Product Description
The ABB CS513 (3BSE000435R1) is a specialized communication interface module designed for the Advant OCS (Open Control System) and older MasterPiece 200/1 series. Its primary function is to facilitate RCOM (Remote Communication), which is ABB’s proprietary protocol used for long-distance data exchange between distributed controllers or between a controller and a central supervisory system.
The module acts as a bridge, allowing Advant controllers to “talk” to other ABB systems over dedicated lines, leased lines, or radio links. It is a vital component for large-scale industrial sites where controllers are spread across vast distances and require a reliable, low-bandwidth communication method for status updates and remote command execution.

- Oil & Gas Pipelines: Transmitting flow and pressure data from remote valve stations back to a central hub.
- Legacy System Integration: Providing a communication path for MasterPiece 200 systems within a modern Advant OCS environment.

Operating Precautions
- Protocol Configuration: The CS513 requires precise parameter settings in the AMPL (ABB Master Programming Language) database. Ensure the baud rate and parity settings exactly match the remote modem or receiver.
- Redundancy: In mission-critical links, it is common to use two CS513 modules in a redundant configuration. Verify that the system software is configured to handle “line-switching” if the primary communication path fails.
- Cabling Distance: When using RS-232, keep cable lengths under 15 meters. For longer runs (up to 1200 meters), utilize the RS-485 balanced interface to minimize signal attenuation and noise interference.
- Modem Compatibility: If connecting to a third-party radio or telephone modem, ensure the DTR/DSR and RTS/CTS signals are correctly mapped, as the RCOM protocol relies on specific handshake sequences for data integrity.
