Features:
- FOUNDATION Fieldbus High Speed Ethernet interface for ABB AC 800M controller systems.
- 10/100 Mbit/s IEEE 802.3 connection through one RJ45 connector on the TP860 baseplate.
- CEX-Bus power, redundant operation and hot-swap support for documented non-High-Integrity controllers.
CI860, article number 3BSE032444R1, connects FF HSE devices to AC 800M and can reach H1 devices through a compatible linking device. Match the TP860, processor type and stored configuration before commissioning.
Official source: ABB AC 800M Controller Hardware Product Guide 3BSE036352-610 documents the CI860/TP860 assembly, FF HSE interface, network speed, power source, redundancy, hot swap and controller compatibility limits.
CI860 technical documentation and verified Moore Automated resources.
Important Notice: Confirm the complete model, revision and installed system before replacement.
Connect the FF HSE network to the RJ45 port on TP860 using the documented 10Base-T or 100Base-TX Ethernet arrangement. Verify switch configuration, addressing, linking devices and the engineered HSE subnet before downloading the controller project.
When H1 devices are required, use a compatible HSE linking device such as LD 800HSE. Configure H1 links and assign the actual devices in ABB Fieldbus Builder before loading the CI860 configuration.
CI860 supports redundant operation and indicates primary and dual mode from the front LEDs. The two interfaces, TP860 baseplates, CEX-Bus positions and network paths must match the approved AC 800M redundancy design.
Use the Control Builder Switch Primary function only with a supported system version. Confirm traffic and run status on both interfaces before placing the redundant pair into process service.
Install CI860 on the correctly coded TP860 and confirm that the AC 800M processor is not a High Integrity model. Verify CEX-Bus power, RJ45 link status, addressing and the stored configuration before project download.
Fieldbus Builder FF and Control Builder load the CI860 settings with the controller application. Validate HSE and any linked H1 live lists, device assignment and primary/dual status after commissioning.
