ABB 200-CIE
ABB 200-CIE is an Ethernet Communication Interface module for ABB’s legacy Series 200 / SattCon / SattLine control systems. It provides one Ethernet communication channel and is designed to connect the controller system to an Ethernet network. ABB documentation identifies it specifically as a central-system communication interface.
Product Positioning
The 200-CIE is a dedicated IEEE 802.3 Ethernet communication interface, rather than an I/O module or CPU. It was used in older ABB Series 200-based automation architectures to provide Ethernet connectivity for controller-level communication.
Core Functions
- 1 × Ethernet communication channel
- IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
- Communication protocols include SattBus and MMS
- Provides the communication logic required for Ethernet networking
- Supports connection to an external Ethernet transceiver through an AUI interface
- Network address configured using rotary switches
- Battery-backed buffer memory helps retain communication-related data during power interruptions.

The 15-pin AUI connector is particularly important: the 200-CIE does not simply provide a modern RJ45 Ethernet port. An external Ethernet transceiver/MAU is required for the network connection.
Hardware Composition
The module includes:
- Ethernet communication circuitry
- AUI interface
- External 24 V DC power circuitry
- Rotary network-address switches
- Status LEDs
- Battery-backed memory
- Series 200 backplane interface
ABB documentation specifies approximate dimensions of H163 × W45 × D91 mm, excluding connectors and snap locks, with a weight of about 0.41 kg.
Typical Applications
The 200-CIE was typically used in:
- ABB Series 200 PLC/control systems
- SattCon 200 systems
- SattLine control systems
- Legacy industrial Ethernet networks
- Controller-to-supervisory-system communication
- Communication between older ABB control platforms and plant-level Ethernet systems
It belongs to ABB's older Satt control-system family; ABB continues to provide documentation and support information for this heritage platform.
Maintenance Considerations
Because this is a legacy communication module, particular attention should be paid to:
- Backup battery condition
- AUI cable and external MAU/transceiver
- 24 V DC supply stability
- Rotary address-switch settings
- Ethernet communication LEDs
- Compatibility with the existing SattLine/SattCon software and network architecture
The external AUI transceiver and cable are especially important when replacing a 200-CIE, because simply connecting a modern RJ45 Ethernet cable directly to the module is not sufficient.
Overall Evaluation
ABB 200-CIE is a legacy Ethernet communication interface for Series 200 control systems. Its main value today is maintaining or repairing existing ABB SattCon/SattLine installations rather than building new Ethernet systems. The key characteristics are 10 Mbit/s Ethernet, one channel, AUI connection, external 24 V DC supply, and compatibility with the Series 200 architecture.
