ABB CI801 3BSE022366R1 Profibus DP Communication Interface Module – AC 800M Series
When a Profibus DP communication link fails in a process control environment, the consequences cascade instantly — field devices go silent, operator stations lose visibility, and production lines halt without warning. In high-stakes industries such as oil & gas, power generation, and chemical processing, even minutes of unplanned downtime translate into significant financial loss and safety risk. The ABB CI801 3BSE022366R1 is the purpose-built solution that keeps this communication backbone alive, providing a reliable, high-speed Profibus DP interface that your AC 800M controller depends on.
The CI801 (part number 3BSE022366R1) is ABB’s dedicated Profibus DP master/slave communication interface module within the AC 800M controller platform — one of the most widely deployed DCS architectures in global process industries. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the PM8xx processor modules, the CI801 extends the AC 800M’s fieldbus reach to hundreds of Profibus DP slave devices, making it a cornerstone component in distributed control architectures across refineries, power plants, pulp & paper mills, and pharmaceutical facilities worldwide.
