The ABB CI526 (Part No. 3BSE006085R1, 3BSE012870R1) is a communication interface module used within ABB distributed control systems to enable network coupling and system integration. It serves as a communication bridge between field networks and higher-level control architectures, supporting reliable data exchange in process automation environments.
The CI526 is typically applied in ABB control platforms where robust communication, redundancy capability, and stable network performance are required. Its compact form factor and DIN-rail mounting design make it suitable for control cabinets with limited installation space.
Note: Some publicly circulated data incorrectly lists this module as including built-in digital or analog I/O channels. The CI526 is strictly a communication interface module and does not provide direct field I/O channels.
