Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can CI853K01 be used as a PROFIBUS DP slave?
A: No. The CI853K01 operates exclusively as a DP Class 1 Master. For slave functionality, use the CI854AK01.
Q: Is CI853K01 compatible with ABB 800xA?
A: Yes. It is fully supported under ABB 800xA System Version 5.x and 6.x when used with compatible PM8xx processor modules.
Q: Can it replace CI853 (without the K01 suffix)?
A: The K01 suffix denotes a kit version including mounting hardware. Functionally identical to CI853; confirm your rack configuration before ordering.
Q: What is the maximum cable length for PROFIBUS DP at 12 Mbps?
A: 100 meters per segment at 12 Mbps. Use repeaters to extend the network. At 1.5 Mbps, maximum segment length is 200 meters.
Q: Do you provide warranty on surplus units?
A: Yes — all tested surplus units carry a 12-month functional warranty from date of shipment.
Q: Can you supply multiple units for a plant-wide upgrade?
A: Yes. We regularly fulfill multi-unit orders for plant upgrades and spare parts programs. Contact us for volume pricing.
