ABB RLM01

Product Brief:​ Provides the HN800 bus master interface between the controller’s CEX-bus (AC 800M PM8xx CPU) or Advant Controller’s communication slot and one or more S800 I/O nodes (RIO600). It handles cyclic I/O data exchange, module auto-detection, diagnostics, and supports redundant HN800 A/B buses and redundant interface modules (1:1 hot-standby). The module plugs into the CEX slot of an AC 800M CPU baseplate or into an Advant Controller communication rack.

Description

ABB RLM01

  • Technical Specifications (same as CI840A — see RIO600 section):
    • HN800 Ports: 2 × RJ45 or ST fiber (A-bus / B-bus) — depends on media option
    • Max Remote Nodes: 32–64 (system-dependent)
    • Scan Time: Configurable; typical 10–50 ms node update
    • Redundancy: Supports redundant pair (two RLM01/CI840A in CEX slots of redundant CPUs)
    • Power: From CEX-bus (5 V DC, typ. 200 mA)
    • LEDs: Run, Err, Com A, Com B, Warning
    • Firmware: Loaded from AC 800M baseplate; compatible with Control Builder M / Advant Eng Tool
  • Functional Features / Application / Material / Structure / Working Principle / Installation / Precautions:​ Identical to CI840A — used in:
    • AC 800M controller → S800 local I/O (ModuleBus direct) OR → S800 remote I/O (via RLM01/CI840A → HN800)
    • Advant Controller 450 with S800 I/O retrofit (via RLM01 in Advant comm slot + S800 rack with HN800)
    • Precaution:​ If mixing old RLM01 terminology with new hardware — order CI840A (or CI841 for Profibus DP to S800 I/O). Firmware version must match system release — check compatibility matrix. Always terminate HN800 bus at both ends.
