ABB 3BSE008510R1 CI854A Ethernet Communication Interface | 800xA Specs

ABB 3BSE008510R1 CI854A Ethernet module. 2 ports, 100 Mbps, IEC 61850, for S800 I/O. Industrial networking in 800xA systems.

Product: ABB 3BSE008510R1 CI854A Ethernet Communication Interface

The ABB 3BSE008510R1 (CI854A) is a high-performance communication interface module designed for the S800 I/O system within ABB's extended Automation 800xA. It enables direct integration of S800 I/O into industrial Ethernet networks, supporting process and electrical automation protocols.

Key Features

• Dual Ethernet Ports:​ Features two 100 Mbps ports for daisy-chaining or network redundancy.

• Multi-Protocol Support:​ Handles both process control and electrical protection protocols.

• High Integration:​ Directly connects S800 I/O to 800xA controller nodes.

• Robust Design:​ Built for harsh industrial environments with high EMI immunity.

Technical Specifications

Function & Application

The CI854A acts as a gateway between the 800xA controller network and the S800 I/O fieldbus. It maps I/O data to the supported protocols, allowing real-time process data exchange and integration of electrical protection devices using IEC 61850. This is critical for modern, converged process and power automation systems.

Typical Applications

• Integration of S800 I/O into 800xA control systems over Ethernet.

• Projects requiring IEC 61850 for substation automation and protection within a process control architecture.

• Applications needing high-availability network communication with PRP/HSR.

• Power management and electrical distribution control in industrial plants.

Critical System Note

This is not a standalone device. It is a critical system component​ that must be configured and used within an ABB 800xA system environment. It requires:

• An S800 mounting unit​ (e.g., TU847) for power and housing.

• Compatible S800 I/O modules​ (e.g., AI, DI, AO, DO).

• Configuration and integration via 800xA engineering tools​ (Control Builder).

Note: Specifications are for product identification and comparison. This is a sophisticated system interface. For network design, configuration guidelines, and compatibility matrices, consult the official ABB CI854A Installation and Operation Manual (3BSE035982R0101).
