4. Product Introduction

The ABB 3BSE092689R1 (CI867AK01) is a Modbus TCP communication interface package for AC 800M controllers, consisting of the CI867A module and TP867 baseplate. It connects the controller to Modbus TCP networks over Ethernet for data exchange with external devices.

This module fits well in 800xA systems requiring integration of Modbus TCP slaves like flowmeters, analyzers, or third-party PLCs. It supports both master (up to 8 masters per module) and slave (up to 70 slaves) modes, with redundancy and hot-swap for minimal downtime in critical processes.

5. Installation & Configuration Guide

Stage 1: Pre-Installation Preparation (15–25 min) ⚠️ Safety First: Plan downtime if in live system. Lock out/tag out power to controller rack. Wait 5 minutes for discharge. Tools Required: Grounded ESD wrist strap, PH1/PH2 screwdriver, Ethernet cable tester, laptop with Control Builder, smartphone for photos. Data Backup: Export controller application via Control Builder. Photograph existing module (LEDs, Ethernet connections, CEX bus position). Note IP settings, Modbus addresses, and any redundancy config.

Stage 2: Removing the Old Module (10 min)

1. Power down rack or isolate module if redundant.
2. Disconnect Ethernet cable (label port).
3. Release locking tabs/screws on TP867 baseplate; pull module straight out to avoid CEX bus pin damage.
4. Inspect baseplate connectors for dust or bent pins. ⚠️ Note: Keep old module for reference until new one communicates without faults.

Stage 3: Installing the New Module (15–20 min)

1. Wear ESD strap. Confirm exact match (3BSE092689R1, CI867AK01).
2. Configuration Clone (Crucial): No DIP switches – but replicate any hardware jumpers (rare) from photos. Insert into same CEX bus slot; ensure click seating and tab lock.
3. Connect Ethernet cable to RJ-45 (use switch for network; no direct daisy-chain without switch). Self-Checklist: [ ] Seated and locked, [ ] Ethernet connected, [ ] No loose cables.

Stage 4: Power-On & Testing (30–60 min) Pre-Power Check: Verify no shorts on power via multimeter if needed. Power-On Steps:

1. Power rack; observe LEDs (power green, no error; link/activity on Ethernet).
2. Connect via Control Builder; verify module detected in hardware tree.
3. Configure IP address, master/slave mode, and Modbus mappings per application.
4. Download config if changed; test comms with ping or Modbus poll tool.
5. Run system test; monitor for timeouts or errors in diagnostics. ⚠️ Troubleshooting Note: No link LED = check cable/switch or IP conflict. Module not detected = reseat or CEX bus issue. Comms fail = firmware mismatch with 800xA version or wrong protocol settings.
6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can this module be hot-swapped? Yes – it supports hot swap in redundant setups. But confirm redundancy config first; single module requires power-down to avoid bus disruption. In practice, power cycle the rack for safety if not redundant.

Is this model obsolete, and is your stock genuinely new? No, not obsolete as of 2026 – still current for 800xA 6.1.1+ systems. Our units are new original or surplus from verified channels – we provide photos, serial traceability, and power-on/LED test reports on request.

What is the direct replacement if this is out of stock? CI867AK01 is the current variant (CI867A); no direct higher revision noted. For newer projects, check CI873 (Ethernet/IP) or other interfaces if protocol shifts. Always verify compatibility with your 800xA version and CEX bus limits.

Will swapping the module lose communication settings? No – settings (IP, mappings, master/slave) live in the controller application, not the module. After swap, re-download if needed and verify config matches. Ethernet cable/port must reconnect exactly.

Why is the price lower than ABB factory list? Often surplus from excess inventory or spares – genuine ABB hardware. We inspect visually, test power-up/LEDs/Ethernet link, and provide full transparency. You get tested parts faster than OEM channels with aftermarket pricing.
