Core advantages and technical highlights

Robust communication capabilities

The ABB CI855K01 3BSE018106R1 supports multiple industrial communication protocols such as Profinet, Ethernet/IP, and Modbus TCP. This multi – protocol support allows it to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of devices and systems, regardless of their origin or existing infrastructure. With a transmission speed of 10 Mbit/s and the ability to handle 200 datasets per second, it ensures high – speed and efficient data transfer, minimizing latency in critical industrial processes.

Reliable and redundant design

Featuring line redundancy, the module can maintain communication even if one network path fails. This is particularly important in mission – critical applications where uninterrupted operation is essential. The hot – swap capability further enhances its reliability, as it allows for module replacement without shutting down the entire system. This reduces maintenance time and costs, ensuring continuous productivity in industrial environments.

Wide operating temperature range

Designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions, the CI855K01 3BSE018106R1 has an operating temperature range of +5 to +55 °C. This makes it suitable for use in various industrial settings, from the heat of a steel mill to the relatively cooler environment of a food processing plant. Its storage temperature range of -40 to +70 °C also ensures that it can be stored safely in different conditions before installation.

Typical application scenarios

Manufacturing industry

In manufacturing plants, the ABB CI855K01 3BSE018106R1 is used to connect production line equipment, such as robotic arms, conveyor belts, and sensors, to the central control system. For example, in an automotive assembly plant, it enables real – time monitoring of the production line. The module’s multi – protocol support allows it to communicate with different devices, ensuring that data on the status of each production process, like the speed of conveyor belts or the position of robotic arms, is accurately transmitted to the control room. This enables operators to make timely adjustments, optimizing production efficiency and reducing downtime.

Power generation

In power plants, whether they are fossil – fuel – based or renewable energy facilities, the CI855K01 3BSE018106R1 is used to connect various power – generation and distribution components. In a wind farm, for instance, it can link the wind turbine controllers to the central monitoring station. The module’s reliable communication capabilities ensure that data on wind speed, turbine performance, and power output are transmitted in real – time. This helps in the efficient operation and maintenance of the wind farm, ensuring maximum power generation and minimizing the risk of equipment failure.

Water treatment

Water treatment plants rely on the ABB CI855K01 3BSE018106R1 to connect sensors, pumps, and control systems. The module can transmit data on water quality parameters, such as pH levels, turbidity, and chemical concentrations, from sensors to the control system. It also controls the operation of pumps based on the received data. For example, if the turbidity of the water exceeds a certain threshold, the module can send a signal to increase the speed of the filtration pumps, ensuring that the treated water meets the required quality standards.
