ABB Industrial Control Communication Architecture

The CI820 module operates as a communication interface component for ABB S800 I/O installations. It provides redundant communication capability by using two CI820 units in a configured pair. Therefore, the system can maintain communication availability through a dual interface arrangement.

The module supports ABB industrial control architecture through AF100 communication technology. In addition, its onboard memory resources include 0.5 FPROM and 0.5 MB SRAM for firmware storage and operational data handling.

The CI820 belongs to the ABB PLC/DCS hardware category, where backplane bus communication velocity, firmware flash compatibility, and I/O system integration parameters define module operation. The module is designed for S800 communication network configurations rather than direct field signal acquisition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is redundancy configured for the ABB CI820 3BSE013200R1?
A: Redundant communication requires two CI820 modules to be ordered and installed as a redundant pair within the S800 I/O system configuration.

Q: What communication hardware is integrated into the CI820 module?
A: The CI820 includes one AF100 modem interface together with internal firmware memory and SRAM resources for communication processing.

Q: Can the CI820 operate as a standalone redundant communication module?
A: The specified configuration requires two CI820 units for redundancy functions. A single module does not provide the complete redundant communication arrangement.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Install the CI820 module according to the ABB S800 I/O system hardware configuration requirements.
• Verify that the module position and communication connections match the approved system layout.
• Use appropriate industrial wiring practices for communication cables, including proper cable routing away from high-current power conductors.
• Connect cable shields according to the plant grounding design to reduce communication interference.
• Confirm that both CI820 modules are correctly configured before enabling redundant communication functions.
• Check firmware compatibility between the CI820 module and the associated ABB control system before commissioning.
