ABB 3BHT300003R1 CI610 IOB_A Bus Extender for Basic Unit

Specification Model

Product Model:3BHT300003R1 CI610

Type: IOB_A bus expander for basic unit expansion

Physical specifications: Standard industrial module design, size to fit common industrial control cabinet installation space, easy to integrate and deploy.

Communication protocol: Adapted with ABB specific communication protocol, it can realise efficient and stable data transmission, and the communication rate with the main system matches the overall demand of the system, which ensures smooth data interaction.

Power supply parameters: the working voltage is usually 24V DC (specific product manual shall prevail), with a certain voltage tolerance range, can adapt to the common voltage fluctuations in the industrial field.

Interface types: Equipped with a variety of interfaces, including bus interfaces for connecting to the main system and sub-interfaces for connecting to expansion devices, the types and number of interfaces meet the needs of different expansion scenarios.

Performance Advantages

Flexible expansion of the system: as a bus expander, it can effectively increase the number of input and output (I/O) points of the system, easily expand the connection capacity of the basic unit, meet the I/O expansion needs of the industrial control system with the expansion of the scale of production or functional upgrades, and realise the flexible expansion of the system scale without the need of replacing the main controller.

Stable and Reliable Transmission: Based on ABB's mature communication technology, it ensures the accuracy and stability of data transmission in the extended bus connection, reduces signal attenuation and interference, and ensures the reliable transmission of data and stable operation of the system even in the complex industrial electromagnetic environment.

Convenient Installation and Maintenance: With modular design, the installation process is simple and convenient, and it can be quickly connected to the existing system; with good maintainability, when a module fails, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced, reducing system downtime and lowering maintenance costs.

Strong compatibility: highly compatible with ABB series of controllers, I/O modules and other equipment, can be seamlessly integrated into the ABB industrial automation system, which is convenient for users to build a unified automation control system and enhance the overall synergy of the system.

Precautions

Installation specification: When installing the device, you should strictly follow the product manual to ensure that the bus interface and sub-interface are correctly connected, so as to avoid the device not working properly or being damaged due to wiring errors. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the installation environment is dry, ventilated, and away from high temperature, humidity and strong corrosive gases to prevent affecting the performance and service life of the equipment.

Power supply adaptation: confirm that the power supply meets the requirements of the equipment, it is strictly prohibited to access the voltage beyond the prescribed range, otherwise the equipment may be damaged. In the process of equipment operation, to avoid frequent power supply on and off, to prevent voltage shock damage to the equipment.

System Configuration: Before connecting to the system, it is necessary to correctly configure the relevant parameters of the bus expander, such as address, communication rate, etc., to ensure that it matches with the parameters of the main system and other expansion devices, or it may lead to communication failures or abnormal system operation.

Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect the bus expander to see if the status of the indicator is normal and whether the interface connection is loose, so as to find and deal with potential problems in time and ensure the stable operation of the equipment.

Related Models

ABB may have other Bus Expander models with similar functionality, such as the CI620. Compared with CI610, CI620 may be upgraded or improved in terms of I/O expansion capability, communication rate, supported communication protocols, etc. It is suitable for industrial automation scenarios with higher requirements for system performance and larger scale of expansion. Users can make a reasonable choice between different models according to the actual project requirements.

Application Scenarios

Industrial automation production line: In large-scale production lines such as automobile manufacturing and electronic assembly, with the refinement of the production process and the increase in the number of devices, the demand for the number of I/O points rises continuously, and the CI610 IOB_A bus expander can be used to expand the I/O connection capacity of PLC and other controllers, to achieve the control and monitoring of more sensors and actuators, and to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the production line.

Process Industry Control System: In the process industry, such as chemical, petroleum, electric power, etc., the control system needs to collect and process a large number of process parameters in real time, and CI610 can help to expand the number of I/O modules of DCS (Distributed Control System), and realise the connection and control of more field instrumentation (e.g., pressure transmitters, temperature sensors, regulating valves, etc.), so as to ensure the stability, safety, and efficiency of the production process.

Intelligent factory renovation projects: In the process of upgrading traditional factories to intelligent factories, it is necessary to add all kinds of intelligent devices and sensors to achieve comprehensive collection of production data and intelligent control. ci610 bus expander can flexibly expand the connection capacity of the existing control system, and conveniently access to the new devices and modules, which helps to upgrade the factory intelligence.

Automation transformation of machinery and equipment: For the automation transformation project of some old machinery and equipment, CI610 can extend the I/O resources of the existing controller to upgrade the automation control of the equipment, improve the automation and production efficiency of the equipment, and reduce the labour cost.
