Description
The
ABB CI857K01is a high-performance communication interface module designed for industrial automation systems, supporting dual protocols—Profibus-DP and INSUM Ethernet—to connect PLC controllers (e.g., ABB AC800M series) with distributed I/O devices (e.g., S200 modules). It enables seamless data transmission, real-time monitoring, and reliable control in harsh industrial environments. The module includes a CI857 communication interface and TP853 baseplate, supporting hot-swap functionality for easy maintenance. With robust compatibility and advanced diagnostics, the
CI857K01 is ideal for industries requiring hybrid communication solutions, such as manufacturing, energy, and process control.

ABB CI857K01
- Dual Protocol Flexibility:
Supports both Profibus-DP (for legacy distributed I/O) and INSUM Ethernet (for modern industrial networks), enabling integration of diverse devices.
- Real-Time Diagnostics:
Built-in fault monitoring via ABB Control Builder M ensures proactive maintenance and minimizes downtime.
- Industrial-Grade Reliability:
Operates in extreme temperatures (-40°C to +70°C) and supports IP20 protection for 控制柜 installations.
- Modular Design:
Hot-swap capability and DIN rail mounting (via TP853 baseplate) simplify installation and upgrades.
- Scalability:
Connects up to 128 INSUM devices or 2 INSUM TCP/IP gateways, each supporting 128 peripheral devices (e.g., sensors, actuators).
- Manufacturing: Factory automation, robotics, and assembly lines.
- Energy: Substation SCADA systems and renewable energy installations.
- Process Control: Chemical, oil, and water treatment plants.
- Infrastructure: Smart buildings and transportation systems.
A European automotive factory integrated the CI857K01 to connect 200+ S200 I/O modules across 10 production lines. The module’s dual protocol support streamlined communication between legacy Profibus-DP robots and new Ethernet-based quality sensors, reducing latency by 30% and improving system uptime by 99.9%.

ABB CI857K01
Compared to similar modules, the CI857K01 stands out with:
- Dual Protocol Support: Unifies legacy and modern communication standards in a single module.
- Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably in -40°C to +70°C, exceeding most industrial-grade alternatives.
- Redundancy Flexibility: Hot-swap capability and dual-channel support enhance system resilience.
- Compatibility:
Ensure compatibility with your PLC (e.g., ABB AC800M) and I/O devices (e.g., S200 modules).
- Environment:
Verify temperature (-40°C to +70°C) and humidity (non-condensing) requirements for your installation.
- Protocol Needs:
Choose the CI857K01 for hybrid Profibus-Ethernet systems; opt for newer models (e.g., CI854AK01) for RoHS-compliant, future-proof setups.
- Budget:
Balance cost (competitive pricing for legacy system upgrades) with long-term maintenance needs.
- RoHS Compliance:
The CI857K01 is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant but recommended for legacy systems (pre-2017 deployments). New projects should use RoHS 2-compliant alternatives.
- Installation:
Use the TP853 baseplate (60 mm width) for DIN rail mounting. Ensure proper grounding and cable management.
- Maintenance:
Regularly update firmware via ABB tools. Replace batteries (if applicable) every 5 years.
- Environment:
Avoid corrosive environments. Ensure adequate ventilation in 控制柜 installations.
The ABB CI857K01 is a versatile communication module for hybrid industrial networks, combining Profibus-DP and Ethernet capabilities for legacy and modern systems. Its rugged design, real-time diagnostics, and scalability make it a reliable choice for retrofitting or expanding automation setups. For new installations, consider upgrading to ABB’s latest RoHS-compliant modules (e.g., CI854 series) while leveraging the CI857K01 for cost-effective legacy support.
