Product Introduction

The ABB CI868K01-eA is a high-performance dedicated communication interface module designed exclusively for the ABB AC800M-eA controller and System 800xA DCS platform, specially optimized for power industry substation automation and intelligent power plant control scenarios. Fully compliant with the international IEC 61850 substation communication standard, it supports MMS client/server data interaction and high-speed GOOSE message transmission, realizing seamless data interconnection between DCS control systems and on-site intelligent IED protection devices. With built-in precise network time synchronization and professional industrial anti-interference design, it ensures accurate, stable and real-time data transmission for power monitoring, logic interlock and protection trip functions, widely used in thermal power plants, hydropower stations, power grid substations and industrial power distribution automation systems.

Content Details

The CI868K01-eA module adopts standard compact rack-mounted structure, perfectly matching the slot installation specifications of AC800M-eA controller rack and S800/S100 I/O rack, occupying only a single cabinet slot to save internal cabinet space effectively. The module is powered by 5VDC backplane power supply with low power consumption below 5W, featuring stable power supply operation and strong anti-fluctuation capability, adapting to long-term 24/7 uninterrupted industrial operation. It is equipped with dual independent Ethernet communication ports, supporting redundant network topology configuration, which completely avoids single-point network failure, greatly improving the stability and reliability of power system communication links.

Complying fully with IEC 61850 core protocols, the module supports MMS protocol for remote data reading, parameter modification, equipment control and real-time data monitoring, and high-speed GOOSE message fast transmission mechanism for millisecond-level protection signal interlock and trip command delivery, meeting the high real-time requirements of power system protection control. It integrates SNTP network time synchronization function, which can be used as a time synchronization node to provide unified clock calibration for all field IED devices, ensuring consistent time sequence of system SOE event records and fault log data, facilitating subsequent fault analysis and system debugging.

This communication module supports offline SCD file configuration and online remote download updates, realizing non-stop parameter modification and program upgrade without restarting the module, greatly improving on-site engineering commissioning and daily maintenance efficiency. It comes with a built-in independent web diagnostic server, engineers can access module operation data, network link status, message transmission records and fault codes through a standard browser, realizing intuitive and efficient remote diagnosis and troubleshooting. Multiple onboard LED status indicators clearly display module power status, network connection, communication running state and alarm faults, supporting rapid on-site fault location.

With industrial-grade EMC electromagnetic compatibility design, the module resists strong electromagnetic interference, voltage surge and on-site mechanical vibration in substation high-interference environments. It features a wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C and storage temperature of -40°C to +70°C, with conformal coating and dust-proof and moisture-proof treatment on the circuit board, adapting to harsh industrial cabinet operation environments. As a core communication spare part for ABB 800xA power automation systems, it is widely used for old equipment replacement, system maintenance, function expansion and system upgrade. Every CI868K01-eA module passes strict full-function communication testing, long-term thermal aging test and stability screening before delivery to ensure zero-failure stable operation after on-site installation.
