Communications - AC 800M Communication interfacesCI857

INSUM integration into AC 800M supports higher functionality integration, multidrop configurations, time distribution and time stamping in the switchgear, and utilizes standard Ethernet technology for longer communication distances. The speed of this solution is typically 500 ms for one closed loop (indication from one motor until operation of another, assuming 250 ms cycle time in control execution).

AC 800M controllers access the INSUM functions through function blocks in the INSUM Communication Library. The CI857 is powered by the processor unit, via the CEX-Bus, and therefore does not require any additional external power source.
