 800P link device.

Typical Applications:

• Connecting PROFIBUS DP/PA field devices (sensors, actuators, remote I/O)
• Redundant communication for critical processes in oil & gas, power plants, and similar industries
• Enabling connection between large control systems and PROFIBUS bus devices

Powerful Master Capability: The CI854AK01 supports up to 124 slave devices (no more than 32 per segment), meeting the requirements of complex fieldbus topologies.

Redundant PROFIBUS Lines: The TP854 backplane is equipped with two DB9 female connectors, supporting cable redundancy and enhancing system availability.

Comprehensive Communication Protocol Support: In addition to cyclic data exchange, the CI854AK01 also supports acyclic DP communication and slave redundancy.

The CI854AK01 enables users to:

Seamlessly integrate PROFIBUS field devices within the 800xA system

Improve safety and continuous operation of critical processes through redundant communication

Simplify the upgrade path from legacy PROFIBUS systems to the AC 800M controller
