Description

CI627A: Product Overview
The CI627A is a communication interface module for ABB’s AC 800M process controller system, designed to provide a PROFIBUS DP (Decentralized Peripherals) Master interface. This module enables the AC 800M controller to communicate with a network of PROFIBUS DP slave devices, including remote I/O stations, variable frequency drives, motor starters, and other field equipment. Installed in a communication slot of the AC 800M controller baseplate, it functions as the master on the PROFIBUS DP network, cyclically exchanging data with configured slave devices.
The module manages the PROFIBUS DP network by handling token passing, station diagnostics, and data exchange according to the PROFIBUS standard. It scans the connected slave devices, reads input data from field sensors, and writes output data to actuators based on the controller’s application program. The module supports baud rates up to 12 Mbps and can handle a configurable number of slaves and I/O data points, making it suitable for both process automation and machine control applications.

Core Features & Customer Value
The module’s PROFIBUS DP Master capability allows for distributed I/O architecture, reducing wiring costs and improving system flexibility. For system integrators, this means remote I/O stations can be placed close to field devices while maintaining a single digital communication link back to the main controller. The high baud rate (up to 12 Mbps) ensures fast response times for time-critical applications.
The comprehensive diagnostic capabilities provide detailed information about the network status and individual slave devices. Maintenance personnel can quickly identify communication faults, faulty slaves, or cable problems, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR). The module’s hot-swappable capability (in redundant systems) allows for replacement without shutting down the controller, minimizing system downtime during maintenance.
Typical Applications
In automotive manufacturing, the CI627A communicates with PROFIBUS DP remote I/O modules distributed along a production line. The module reads sensor data from welding robots and writes control signals to pneumatic valves, enabling synchronized operation of the assembly process.
In water treatment plants, the module interfaces with PROFIBUS DP variable frequency drives controlling pump motors. It reads motor parameters and writes speed setpoints, allowing for precise flow control and energy optimization.
