Product Overview

The CI513 (3BSE000435R1) is a dedicated IEEE 802.3 Ethernet LAN communication interface submodule engineered for the ABB Advant Controller 400 series. It serves as the primary hardware gateway for AC450 and AC460 controllers to interface with MasterBus 300 networks. This module is essential for high-speed horizontal communication between controllers and vertical integration into Distributed Control Systems (DCS), ensuring deterministic data exchange in complex industrial environments.
