ABB CI626V1 3BSE012868R1 AF100 Communication Interface Module 30-Day Returns！

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the primary function of the CI626V1 communication interface module?
The CI626V1 module enables communication between Advant Controllers and the AF100 fieldbus over coaxial media. It integrates a modem and supports both primary and redundant configurations.

Which controllers is the CI626V1 compatible with?
The CI626V1 is specifically designed for use with Advant Controller 110 and Advant Controller 160 systems.

Does the CI626V1 support media redundancy?
Yes, the CI626V1 supports full media redundancy on coaxial media. It can operate in configurations where two redundant cables are used to increase availability.

Can the CI626V1 be used in a redundant communication interface configuration?
Yes, two CI626V1 modules can be configured as a redundant pair—one acts as the primary interface, while the other acts as a backup.

How is the backup module addressed in a redundant setup?
In a redundant setup, the backup CI626V1 is assigned an address that is the station address plus 80, allowing both interfaces to coexist on the same bus.

What type of bus cable is used with the CI626V1?
The CI626V1 uses coaxial cables and connects via BNC connectors. Drop cables with BNC T-adapters are typically used for integration.

How are status and faults indicated on the CI626V1?
The front panel of the CI626V1 is equipped with LEDs that indicate operational status, communication activity, and fault conditions.

What is the maximum physical bus distance the CI626V1 supports?
When used on a coaxial segment, the CI626V1 supports up to 2000 meters total bus length. The difference in length between redundant cables must be less than 1200 meters.
