ABB CI854AK01 3BSE030220R1 PROFIBUS-DP/V1 Communication Interface Kit
ABB CI854AK01 (3BSE030220R1) is a PROFIBUS DP-V1 master communication interface kit for ABB AC800M and System 800xA DCS systems. The kit contains CI854A communication module and TP854 baseplate, equipped with dual galvanically isolated PROFIBUS channels for fieldbus networking.



It serves as a bridge between controller CEX bus and PROFIBUS DP field devices, supporting both cyclic real-time data exchange and acyclic parameter access. This legacy unit is mainly used as spare parts for maintenance and retrofit of existing ABB DCS installations.
