ABB 3BSE020520R1 is a CI810B AF100 field communication interface module designed to connect ABB S800 I/O to an Advant Fieldbus 100 network. It provides a dedicated fieldbus communication path for reliable exchange of process signals and I/O data, supporting communication speeds up to 1500 kbit/s. Commonly used within ABB control system architectures that utilise S800 I/O communication modules, this unit is supplied as a complete interface set including the CI810B module, terminal blocks, a power supply connector kit, and a TB807 Modulebus terminator, enabling straightforward integration into an existing S800 I/O installation.

What does this communication module do in an ABB control system?
It provides the field communication interface for ABB S800 I/O when used on the Advant Fieldbus 100 (AF100) network, acting as the link between the I/O system and the fieldbus.
Which fieldbus protocol does it support?
It is designed for Advant Fieldbus 100 (AF100) communication.
What communication speed does it operate at?
The module supports a communication speed of 1500 kbit/s on the AF100 network.
Which ABB I/O family is it commonly used with?
It is used with ABB S800 I/O as the field communication interface on AF100-based architectures.
What items are included with the module?
The supplied set includes: 1 x CI810B unit (ABB 3BSE020520R1), 2 x terminal blocks, 1 x power supply connector kit, and 1 x TB807 Modulebus Terminator.
Why is a Modulebus Terminator included?
The included TB807 Modulebus Terminator is used to correctly terminate the modulebus in applicable configurations, helping maintain reliable communication on the bus.
Does the module contain any batteries?
No. The specified number of batteries is 0.
How heavy is the module?
The product net weight is approximately 0.5 kg.
Is it classed as a communication module in ABB documentation?
Yes. It is categorised as a communication module and described as an AF100 field communication interface for S800 I/O.
Is the module subject to RoHS restrictions?
This part is stated as exempt from the scope of the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU under specific exemptions (as referenced by ABB in their declaration for the Advant Master Process Control System).
What is the typical use case for this module within an I/O setup?
A typical use case is integrating S800 I/O into an AF100-based system where the I/O needs a dedicated field communication interface to exchange data over the Advant Fieldbus 100 network.
What should I check before selecting this module for an application?
Confirm the system architecture uses Advant Fieldbus 100, that the I/O platform is S800 I/O, and that you have the required installation accessories (terminal blocks, connector kit, and the TB807 terminator), which are typically included with ABB 3BSE020520R1.
- Connecting ABB S800 I/O stations to an Advant Fieldbus 100 (AF100) network in ABB control system architectures
- Acting as the field communication interface for distributed I/O in process automation cabinets and marshalling areas
- Enabling high-speed fieldbus communication between controllers and remote S800 I/O nodes for real-time signal exchange
- Expanding an existing AF100 segment by adding additional S800 I/O drops without redesigning the complete I/O layout
- Supporting plant upgrades where legacy AF100-based installations are retained while I/O is modernised with S800 I/O hardware
- Integrating remote I/O for large-area plants (for example utilities, water treatment, and general process industries) where long fieldbus runs reduce point-to-point wiring
- Providing a standardised communications layer for multi-cabinet systems that require consistent fieldbus connectivity across several I/O assemblies
- Replacing a failed or ageing AF100 communication interface module in an installed S800 I/O configuration to restore networked I/O communication
