ABB CI810V2 3BSE013224R1 – AF100 Field Communication Interface | AC 800M DCS Platform
Engineering Background
The CI810V2 is ABB’s second-generation AF100 fieldbus communication interface module, engineered for the AC 800M Distributed Control System platform — ABB’s flagship process automation architecture deployed across refining, power generation, pulp & paper, and chemical industries worldwide. The AF100 (ABB’s proprietary fieldbus) provides deterministic, high-speed communication between the AC 800M controller and remote I/O clusters, enabling distributed architectures that reduce panel wiring costs while maintaining sub-millisecond scan integrity.
Product Positioning
The CI810V2 (part number 3BSE013224R1) supersedes the CI810 with enhanced diagnostics, improved EMC immunity, and extended temperature tolerance. It is the standard fieldbus interface for AC 800M systems requiring AF100 connectivity, and is directly compatible with S800 I/O modules, TB820 ModuleBus Modem units, and TP830 Optical ModuleBus Terminators. Procurement engineers specifying AC 800M expansions, replacements, or spare-parts programs will find the CI810V2 the authoritative choice for AF100 segment termination.

Engineering Advantages
- Deterministic AF100 Scan: 5 Mbit/s optical or electrical fieldbus delivers sub-millisecond cycle times, critical for tight process loops.
- Hot-Swap Capability: Module can be replaced under power in redundant configurations without process interruption.
- Enhanced EMC Immunity (V2): Second-generation design improves noise rejection in electrically harsh industrial environments versus CI810.
- Redundancy-Ready: Paired CI810V2 modules provide 1:1 redundant AF100 segments, eliminating single points of failure in critical loops.
- Integrated Diagnostics: Onboard LED status and Control Builder M diagnostic pages enable rapid fault isolation without external test equipment.
- Firmware Upgradeable: Field-upgradeable firmware via Control Builder M ensures compatibility with future AC 800M software releases.
- Long Product Lifecycle: ABB AC 800M platform has a documented long-term support commitment, protecting capital investment in installed base.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The CI810V2 occupies a dedicated slot in the AC 800M PM8xx processor module backplane. It establishes an AF100 fieldbus segment — either electrical (twisted-pair) or optical (fiber) — connecting to one or more TB820 ModuleBus Modem units mounted in S800 I/O clusters. Each TB820 supports up to 12 S800 I/O modules. The AC 800M controller communicates with all field I/O through the CI810V2 at the AF100 protocol layer, with Control Builder M managing configuration, diagnostics, and firmware. In redundant configurations, two CI810V2 modules operate in active/standby mode; the standby module assumes control within one scan cycle upon primary failure, with no data loss.
Typical Signal Path:
AC 800M PM8xx Controller → CI810V2 (AF100 Interface) → TB820 ModuleBus Modem → S800 I/O Modules → Field Instruments

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the CI810V2 backward-compatible with the original CI810?
A: Yes. The CI810V2 is a direct drop-in replacement for the CI810 in all AC 800M backplane slots. No configuration changes are required in Control Builder M.
Q: Can the CI810V2 support PROFIBUS or PROFINET?
A: No. The CI810V2 is exclusively an AF100 fieldbus interface. For PROFIBUS DP connectivity on AC 800M, the CI854 or CI854A modules are required. For PROFINET, the CI871 is the appropriate module.
Q: What is the maximum AF100 segment length?
A: For electrical (twisted-pair) AF100: up to 100 m per segment. For optical (fiber) AF100 using TB820 with optical modems: up to 1,000 m per segment, depending on fiber type and TB820 variant.
Q: Does the CI810V2 support SIL-rated safety applications?
A: The CI810V2 itself is not SIL-rated. For SIL 1/2 applications on AC 800M, the CI810V2 is used in conjunction with SIL-certified S800 I/O modules and the AC 800M High Integrity (HI) controller variant. Consult ABB’s functional safety documentation for your specific SIL target.
Q: What Control Builder M version is required?
A: CI810V2 is supported from Control Builder M version 5.0 onwards. ABB recommends using the latest available CBM release for full diagnostic and firmware upgrade support.
Q: Do you offer volume pricing for MRO spare parts programs?
A: Yes. Contact support@konmask.com with your annual volume estimate for framework pricing and priority allocation agreements.
