Description

The ABB CI535V30(Order Code:3BSE022162R1)is a high-reliability Foundation Fieldbus H1 communication module designed for the AC 800M programmable automation controller within System 800xA.It enables the AC 800M to function as a Link Active Scheduler(LAS)—the master device on a Foundation Fieldbus H1 segment—allowing direct integration of intelligent field instruments such as pressure transmitters,temperature sensors,control valves,and analyzers.With dual independent H1 ports,intrinsic safety options,and integrated segment power,the CI535V30 delivers a robust,all-in-one solution for digital fieldbus networks in demanding process industries.

🔍Note:The CI535V30 is the non-redundant version.For redundant CPU+fieldbus systems,pair it with PM865A/PM866A and use CI541V1 or CI542V1 for redundant FF H1.

Application Scenarios

At a LNG terminal in Qatar,engineers replaced hundreds of analog 4–20 mA loops with Foundation Fieldbus H1 to reduce wiring costs and enable predictive diagnostics.They installed CI535V30 3BSE022162R1 modules in AC 800M racks,each powering and communicating with 16 smart devices(including ABB and Emerson transmitters)over a single twisted-pair cable.The integrated FISCO-compliant power supply eliminated external conditioners,while the dual ports allowed separate segments for safety-critical vs.non-critical loops.Within one year,maintenance calls dropped by 40%,and loop tuning time was reduced by 75%thanks to real-time device alerts(e.g.,valve stiction,sensor drift).

Technical Principles and Innovative Values

True LAS Functionality:Eliminates need for external FF link masters—the CI535V30 schedules all communication cycles(CD,VFD)autonomously.

Integrated Segment Power:Delivers intrinsically safe power directly to the fieldbus—no external power conditioners required in most applications.

Dual Independent Segments:Enables logical separation(e.g.,safety vs.process)or increased device capacity without additional hardware.

Advanced Diagnostics:Monitors signal quality,device status,power consumption,and communication errors—enabling predictive maintenance.

Seamless DCS Integration:FF device parameters(e.g.,PV,OUT,MODE)appear as native tags in System 800xA,enabling alarm management,trending,and faceplates.

Application Cases and Industry Value

In a pharmaceutical cleanroom in Switzerland,sterility and documentation were paramount.The CI535V30 connected 24 FF H1 pressure and temperature transmitters across two classified zones.Its FISCO power ensured compliance with explosion-proof requirements,while real-time DD(Device Description)support allowed operators to calibrate devices remotely via System 800xA—without breaking containment.Audit trails automatically captured all configuration changes,satisfying FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.
