Product Q&A
Q: What is the difference between the CI857 and the CI857K01? A: The “K01” designation usually refers to a kit version, which includes the communication module and the necessary baseplate or accessories for installation.
Q: Does this module support hot swap? A: Yes, it is designed for high availability and can be replaced while the system is powered (Hot Swap) without shutting down the entire controller.
Q: How does it communicate with the AC 800M CPU? A: It plugs into the CEX-bus (Communication Expansion bus) of the AC 800M controller, allowing the CPU to access motor data as standard I/O points.
