ABB 230K24 (1KGT011800R5001) – AC800M Communication Unit Module | DCS Control Platform
Engineering Background
The ABB 230K24, part number 1KGT011800R5001, is a dedicated communication unit module engineered for the ABB AC800M Distributed Control System (DCS) platform — one of ABB’s flagship process automation architectures deployed globally in oil & gas, power generation, pulp & paper, and chemical processing industries. This module serves as the backbone of inter-controller and field-device communication within AC800M controller cabinets.
Product Positioning
Designed for procurement engineers and automation specialists who require a verified, drop-in replacement or expansion module for existing AC800M installations. The 230K24 eliminates the need for system re-engineering, maintaining full backward compatibility with the AC800M hardware ecosystem. Konmask.com sources this module through established industrial supply channels, with each unit subject to pre-shipment functional verification.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
Within the AC800M architecture, the 230K24 communication unit module interfaces directly with the PM8xx series processor modules via the internal S800 I/O bus or equivalent backplane communication channel. It facilitates deterministic data exchange between the controller CPU and connected field devices or remote I/O stations, supporting real-time process control loops with cycle times appropriate for process automation applications. The module integrates seamlessly with ABB’s 800xA System software environment for configuration, diagnostics, and asset monitoring.
