ABB SC510 3BSE003832R1

Product Overview

ABB SC510 is a key hardware expansion platform in the Advant Master distributed process control system. 3BSE003832R1 is defined as a Submodule Carrier without CPU. The core function is to serve as a carrier of physical and electrical interfaces for installing and carrying various functional communication submodules.

In the architecture of the Advant Master system, in order to achieve flexible functional expansion and save valuable rack slots, ABB adopted the design philosophy of "master-slave" or "carrier board-sub-card". Substrates like the SC510 do not contain any processing capabilities themselves. They mainly provide backplane connectors, power distribution, heat dissipation structures, and one or more dedicated slots. The real function is implemented by the sub-modules inserted into it. This design greatly enhances the modularization degree and space utilization efficiency of the system. For instance, an SC510 carrier board can support two CI531 sub-modules, thereby providing up to four RS-232 serial ports within a standard slot, which is incomparable to traditional single-function modules.

Product Functional Features

Modular expansion platform

Sub-module host. The core value of SC510 lies in its ability to act as a "host". The 3BSE000863R1 can accommodate specific series of communication Submodules and seamlessly integrate the functions of these submodules into the backplane bus of the Advant Master system.

Save rack space. This is the most significant advantage. By installing multiple sub-modules on a single SC510 carrier board, the number of I/O or communication points can be multiplied while occupying only one rack slot. This is crucial for application scenarios where space is tight or a large number of serial communication ports are required.

Simplify the system architecture and wiring

Centralized power supply and communication. All sub-modules inserted into the SC510 obtain power and data communication from the system backplane through the carrier board, eliminating the need for separate wiring for each sub-module. This greatly simplifies the wiring inside the cabinet, reduces the error rate, and enhances the tidiness and maintainability of the system.

Unified management. In ABB's engineering software, the SC510 and its sub-modules can be configured, diagnosed and managed as an integrated unit, enhancing engineering efficiency.
