Description
🔹 Product Introduction
The ABB CI873K01 is an Ethernet/IP communication interface for ABB AC 800M and System 800xA automation systems. It provides communication between the AC 800M controller environment and external Ethernet/IP devices, supporting industrial network integration and data exchange. The CI873 communication unit uses the CEX-Bus and is supplied in the CI873K01 package together with the TP867 baseplate. ABB documentation specifies Ethernet/IP communication at 10/100 Mbps through the RJ45 interface.
The CI873 supports EtherNet/IP and can be used in redundant configurations. It is suitable for PLC/DCS integration, remote device communication, system expansion, replacement projects, and maintenance of existing System 800xA installations. The package designation CI873K01 officially corresponds to ABB article number 3BSE056899R1 in ABB product documentation.
