ABB CI854AK01 PROFIBUS-DP/V1 Interface

ABB CI854AK01 PROFIBUS-DP/V1 Interface

Product Introduction

The CI854AK01 from ABB provides a reliable PROFIBUS-DP/V1 connection for older automation systems. This interface module is delivered together with the TP854 baseplate. It supports repair, reuse, and functional upgrades. However, it does not meet RoHS 2 standards. For fresh installations, please select CI854BK01 (3BSE069449R1) instead.

Technical Specifications

This communication module operates as a master or slave on PROFIBUS-DP/V1 networks. It supports baud rates up to 12 Mbit/s. The module connects easily to ABB’s 800xA and S100 systems. Additionally, it uses a standard 9-pin D-sub connector for fieldbus wiring.

Specifically, the CI854AK01 handles cyclic and acyclic data exchange. It also supports diagnostics and parameterization via PROFIBUS. The module’s firmware is field-upgradable. Moreover, it includes LED indicators for power, bus activity, and fault status.

Key parameters include:

• PROFIBUS-DP/V1 compliant

• Maximum cable length: 1.2 km (with repeater)

• Isolated bus interface

• Typical power consumption: 5 V DC / 300 mA

Mechanical and Environmental Data

The module has a compact design. Its net dimensions are 127.5 mm deep, 186 mm high, and 59 mm wide. The net weight is 0.7 kg. The operating temperature ranges from 0°C to +55°C. Storage temperature goes from -40°C to +70°C. Furthermore, it supports 5% to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing).

The TP854 baseplate provides mechanical support and electrical connections. It also helps with heat dissipation. This combination makes the unit suitable for standard industrial cabinets.

Installation Guidelines

First, mount the TP854 baseplate onto a DIN rail. Next, push the CI854AK01 onto the baseplate until it clicks. Then, connect the PROFIBUS cable to the 9-pin D-sub port. After that, wire the power supply according to the terminal markings. Finally, verify the LED status after power-up.

Always turn off system power before installing or removing the module. Use shielded cables for PROFIBUS to reduce noise. Additionally, terminate both ends of the bus segment with proper resistors. For detailed steps, refer to the original ABB hardware manual.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I use the CI854AK01 for a new factory line?

No. ABB states this spare part is only for systems sold before July 22, 2017. For new lines, order CI854BK01 (3BSE069449R1).

2. Is this module compatible with PROFIBUS-PA devices?

Yes, but you need a segment coupler. The CI854AK01 works with PROFIBUS-DP/V1. A coupler converts DP to PA for field devices.

3. Does the package include termination resistors?

No. Termination resistors are not part of the delivery. You must buy them separately from your local distributor.

4. What happens if I install this in a RoHS-regulated region?

The module is non-RoHS compliant. Some regions restrict its use. Therefore, check local regulations before ordering.

5. How can I verify that my CI854AK01 is functioning correctly?

Power up the system and observe the LEDs. The green PWR light must stay on. The BF (bus fault) LED should not flash. Additionally, use ABB’s diagnostic software to scan the bus.
