📦Product Overview
The CS513(3BSE000435R1)is a high-performance,redundant CPU module designed for mission-critical process control applications.It serves as the central brain of an ABB DCS rack,running real-time control strategies(e.g.,PID loops,interlocks,sequencing)with high reliability and fault tolerance.
It is typically used in:
Thermal power plants(boiler control,turbine protection)
Combined cycle and CHP plants
Refineries and chemical processing
Water treatment and district heating systems

✅Key Features
High Availability:Dual CS513 modules operate in active/standby(hot backup)mode.If the primary fails,the standby takes over within milliseconds—bumpless transfer.
Deterministic Control:Executes control logic in fixed scan cycles(e.g.,100 ms to 1 s),critical for stable process regulation.
Integrated Redundancy Link:Uses fiber optic cable between two CS513 units to synchronize program state,memory,and I/O images.
Programmable in ABB Languages:
Function Block Diagram(FBD)
Sequential Function Chart(SFC)
Ladder Logic(LD)via Add-On Instructions
Using ABB Control Builder F or Control Builder Plus software.
Large I/O Capacity:Can manage hundreds of I/O points via S900 or S800 remote I/O modules.
Event Logging&Time Stamping:Supports precise event sequence recording(important for fault analysis).

🏭Common Applications
Boiler Control Systems:Combustion management,drum level control.
Turbine Governor&Protection:Overspeed,vibration monitoring.
Burner Management Systems(BMS):Safety interlocks and flame supervision.
Balance of Plant(BOP):Cooling water,fuel gas,air compressor control.
Legacy DCS Upgrades:Often found in systems being migrated to 800xA.
🔧Installation&Maintenance Tips
Redundancy Setup:
Install two CS513 modules in redundant slots(e.g.,Slot 1&2).
Connect them via fiber optic cable(FOI-2 or equivalent).
Configure one as ACTIVE,the other as STANDBY using Control Builder.
Firmware&Memory:
Use memory expansion cards(e.g.,3BHE003617R0101)for larger programs.
Ensure firmware version matches across system components.
LED Indicators:
Green RUN:Module operating normally
Red FAIL:Hardware or software fault
Yellow RDY:Ready(standby mode)
Blinking COMM:Data exchange with peer CPU
Hot Swap:
Safe to replace under power,but ensure standby unit is healthy first.
Battery Backup(if applicable):
Some versions use a CMOS battery to retain clock/time–check every 3–5 years.

❗Obsolescence&Modernization
The CS513(3BSE000435R1)is a legacy DCS processor.ABB has largely transitioned to the 800xA platform with AC 800M controllers.
However,many CS513 systems are still in operation worldwide.
Migration paths include:
Emulation via ABB Symphony Plus with ACE(Advanced Controller Emulator)
Replacement with AC 800M using logic conversion tools
Use of gateways to integrate with modern SCADA/PLC systems
