The CI532V01 functions as a dedicated RCOM interface submodule. It offers two independent communication channels. Many ABB Advant systems use this 3BSE003826R1 to connect with remote I/O panels. Therefore, the module ensures stable serial data transfer. Industrial users rely on this CI532V01 for legacy system upgrades.
This submodule supports the RCOM protocol specifically. Meanwhile, its two channels operate simultaneously. Each channel can handle separate communication paths. For instance, one channel might connect to local I/O. The second channel links to a remote cabinet. Additionally, the 3BSE003826R1 works as a plug-in component. It attaches to a carrier board inside the Advant rack.
Furthermore, the CI532V01 provides electrical isolation between channels. This feature reduces ground loop problems. Data rates are configurable via software. Typical speeds range from 9.6 kbit/s to 187.5 kbit/s. Moreover, the module includes status LEDs for each channel. These lights indicate active transmission and error conditions.
The 3BSE003826R1 measures 265 mm in depth, 125 mm in width, and 30 mm in height. Net weight is only 0.16 kg. Gross weight with protective packaging reaches 0.45 kg. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 55°C. Storage temperature spans -25°C to +70°C. Humidity tolerance is 5% to 95% non-condensing.
Additionally, the CI532V01 follows EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Its WEEE category is 5 (Small Equipment below 50 cm). The SCIP number is 904ab6da-7c40-487c-96a0-6701ee8f497a from Sweden. Therefore, disposal should follow local electronics regulations.
RCOM stands for Remote Communication. It is a serial protocol used by ABB Advant Master systems. The CI532V01 acts as the physical interface for this protocol. Typically, it connects to ABB's S100 I/O or third-party devices. For instance, many power plants use the 3BSE003826R1 to read remote temperature signals. Similarly, water treatment facilities rely on this module for pump status data.
The two channels provide design flexibility. First, channel A can run at a lower speed for long cable runs. Next, channel B operates at higher speed for local devices. Meanwhile, both channels share the same submodule footprint. Therefore, you save rack space compared to using two single-channel cards.
Installing the CI532V01 requires careful handling. First, power down the carrier rack completely. Then locate the correct slot for the submodule. Align the 3BSE003826R1 with its guide rails. Push gently until the edge connector seats fully. Do not use excessive force. Additionally, verify that the carrier board supports RCOM submodules.
For wiring, use shielded twisted-pair cables. Connect the shield to ground at one end only. Each channel has its own terminal block. Label the two channels clearly (A and B). Finally, configure the baud rate and parity using the system software. Restart the carrier module after setup.
Your 3BSE003826R1 arrives in anti-static protection. The box includes:

No certificates or warranty documents come inside the package. Shipping is performed via FedEx, UPS, or DHL. Therefore, tracking information is provided after dispatch. Express shipping options are available.
FAQ 1: Is the CI532V01 a standalone module or a submodule?
The CI532V01 is a submodule. It must be plugged into a carrier board, such as a CI532 carrier. It cannot work alone. This 3BSE003826R1 requires a host rack for power and backplane access.
FAQ 2: Can I use only one channel on the CI532V01?
Yes, absolutely. The CI532V01 allows single-channel operation. Just leave the second channel unconnected. No configuration changes are needed. However, both channels still occupy the submodule slot.
FAQ 3: What is the maximum cable length for each RCOM channel?
For reliable communication, keep cable runs under 500 meters at 9.6 kbit/s. Higher speeds require shorter distances. Specifically, at 187.5 kbit/s, limit cables to 200 meters. Always use shielded twisted-pair wiring.
FAQ 4: Which shipping carriers do you use for the 3BSE003826R1?
We ship the 3BSE003826R1 via FedEx, UPS, or DHL. Express services are available for urgent orders. Remote areas may involve local partners for final delivery.
FAQ 5: Does the CI532V01 support hot swapping?
No, the CI532V01 does not support hot swapping. You must power down the carrier rack before installing or removing this 3BSE003826R1. Failure to do so may damage the submodule or the backplane.
