ABB EI813F 3BDH000022R1 10BaseT Ethernet Communication Module

EI813F 3BDH000022R1 is a single-slot 10Mbps Ethernet communication card for ABB AC800F Freelance DCS controller (PM802F/PM803F), manufactured in Switzerland. It adopts IEEE802.3 10BaseT twisted-pair standard with shielded RJ45 port, acting as core network gateway to realize bidirectional data interaction between controller, engineering station, HMI operator panel and upper SCADA/MES systems.

This module carries independent communication processor and onboard cache to offload CPU operation load, supports redundant network deployment and complete hardware self-diagnosis. It requires Freelance software V7.1 SP2A or above for matching configuration, widely stocked as spare parts for power, petrochemical and water plant old AC800F DCS cabinet communication fault maintenance and network expansion projects.
