The EI 813F Ethernet Module, with the part number 3BDH000022R1, is a product of ABB. It is designed to provide reliable 10BaseT communication for industrial systems.

Product Basics

Type: Ethernet Module. This classifies it as a device that enables network connectivity within industrial setups, allowing for the transfer of data between different components in an industrial network.

Manufacturer: ABB, a well – known and respected name in the field of industrial automation and power technology. ABB products are recognized globally for their quality, reliability, and innovative features.

Product Origin: Sweden. ABB’s manufacturing facilities in Sweden adhere to high – quality standards, ensuring that the EI 813F module meets strict requirements for performance and durability.

Communication Features

10BaseT Communication: The module supports 10BaseT communication, which is a standard for Ethernet local – area networks (LANs). 10BaseT uses unshielded twisted – pair (UTP) cables, typically Category 3 or higher, for data transmission. The “10” in 10BaseT represents the data transfer rate of 10 Mbps (megabits per second), making it suitable for various industrial applications where this data rate can meet the requirements of real – time data transfer, such as monitoring and controlling industrial processes.

Twisted – Pair Connections: It specifically supports twisted – pair connections. Twisted – pair cables are cost – effective and provide a reasonable level of noise immunity. The twisting of the wire pairs helps to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring stable data transmission in industrial environments that may be filled with electrical noise from machinery and other equipment.

Compatibility

Compatible Modules: The EI 813F is designed to be used in conjunction with PM 802F or PM 803F from ABB. This compatibility allows for seamless integration within an industrial control system. For example, when used with these compatible modules, the EI 813F can facilitate communication between different parts of a control system, such as between a programmable logic controller (PLC) and other devices in the network.

Software Requirements: A software version of V 7.1 SP 2 A or higher is mandatory for the proper functioning of the EI 813F module. This software ensures that the module can communicate effectively with other components in the network, manage data transfer, and perform any necessary configuration or diagnostic functions.

Physical Attributes

Product Net Depth/Length: The module has a net depth/length of 125 mm. This compact size makes it easy to install in various industrial enclosures and control panels, saving valuable space in industrial setups where space may be at a premium.

WEEE Category: It falls into WEEE category 5, which is defined as small equipment with no external dimension more than 50 cm. This categorization is important for environmental and recycling purposes, as it helps in proper disposal and recycling of the module at the end of its useful life.
