ABB CI858K01 3BSE018135R1 AC 800M DriveBus Communication Interface Kit

Description

The CI858K01 is a high-speed gateway connecting AC 800M controllers to ABB drives like ACS800 and DCS800 via fiber optics. Mounted on the CEX-Bus, it manages DriveBus communication independently, enabling precise, low-latency drive control in motion-critical applications such as rolling mills, paper machines, and cranes.
