ABB 3BSE018133R1 CI855 MB300 Communication Interface
Product Introduction
The ABB 3BSE018133R1 also known as CI855 brings legacy MB300 network integration to modern AC 800M controllers. You can connect new plant sections with System 800xA directly to older sections running Advant OCS with Master software. Specifically, this interface works with controllers such as Advant Controller 410, Advant Controller 450, and MasterPiece 200/1. Therefore, you do not need to replace existing equipment when upgrading your system.
Additionally, the ABB CI855 mounts on a TP853 baseplate. This baseplate provides two RJ45 Ethernet ports for network redundancy. It also supports simple DIN-rail mounting. Furthermore, the module supports hot swap, dataset communication, and clock synchronization. As a result, system maintenance becomes much easier without long production stops.
Technical Specifications
The 3BSE018133R1 follows the MasterBus 300 protocol. It operates as a master device on the network. Transmission speed reaches 10 Mbit/s with a handling capacity of 200 datasets per second. Line redundancy is fully supported, but module redundancy is not available. Hot swap functionality is included, which allows replacement without powering down the controller.
Moreover, this module works together with a HI controller. Up to 12 units can sit on the CEX bus simultaneously. The connector type is an RJ-45 female (8-pin). Typical 24V DC consumption is 150 mA. For detailed setup, you need the TP853 baseplate which is sold separately.
Environmental & Certification Data
The ABB CI855 operates reliably from 0°C to +55°C. Storage temperature ranges from -40°C to +70°C. Corrosion protection meets G3 compliance according to ISA 71.04. Protection class is IP20 as per EN60529 and IEC 529. Furthermore, this module carries CE marking and marine certificates from BV, DNV-GL, and LR. RoHS compliance includes EU, UAE, and CN standards. WEEE compliance follows DIRECTIVE/2012/19/EU.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can the ABB 3BSE018133R1 work with Advant Controller 450?
Yes, absolutely. The CI855 is designed specifically for peer-to-peer communication with MB300-based controllers like Advant Controller 410, 450, and MasterPiece 200/1.
2. Does this module support redundant network cables?
Yes, line redundancy is fully supported. The two RJ45 ports on the TP853 baseplate allow dual cable connections for network fault tolerance.
3. Can I replace the CI855 without stopping the controller?
Yes, hot swap is supported. You can remove and insert the ABB 3BSE018133R1 while the AC 800M controller remains powered and operational.
4. What is the maximum number of CI855 modules on one CEX bus?
You can install up to 12 units on the same CEX bus. Each ABB CI855 consumes part of the available bus bandwidth.
5. Is the TP853 baseplate included with the module?
Yes, the package includes the TP853 baseplate with pre-mounted RJ45 connectors. You do not need to purchase it separately.
