Description

Overview
The ABB CI857 (3BSE018144R1) is a high-performance communication interface module designed for seamless integration with ABB AC 800M controllers. Engineered for industrial switchgear environments, it provides stable Ethernet connectivity for INSUM systems, supporting precise time distribution, timestamping, and multidrop network configurations. Its compact DIN-rail mountable design allows easy installation without additional power supplies, as it draws power directly from the CEX-Bus.
