CI865 and TP865 – Satt I/O Interface
Key Features
• Provides one ControlNet port, (a BNC connector 
located on the TP865 Baseplate).
• Simple DIN-rail mounting.

Description
The CI865/TP865 connects ControlNet to AC 800M. The 
module makes it possible to use older Satt I/O system 
(Rack I/O and Series 200 I/O) with the AC 800M 
controller platform but it can not be used as a general 
ControlNet interface. The TP865 Baseplate has one BNC 
connector for connecting I/O racks. The baseplate has a 
code lock, see Table 4 on page 75, that prevents 
installation of an incorrect type of unit onto the TP865 
Baseplate.
The CI865 expansion unit contains the CEX-Bus logic, ControlNet bus logic, CPU 
and a DC/DC converter that supplies appropriate voltages from the +24 V supply, 
via the CEX-Bus.
