Description
Overview
The ABB MasterBus 300 CI855 is a communication interface used to establish connectivity between controllers and operator stations in installations based on Advant OCS with Master software. It is also integrated within the System 800xA controller (AC 800M), ensuring seamless communication through the MB 300 protocol. The CI855 interface connects to the CEX-Bus via the TP853 baseplate, which supports dual Ethernet ports for network redundancy, ensuring reliability in critical industrial processes.
Key applications include integration with older plant sections using MB 300-based controllers like the Advant Controller 410, Advant Controller 450, and MasterPiece 200/1, allowing for smooth peer-to-peer communication with newer System 800xA installations.
