Product Description
The ABB CI610 Bus Extender (Part No. 3BHT300003R1) delivers robust I/O expansion capabilities for ABB Advant OCS and System 800xA distributed control architectures. Engineered to extend communication reach between basic units and remote I/O clusters, this module ensures seamless data exchange across complex automation topologies.
Technical Specifications
- Model: CI610 (3BHT300003R1)
- Function: I/O Bus Extension Interface
- Compatibility: ABB Advant OCS, System 800xA
- Communication Protocol: Proprietary ABB I/O Bus
- Operating Temperature: -40°C to +70°C
- Mounting: DIN rail compatible

Application Scenarios
This bus extender proves essential in large-scale process control installations where physical distance between control cabinets exceeds standard I/O bus limitations. Typical deployments include petrochemical facilities, power generation plants, water treatment systems, and manufacturing lines requiring distributed sensor networks across extended floor spaces.
System Integration
The CI610 integrates directly into existing 800xA control networks, enabling modular expansion without controller replacement. Its hot-swappable design minimizes downtime during maintenance cycles, while built-in diagnostics facilitate rapid troubleshooting through the 800xA engineering environment.
Reliability Features
Galvanic isolation protects against ground loops and electrical noise in harsh industrial environments. Redundant communication paths ensure continuous operation even during partial network failures, critical for safety-instrumented systems and high-availability processes.
