Industrial Control Interface Characteristics

The TP853 functions as the specified baseplate for selected ABB CI communication interface modules. Therefore, installation establishes the mechanical and electrical mounting interface required by the associated CI module assembly.

The supplied technical information identifies four compatible module families: CI853, CI855, CI857, and CI861. In particular, the TP853 forms part of the following configurations:

• CI853K01, product ID 3BSE018103R1
• CI855K01, product ID 3BSE018106R1
• CI857K01, product ID 3BSE018144R1
• CI861K01, product ID 3BSE058590R1

The TP853 itself is identified as a Module Termination Unit and does not have a separately specified communication protocol, channel count, operating temperature range, or power consumption in the supplied data. Consequently, engineers should obtain those parameters from the corresponding CI module documentation rather than assigning them to the baseplate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which ABB communication interface modules are specified for the TP853?

A: The supplied ABB data identifies CI853, CI855, CI857, and CI861 as compatible modules.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the TP853?

A: The specified product dimensions are 162 mm depth, 63 mm height, and 45 mm width.

Q: Does the supplied data specify TP853 power consumption or operating temperature?

A: No. The supplied technical information does not provide a numerical power consumption value or operating temperature range.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Verify the TP853 part number, 3BSE018126R1, before installation.
• Confirm that the selected CI module belongs to the specified CI853, CI855, CI857, or CI861 families.
• Mount the baseplate according to the applicable ABB system installation documentation.
• Ensure the mounting surface remains mechanically stable and free from contamination.
• Install the associated CI module only after confirming correct mechanical alignment with the baseplate.
• Route field and communication wiring according to the installation requirements of the associated CI module.
• Keep communication wiring separated from high-current or high-noise conductors where the system installation rules require segregation.
• Verify terminal and connector engagement before energizing the assembled system.
• Do not assign operating temperature, current consumption, or communication specifications to the TP853 unless ABB documentation for the specific system configuration provides them.
