Description
ABB CI630 3BSE011000R1
I. Overview
The CI630 3BSE011000R1 is an industrial communication module and a core component of the Advant OCS system. As an Ethernet communication interface module, its main function is to enable high-speed data interaction between the control system, upper management systems, and third-party devices, supporting standard network protocols such as TCP/IP and UDP. Suitable for scenarios requiring real-time data monitoring and remote management in power, chemical, manufacturing, and other industries, this module constructs industrial Ethernet communication networks through standardized interfaces, serving as a key hub connecting field devices and management layers in Distributed Control Systems (DCS).
II. Functional Features
High-Speed Ethernet Communication
- Supports 10/100 Mbps adaptive Ethernet interfaces, compatible with IEEE 802.3 standards to meet real-time data transmission requirements.
- Supports protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, ARP, and ICMP, enabling seamless docking with devices like PLCs, SCADA systems, and HMIs.
High-Reliability Design
- Operating temperature range: -25°C to +70°C, adapting to temperature fluctuations in industrial environments.
- Electromagnetic interference (EMC) resistance complies with EN 61000 standards, ensuring stable operation in complex electromagnetic environments.
- Supports redundant power input (24V DC) to reduce single-point failure risks.
Flexible Configuration and Diagnosis
- Configures network parameters (e.g., IP address, port number, communication protocol) via ABB Control Builder software.
- Built-in LED status indicators (power, communication, link, activity) display the module's operating status in real time, supporting rapid fault localization.
Modularity and Expandability
- Supports hot-swapping, allowing module replacement without shutdown to improve system maintenance efficiency.
- Can form distributed networks with other ABB modules (such as CPU and I/O modules) to adapt to complex industrial control scenarios.

IV. Working Principle
The core function of the CI630 module is to enable data interaction and protocol conversion in industrial Ethernet, with its workflow divided into the following stages:
Data Collection and Transmission
- As an Ethernet node, it actively or passively receives real-time data (e.g., process parameters, device status) from field devices (such as sensors and PLCs), packages the data via the TCP/IP protocol, and transmits it to the main control system.
- Receives control commands issued by the upper management system, parses them, and forwards them to corresponding devices to achieve remote control (e.g., device start/stop, parameter adjustment).
Protocol Processing Mechanism
- Supports multi-protocol conversion: For example, converting data from Modbus TCP protocol to ABB system-specific protocols and vice versa to ensure compatibility with devices from different manufacturers.
- Supports data caching and queue management to avoid data packet loss under high loads and ensure communication real-time performance.
Network Management and Diagnosis
- Built-in network management functions monitor link status (e.g., bandwidth utilization, bit error rate). When network interruptions or anomalies are detected, alarms are triggered via LED indicators and system logs.
- Supports DHCP for automatic IP address assignment or manual static IP configuration to adapt to different network architecture requirements.
V. Common Faults and Solutions
| Fault Phenomenon | Possible Causes | Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| Power indicator (PWR) not lit | Loose power connection or abnormal voltage | Check power cable connections, measure input voltage within 24V DC (±10%), and replace faulty power modules. |
| Network indicator (LINK) off | Network cable failure, poor interface contact, or IP conflict | Detect cable continuity with a multimeter, replace RJ45 connectors, check IP address settings, and ensure no duplicate addresses. |
| High data transmission delay or packet loss | Excessive network load, mismatched communication rate, or interference | Reduce network load (split network segments), adjust port rate to 100 Mbps (full-duplex mode), add shielding to network cables, and keep away from electromagnetic interference sources. |
| Module unresponsive to configuration commands | Incorrect software configuration or abnormal module firmware | Restart the module and reconfigure parameters via Control Builder; if ineffective, attempt to upgrade the module firmware to the latest version. |
| Protocol conversion failure | Incorrect protocol parameter configuration (e.g., port number, parity bit) | Verify protocol parameters (e.g., Modbus TCP port 502) to ensure consistency with docking devices, and restart the module to enable configurations. |
VI. Extended Application Scenarios
The CI630 module is often used with ABB AC800M controllers and S800 I/O modules to build industrial Ethernet communication networks. Typical applications include:
- Power Industry: Enables real-time data interaction between PLCs and monitoring systems (SCADA) in substation automation systems, supporting remote operation and fault early warning.
- Chemical Industry: Transmits on-site temperature, pressure, and other data to central control rooms via Ethernet in reactor control systems, supporting real-time adjustment of process parameters.
- Manufacturing Industry: Connects devices such as robots and CNC machines in intelligent production lines to build Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), enabling device status monitoring and production process optimization.
