ABB PU516 (3BSE013064R1) PCI Engineering Board & Real-Time Accelerator for Advant Master/AC450 Automation Systems

Product Description

The ABB PU516 (catalog number 3BSE013064R1) is an industrial-grade PCI engineering board and real-time accelerator module, purpose-built for ABB Advant Master 800xA and AC450 process control systems to enable high-speed, deterministic data communication between engineering workstations, operator stations, and distributed controller subsystems. This rugged PCI plug-in module features a 5V 32-bit 33MHz PCI bus interface, 1 dedicated MB300 (Advant priority Ethernet) port for real-time process data exchange, 1 configurable RS-232 serial port (supporting Modbus RTU/ASCII and legacy device communication), and 16MB on-board memory for buffer management and program execution. Designed for Unix-based engineering workstations in harsh industrial environments, the PU516 delivers stable operation with EMI/RFI shielding, surge protection, and compatibility with wide temperature ranges, making it ideal for system configuration, program download, process monitoring, and redundant communication architecture in manufacturing, oil & gas, power generation, and water/wastewater treatment applications.

Key Functions

The PU516 engineering board provides mission-critical communication and real-time processing capabilities with these core features: PCI bus interface (5V, 32-bit, 33MHz) for seamless integration into industrial workstations; 1 MB300 port for high-speed, priority-based data transfer to AC450 controllers and Advant Master distributed systems; 1 RS-232 serial port for legacy device connectivity, configuration, and diagnostic tasks; 16MB on-board memory to support buffer management, program execution, and real-time data processing; Real-time accelerator (RTA) functionality to optimize data routing and reduce communication latency in time-critical process control applications; EMI/RFI filtering and surge protection to ensure reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments; RoHS-compliant (exempt per Article 2(4) of 2011/65/EU) industrial-grade components for long-term durability; Compatibility with ABB Control Builder and 800xA engineering tools for easy system configuration and maintenance.

Application Scenarios

The ABB PU516 (3BSE013064R1) is widely deployed in mission-critical industrial automation applications including: Advant Master 800xA and AC450 process control system engineering and operator stations for system configuration, program download, and real-time process monitoring; High-speed data communication between Unix-based workstations and distributed AC450 controller subsystems in oil & gas refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities; Legacy system retrofits to upgrade communication capabilities without replacing existing controller hardware, reducing costs and minimizing downtime; Redundant communication architectures in water/wastewater treatment plants, pulp & paper mills, and manufacturing lines requiring high availability and deterministic data transfer; Engineering and maintenance tasks requiring direct access to controller parameters, diagnostic data, and firmware updates via MB300 and RS-232 interfaces.
