ABB CI858K01 DriveBus Interface Module – AC 800M / S800 I/O Series
When a DriveBus communication link fails on the plant floor, the consequences are immediate and severe: variable-speed drives lose their command signals, motors run uncontrolled or trip on fault, and entire production lines grind to a halt. Downtime in process industries can cost thousands of dollars per minute, and without a reliable interface module like the CI858K01, restoring coordinated drive control requires manual intervention at every drive cabinet — an unacceptable risk in modern automated facilities.
The ABB CI858K01 is a dedicated DriveBus Interface module designed for the AC 800M controller platform and S800 I/O system — ABB’s flagship process automation architecture deployed across oil & gas, pulp & paper, metals, and power generation worldwide. Within the AC 800M ecosystem, the CI858K01 occupies a critical position: it bridges the high-speed DriveBus fieldbus protocol directly to the controller backplane, enabling deterministic, cycle-accurate communication with ABB ACS/DCS series drives. Its proven reliability and seamless integration with ABB’s System 800xA engineering environment make it the reference-standard choice for drive network interfaces in large-scale DCS installations globally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the CI858K01 compatible with all AC 800M controller versions?
A: The CI858K01 is compatible with the AC 800M controller family. Compatibility may depend on firmware version and system configuration. Please share your system details when submitting an inquiry so our team can confirm.
Q: Can I use the CI858K01 with non-ABB drives?
A: No. The CI858K01 uses ABB’s proprietary DriveBus protocol, which is only supported by ABB ACS/DCS series drives with DriveBus capability. For third-party drive integration, consider PROFIBUS (CI854K01) or other open-protocol modules.
Q: Do you supply new or refurbished units?
A: We supply both new (factory-sealed) and tested-surplus (refurbished) units depending on availability. Condition is clearly stated in the quotation. All units pass our QA process regardless of condition.
Q: What is the typical lead time?
