PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The ABB CI840A 3BSE041882R1 is an S800 I/O communication interface module. It operates as a PROFIBUS DP-V1 slave device for distributed process automation systems. The module manages fieldbus communications between field I/O clusters and higher-level controllers. It supports both line redundancy and module redundancy configurations for high system availability. Engineers can hot-swap the unit under power to minimize maintenance interruptions during operation.
This interface module consumes 190 mA typical current from a 24 V DC power supply. The unit operates in ambient temperatures from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius in standard horizontal mounting. Vertical mounting arrangements derate maximum ambient temperature limits to 40 degrees Celsius. ISA-S71.04 G3 corrosion protection and IP20 ingress defense support demanding industrial environments. The module also integrates with High Integrity controllers for safety-critical distributed applications.
