Description
Product Overview
The ABB CS513 (Part No. 3BSE000435R1) is an IEEE 802.3 LAN / MB300 communication module for the ABB Advant AC400 series controllers, used in Advant OCS distributed control systems. It establishes high-speed, deterministic bus communication between controllers and peripheral nodes, supporting standard MB300 and extended MB300E bus modes via onboard DIP switch settingsABB Group.

Key Features
- Supports MasterBus 300 (MB300) deterministic real-time bus for Advant DCS
- DIP switch selectable for standard or extended bus operation
- Built-in status LED indicators for rapid fault diagnosis
- Rugged industrial PCB construction for continuous process control operation
- Hot-slot compatible in Advant controller racks for maintenance
- Enables inter-controller and I/O station communication within Advant OCS systems
Installation & Test Notes
- Power down the rack before inserting or removing CS513 module to avoid backplane damage.
- Set DIP switches to match the target bus mode (MB300 / MB300E) per system design.
- Secure the module firmly in rack slot and tighten front panel screws.
- Apply rack power and verify RUN / LINK LED status; check bus communication via controller diagnostic tools.
- Perform bus load and redundancy test if deployed in dual-bus architecture.
Application
Typically deployed in power plants, pulp & paper, chemical and oil & gas process control sites running legacy ABB Advant AC400 DCS platforms, serving as the critical bus communication gateway for controller networking.
FAQ
Q: What controller series does CS513 3BSE000435R1 work with? A: It is designed exclusively for ABB Advant AC400 family controllers including AC410, AC450 and AC460.
Q: How to switch between MB300 and MB300E mode? A: Adjust the DIP switch on the module front; position 1 for standard MB300, position 3 for extended MB300E.
Q: Is this module Ethernet for TCP/IP? A: No, it is IEEE802.3 physical layer for ABB proprietary MB300 fieldbus, not standard TCP/IP Ethernet.
