Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the IMCIS22 is discontinued, hard to source, or requires a cost-effective alternative, the following models may serve as functional equivalents or drop-in replacements depending on your system configuration:
- ABB IMCIS21 – Earlier revision of the CIS slave module; verify firmware compatibility before substitution.
- ABB IMCIS23 – Upgraded variant with enhanced diagnostics; backward compatible in most AC800M configurations.
- ABB CI858 – DriveBus / DDCS communication interface; suitable for drive-integrated slave applications.
- ABB CI854A – PROFIBUS DP slave interface; use when migrating to PROFIBUS architecture.
- ABB CI855 – Ethernet-based communication module; consider for modernization projects.
⚠ Always verify hardware revision, firmware version, and backplane slot compatibility before substituting any module. Contact Konmask.com for pre-sales compatibility verification.

Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the IMCIS22 is the correct module for your application:
- Step 1 – Identify your controller: Confirm your base unit is an AC800M series controller.
- Step 2 – Verify communication protocol: IMCIS22 is designed for INSUM slave communication. If your system uses PROFIBUS or Modbus TCP, consider CI854A or CI855 instead.
- Step 3 – Check slot availability: IMCIS22 occupies one module slot on the AC800M base unit.
- Step 4 – Confirm firmware version: Ensure your CBM software version supports IMCIS22 module recognition.
- Step 5 – Quantity & redundancy: For redundant communication setups, two IMCIS22 modules may be required.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can IMCIS22 replace IMCIS21 directly?
A: In most cases yes, but verify the firmware version in Control Builder M. Some older AC800M base units may require a firmware update to recognize the IMCIS22.
Q: Is IMCIS22 compatible with S900 I/O?
A: No. IMCIS22 is designed for the AC800M platform with S800 I/O. For S900 I/O integration, consult ABB’s CI9xx series modules.
Q: What is the difference between IMCIS22 and CI858?
A: IMCIS22 is an INSUM slave interface for marine/power applications; CI858 is a DriveBus/DDCS interface for drive communication. They serve different communication architectures.
Q: Do you provide a warranty on refurbished IMCIS22 units?
A: Yes. Refurbished units carry a 90-day functional warranty. New units follow ABB’s standard warranty terms.
Q: Can I return a module if it is not compatible?
A: Yes, within 30 days of receipt, provided the module is unused and in original packaging. Contact support@konmask.com to initiate a return.
