PROFINET IO Communication Characteristics
The CI871A functions as a PROFINET IO communication interface for ABB control system configurations. It provides the hardware interface required for PROFINET IO communication, while the supplied TP867 baseplate provides the corresponding mounting and connection structure.
The CI871AK01 package combines the CI871A interface and TP867 baseplate as one ordered configuration. Therefore, installation requires consideration of both the communication module and its specified baseplate.
ABB limits the stated software compatibility to 800xA 6.0.3.3 and 6.1.1, Compact Control Builder 6.0.0-3 and 6.1.1, and subsequent supported versions. Firmware and system configuration should therefore match the installed control-system release before commissioning.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What communication protocol does the CI871AK01 support?
A: The CI871AK01 provides a PROFINET IO interface through the CI871A communication interface.
Q: What hardware does the CI871AK01 package contain?
A: The package contains one CI871A communication interface and one TP867 baseplate.
Q: What software versions are specified for the CI871AK01?
A: ABB specifies 800xA 6.0.3.3 and 6.1.1, Compact Control Builder 6.0.0-3 and 6.1.1, and onwards.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Install the CI871A on the supplied TP867 baseplate according to the ABB hardware installation procedure.
- Verify mechanical engagement between the communication interface and baseplate before energizing the control system.
- Route PROFINET communication cables separately from high-current and high-noise power conductors where practical.
- Maintain proper cable shielding and grounding according to the applicable ABB installation standard and plant EMC requirements.
- Check connector seating and cable retention before commissioning network communication.
- Confirm that the installed 800xA or Compact Control Builder version falls within the compatibility range specified by ABB.
- Do not apply unspecified power or environmental limits during installation. Use the applicable ABB hardware manual for parameters not included in this datasheet.
