This user manual describes the configuration of the PROFIBUS DP-V1 in the 

800xA control system using the communication interface CI854/CI854A. 

The main areas covered in this user manual are:

• PROFIBUS functionalities available with CI854/CI854A,

• Hardware configuration with the Control Builder M,

• Supervision and status visualization of the PROFIBUS.

The reader of this manual is expected to have good knowledge of the 800xA control 

system and the PROFIBUS in general.

This user manual is not the only source of instruction for PROFIBUS. ABB offers 

training courses for those who use ABB control systems.

Any security measures described in this User Manual, for example, for user 

access, password security, network security, firewalls, virus protection, etc., 

represent possible steps that a user of an 800xA System may want to consider 

based on a risk assessment for a particular application and installation. This risk 

assessment, as well as the proper implementation, configuration, installation, 

operation, administration, and maintenance of all relevant security related 

equipment, software, and procedures, are the responsibility of the user of the 

800xA System.

This manual does not provide any information on the use and configuration of the 

PROFIBUS bus communication interface module CI851. This information is 

found in the online help of Control Builder M.

It also does not provide any information about installing the PROFIBUS network. 

This information is provided in the AC 800M PROFIBUS DP Installation manual 

(3BDS009029*) for PROFIBUS DP-V1.

Intended User

This manual is intended for application engineers and for engineers who are 

planning the design of a PROFIBUS system. The reader should be familiar with 

Control IT for AC 800M products and the programming tool, Control Builder M. 

Also the reader should be familiar with the hardware and software functionality of 

the 800xA system products. Apart from this, the user should have a good 

PROFIBUS knowledge.

How to Use this User Manual
