ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1 Ethernet Interface Kits

Product Description

ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1 are AC 800M CEX-bus Ethernet interface kits. CI868AK01 connects the controller to IEC 61850 station communication, while CI873AK01 connects the controller to EtherNet/IP devices; the protocol role is fixed by the exact kit.

Both ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1 place CPU, memory, logic and dual Ethernet transceivers between the CEX bus and the TP867 RJ45 channels. Galvanic isolation belongs to each Ethernet path, while controller data and configuration pass through the CEX interface.

A project using ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1 reserves the correct CEX position, installs the TP867 base and maps the protocol objects for the selected interface. Swapping the two articles without changing the project cannot convert IEC 61850 traffic into EtherNet/IP traffic.

Communication and Connectivity

ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1 share the same CEX-to-Ethernet hardware flow while carrying different industrial protocol objects.

CI868 IEC 61850 path

CI868AK01 maps configured IEC 61850 communication through the controller project and the two isolated TP867 Ethernet channels.

CI873 EtherNet/IP path

CI873AK01 maps EtherNet/IP connections and device data through the same physical channel arrangement without using the IEC 61850 object model.

Shared hardware stages

CEX traffic reaches the local CPU and memory before the two Ethernet transceivers and isolation stages drive CH1 and CH2.

System Integration

Integrating ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1 requires the exact protocol kit, controller library and external device map to agree.

Reserve the CEX position

Install the documented interface and TP867 in the planned expansion position with the CEX bus de-energized and correctly terminated.

Map the protocol objects

Configure either IEC 61850 or EtherNet/IP objects for the installed article, then bind them to the controller application rather than copying the other interface type.

Prove both Ethernet paths

Restore power, confirm interface and link indications, then exchange representative data through each channel with the external station or device.

Common Questions

Which protocol belongs to ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1?

In ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1, CI868AK01 is the IEC 61850 kit and CI873AK01 is the EtherNet/IP kit.

Can ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1 be exchanged without project changes?

No. ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1 use different protocol models, so the hardware library, communication objects and external device configuration must match.

Why can one port link on ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1 while data remains unavailable?

For ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1, a link LED proves the physical Ethernet path only; verify protocol objects, addresses and controller mapping.

What does TP867 provide for ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1?

TP867 gives ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1 the two isolated RJ45 field channels and the mechanical/base connection to the interface.

What is saved before replacing ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1?

Save the exact article, CEX position, IP settings, protocol configuration, cable assignment and controller project for ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1.

How are ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1 commissioned?

Commission ABB CI868AK01 3BSE092691R1 / ABB CI873AK01 3BSE092695R1 by confirming CEX recognition, both Ethernet links and representative protocol data with the connected station or device.
