ABB CI871AK01 3BSE092693R1 Profinet IO Interface Module

ABB CI871AK01 Profinet IO Interface Module - Industrial Ethernet Communication Solution

The ABB CI871AK01 (3BSE092693R1) delivers high-performance Profinet IO connectivity for AC 800M controllers within the 800xA and Compact Control Builder environments. Engineered for mission-critical process automation, this interface module enables seamless integration of Profinet-compliant field devices into ABB distributed control systems.

Technical Specifications

• Protocol Support: Profinet IO V2.3, IRT (Isochronous Real-Time) capable
• Network Interface: Dual RJ45 Ethernet ports with integrated switch functionality
• Data Transfer Rate: 100 Mbps full-duplex communication
• Cycle Time: Minimum 1ms for deterministic I/O updates
• Device Capacity: Supports up to 128 Profinet devices per interface
• Mounting: Hot-swappable design for DIN rail installation
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F)
• Power Consumption: 5W typical, 24V DC supply
• Diagnostic LEDs: Module status, network activity, and fault indication

Industrial Applications

This Profinet interface excels in demanding process environments requiring real-time deterministic communication:

• Chemical Processing: Integrate smart transmitters and valve positioners with sub-millisecond response times for reactor control and batch sequencing
• Oil & Gas Operations: Connect safety-certified Profinet devices in SIL-rated systems for pipeline monitoring and emergency shutdown logic
• Power Generation: Link turbine control systems with distributed I/O racks across boiler, feedwater, and emissions control zones
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Enable validated communication paths for clean-in-place systems and environmental monitoring in GMP facilities
• Water Treatment: Coordinate SCADA networks with remote pump stations and filtration units via industrial Ethernet infrastructure

Integration & Configuration

The CI871AK01 integrates directly into Control Builder M engineering environments through pre-configured function blocks. Network topology configuration supports linear, star, and ring architectures with automatic device discovery. The module's GSDML file ensures compatibility with third-party Profinet devices while maintaining deterministic scan cycles. Redundant network paths can be configured for fault-tolerant installations requiring 99.99% uptime.

Diagnostic Capabilities

Advanced diagnostics include real-time monitoring of network load, packet error rates, and device health status. The integrated web server provides remote access to configuration parameters and traffic statistics without interrupting process operations. SNMP support enables integration with plant-wide network management systems for predictive maintenance workflows.

Why Choose This Solution?

ABB's CI871AK01 combines proven reliability with modern industrial Ethernet standards. The hot-swap capability minimizes downtime during maintenance, while the dual-port design eliminates single points of failure in critical control loops. Backward compatibility with legacy AC 800M installations protects existing infrastructure investments while enabling migration to Profinet-based architectures.
