PROFIBUS DP and Integrated I/O for Extreme-Condition Automation

The ABB CI541-DP-XC combines PROFIBUS DP connectivity with a comprehensive selection of digital and analogue I/O. The eight digital inputs and eight transistor outputs provide direct connection to common 24 V DC field devices, while the four configurable analogue inputs support voltage, current and RTD measurement.

The analogue section provides flexible signal conditioning for 0...10 V, −10...+10 V, 0/4...20 mA, Pt100, Pt1000 and Ni1000 signals. The two analogue outputs can independently be configured for −10...+10 V, 0...20 mA or 4...20 mA operation, making the module suitable for a range of process-control and instrumentation applications.

For high-speed applications, selected digital I/O channels can be configured for fast-counter operation, with counting frequencies of up to 200 kHz depending on the operating mode. The XC platform extends the environmental capability of the system, with operation specified from −40 to +70 °C and additional resistance to demanding industrial conditions.
