The ABB CI801 module, with part number 3BSE022366R1, is part of ABB’s Distributed Control System (DCS). Specifically, it is an I/O module used in the 800xA system, which is ABB’s platform for automation and control in industries such as power, oil and gas, chemicals, and other process industries.

Product Name:

ABB CI801 – Digital I/O Module

Product Description:

The CI801 module is a digital input/output (I/O) module designed for use in ABB’s 800xA DCS. It provides the interface between the process control system and field devices, allowing the system to read input signals (e.g., from sensors) and send output signals (e.g., to actuators). The module is part of ABB’s Compact I/O product family and is often used to connect to digital field devices in industrial automation setups.

Product Parameters & Specifications:

• Module Type: Digital Input/Output (I/O) module
• Part Number: 3BSE022366R1
• Power Supply: 24 V DC
• Input Types:
  • Digital Inputs: Typically, volt-free contacts or 24V DC (sink/source)
  • Digital Outputs: Typically, relay outputs or transistor outputs, depending on the configuration
• Channel Configuration:
  • 16 digital input channels
  • 16 digital output channels
  • Inputs and outputs are typically configured independently based on the process needs
• Communication Interface:
  • Fieldbus: Used to communicate with the DCS, typically through a communication network like Profibus, Modbus, or Ethernet/IP
  • Backplane Communication: Uses the System Bus for communication with the main controller and other modules in the system
• Mounting: Can be mounted on the 800xA system’s I/O backplane or in remote I/O racks
• Diagnostics: Supports extensive self-diagnostics, allowing for quick identification of faults or failure points in the system
• Operating Temperature: Typically ranges from 0°C to 60°C (specific range may vary by model)
• Dimensions: The module is compact and designed for easy integration into standard DIN rail or panel-mount configurations

Product Use:

• Control Systems: Used in process control applications to interface between the DCS and field devices.
• Process Automation: Collects digital input signals from field sensors (e.g., limit switches, on/off sensors) and sends digital output signals to actuators (e.g., valves, relays).
• Industrial Systems: Suitable for use in industries such as oil & gas, chemical plants, power generation, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and any system requiring reliable I/O integration.
• Flexible Integration: It is commonly used in modular I/O systems where individual digital input/output channels are needed for specific equipment or operations.

The CI801 module plays a crucial role in enhancing the reliability and efficiency of industrial control systems, ensuring smooth communication between control systems and the physical processes they monitor or control.
