Configured for MasterBus 300 (MB300) network integration in Advant Controller 400 series systems, the ABB CI513 (3BSE000435R1) operates as a dedicated hardware component for deterministic IEEE 802.3 Ethernet communication within ABB distributed control environments.

The CI513 serves as the primary bridge for peer-to-peer communication between AC400 series controllers and higher-level systems like 800xA. Unlike standard commercial Ethernet, the CI513 implementation is tuned for MB300 protocol requirements, providing the necessary determinism for time-critical process data exchange. The module incorporates robust galvanic isolation to safeguard controller logic against network-borne surges and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its integration into the subrack backplane allows for efficient data routing while maintaining the integrity of the controller's internal bus communication velocity.
Q: Does the CI513 support hot-swapping during active system operation?
A: Yes, the CI513 is designed for modular subrack systems and supports hot-swapping. This allows for the removal and replacement of the module without requiring a full system shutdown, facilitating maintenance in high-availability environments.
Q: Is the 10 Mbps data transmission rate a limitation for large-scale data transfer?
A: The 10 Mbps rate is fixed to align with the timing and determinism requirements of the MasterBus 300 protocol. While not comparable to modern high-speed office Ethernet, this rate ensures that process data packets maintain priority and predictable delivery times necessary for industrial control stability.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
