CI873AK01 AC 800M Communication interfaces 

The CI873A is an AC 800M communication interface that connects to external Ethernet devices using the

EtherNet/IP protocol. The TP867 Baseplate has two RJ45 Ethernet connectors, but only the CH1 connector that

supports 100Mbps is used. The CI873 expansion unit contains the CEX-Bus logic, a communication unit, and a

DC/DC converter that supplies the required voltage from +24 V supply through the CEX-Bus.

The CI873A module will only work with System 800xA 6.0.3.3, 6.1.1 and subsequent versions. The CI873A support 6 redundant pairs of CI873A from 5.1 FP4.

The CI873AK01 AC 800M communication interface is an interface module used to connect external Ethernet devices.

It uses Ethernet/IP protocol to communicate with external devices, providing an efficient and stable data transmission channel for industrial automation and control systems.

This interface module has some key features. First of all, it uses the TP867 substrate and is equipped with two RJ45

Ethernet connectors, but usually only uses the CH1 connector that supports 100Mbps to ensure high efficiency

and stability of data transmission. Second, the CI873AK01 expansion unit contains the CEX bus logic, communication

unit and DC/DC converter, which work together to provide the required voltage from the +24V power supply

through the CEX bus, thus ensuring the stable operation of the interface module.

In terms of compatibility, the CI873AK01 module is mainly suitable for System 800xA 6.0.3.3, 6.1.1 and later

versions. Starting with version 5.1 FP4, it also supports 6 redundant CI873A pairs, which further enhances the reliability and stability of the system.

In addition, the communication interface module also supports the use of S200 I/O adapters such as 200-AENTR.

This new adapter provides directly connected S200 I/O functionality for devices such as the SattCon 200, SattLine 200,

Advant Controller 210, Advant Controller 250, and AC 800C. It provides users with an easy and economical way to upgrade.

In summary, the CI873AK01 AC 800M communication interface is a powerful, compatible and stable

communication interface module, which is suitable for Ethernet device connection and data transmission in industrial automation and control systems.
