AF100 Communication Interface Characteristics

The CI810A provides an AF100 field communication interface for data exchange within compatible ABB control architectures. Therefore, installation must preserve the specified communication connections and the mechanical position required by the host system.

The supplied documentation does not specify communication speed, connector pin assignment, electrical isolation, bus current, or operating temperature. Consequently, these parameters should be verified against the applicable ABB system documentation before commissioning.

As an ABB industrial communication module, the hardware interfaces with the system through its designated mounting and communication arrangement. However, the supplied product data does not establish compatibility with Profinet, EtherNet/IP, or other network protocols, so those functions should not be assumed for this model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the primary function of CI810A?
A: CI810A provides an AF100 Field Communication Interface for compatible ABB control system communication.

Q: Is EXC3BSE013262R1 the same identification as CI810A?
A: EXC3BSE013262R1 is the Product ID, while CI810A is the Global Commercial Alias and ABB type designation uses CI810A Exchange.

Q: What weight should be considered for handling the module?
A: ABB lists both product net weight and package gross weight as 0.6 kg.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. Verify the complete part identification before installation: EXC3BSE013262R1, CI810A, and related product ID 3BSE013262R1.
2. Confirm that the replacement module matches the host system configuration and approved ABB documentation.
3. Install the module using the designated mechanical mounting arrangement and avoid excessive mechanical force on connectors.
4. Route AF100 communication wiring separately from high-voltage and high-current conductors where practical.
5. Maintain appropriate cable shielding and grounding according to the system installation specification.
6. Inspect connectors and mating surfaces before energizing the system.
7. Do not apply power until wiring, module position, and system configuration have been checked.
8. Because this item is identified as an exchange part, follow the applicable ABB exchange procedure during replacement.
