Description
ABB CI930F 3BDH001010R0005 is a high-performance industrial counter input (CI) module from ABB, designed for integration into ABB Advant OCS distributed control systems (DCS) and ABB AC 800PEC programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It specializes in processing high-frequency, high-voltage pulse signals from inductive counters, high-precision encoders, and flow meters, making it a critical component in nuclear energy, aerospace, metallurgy, and offshore oil and gas industries. As the product link has not been provided yet, a detailed description based on ABB’s technical specifications for this model is provided below.
Product Description
The ABB CI930F 3BDH001010R0005 module is equipped with 4 independent counter input (CI) channels, featuring unique dual-voltage signal support: 24 VDC (for standard encoders and packaging counters) and 110/230 VAC (for inductive counters of metal parts or high-voltage devices on rolling mills). Each channel supports both discrete pulses (for counting objects) and sinusoidal signals (for measuring speed/position), with a maximum counting frequency of 150 kHz and absolute accuracy of ≤±0.008%—ensuring reliable data processing even in environments with strong electromagnetic interference (EN 61000-6-4 class), typical of nuclear power plants or large metallurgical facilities.
For example, in nuclear power plants, ABB CI930F 3BDH001010R0005 is integrated into the main circulating pump control system: via 4 CI channels, it receives signals from high-voltage encoders (110 VAC, 1 pulse = 0.1 pump rotation) and inductive counters (24 VDC, for valve position monitoring). ABB CI930F 3BDH001010R0005 converts these signals into digital data without additional adapters and transmits them to the ABB Advant OCS DCS, synchronizing pump operation with the reactor cooling system. Thanks to its high accuracy, ABB CI930F 3BDH001010R0005 ensures a pump speed measurement error of ≤±0.005%, which is critical for complying with the reactor’s safe operating parameters.
ABB CI930F 3BDH001010R0005 features a reinforced hermetic housing (titanium alloy with dual anti-corrosion coating) measuring 170 mm × 130 mm × 50 mm, and mounts on a standard DIN rail (35 mm width). This allows installation in areas with high corrosion risk, radioactive background, or extreme temperatures (ATEX Zone 2, IECEx Zone 2), where maximum reliability is required. It supports the MODBUS TCP/IP protocol (via two redundant Ethernet ports) with a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Mbps—ensuring stable communication with controllers even at distances up to 100 meters (when using Cat6 cables). In the event of an anomaly (e.g., a channel cable break), ABB CI930F 3BDH001010R0005 activates a local RGB error indicator and sends detailed diagnostics (fault type, channel, housing temperature) to the operator panel, allowing technicians to locate the issue within 1–2 minutes.
A key advantage of ABB CI930F 3BDH001010R0005 is its “dual redundant synchronization” function: the module can synchronize data from all 4 channels via either an external clock signal (0.1–200 kHz) or two Ethernet ports (with automatic failover support), eliminating data loss even if one network channel is disconnected. This is critical for aerospace facilities that require continuous monitoring of rocket component positions. Additionally, ABB CI930F 3BDH001010R0005 is equipped with a built-in dual auto-calibrator: monthly, it automatically verifies counting accuracy against an internal standard; annually, it performs calibration against an external standard—maintaining ≤±0.008% accuracy without manual intervention.
Extra protection for ABB CI930F 3BDH001010R0005 includes channel safeguards against overloads (maximum input current ≤50 mA for 230 VAC), short circuits, voltage fluctuations (up to 264 VAC), and electrostatic discharge (±15 kV)—preventing module damage in extreme conditions and extending its service life to 15 years.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions
- Evaluate Operating Conditions: Choose ABB CI930F 3BDH001010R0005 for extreme environments (ATEX Zone 2, offshore platforms) or high-voltage device use. For standard 24 VDC tasks, the ABB CI858 model is suitable.
- Check Compatibility: Use with ABB Advant OCS/AC 800PEC or controllers supporting MODBUS TCP/IP. A MODBUS/PROFINET adapter is required for PROFINET systems.
- Installation: Mount away from radioactive sources or aggressive chemicals; use shielded Cat6 cables for Ethernet to ensure 100-meter reach and reduce interference.
- Maintenance: Annually inspect housing hermeticity (for cracks) and anti-corrosion coating condition; do not interrupt power during monthly auto-calibration. Use only original ABB components for replacement—non-original parts will compromise SIL 3 certification and redundancy.
