ABB DSQC679 3HAC028357-001 Overview

The DSQC679 3HAC028357-001 is a versatile I/O (Input/Output) module designed by ABB Robotics for integration into industrial automation and robotic control systems. It serves as a critical interface between ABB robots and external devices, enabling seamless communication and control in complex manufacturing environments.

Key Technical Parameters

1. I/O Configuration:
   • Digital I/O Channels: Typically supports 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs (configurable based on setup).
   • Voltage Ratings:
     • Inputs: 24 V DC (sinking/sourcing compatible).
     • Outputs: 24 V DC, 0.5 A per channel (transistor-based).
   • Isolation: Optically isolated inputs/outputs to protect against electrical interference.
2. Communication Interfaces:
   • Fieldbus Protocols: Compatible with DeviceNet or PROFINET (varies by configuration), enabling integration with PLCs, sensors, and other industrial networks.
   • ABB-specific Connectivity: Designed for use with ABB’s RobotWare control systems via the DSQC series infrastructure.
3. Physical Specifications:
   • Housing: Robust industrial-grade casing (IP20 protection).
   • Mounting: DIN rail compatible for easy installation.
   • Operating Conditions:
     • Temperature: -25°C to +55°C (-13°F to +131°F).
     • Humidity: 95% non-condensing.
4. Power Supply:
   • Input Voltage: 24 V DC (±10%).
   • Power Consumption: Typically <5 W (dependent on I/O load).
5. Certifications: Complies with CE, UL, and RoHS standards for industrial safety and environmental regulations.

Functional Capabilities

1. Flexible I/O Management:
   • Enables control of actuators, sensors, grippers, and peripheral devices via digital signals.
   • Configurable input filters to suppress noise in harsh industrial environments.
2. Seamless Integration with ABB Robots:
   • Compatible with ABB’s IRC5 and OmniCore controllers.
   • Supports RobotWare software for simplified configuration and diagnostics.
3. Real-Time Diagnostics:
   • LED status indicators for channel activity, errors, and power supply.
   • Fault detection features (e.g., short-circuit protection on outputs).
4. Scalability:
   • Multiple DSQC679 modules can be daisy-chained or combined with other DSQC series I/O modules (e.g., analog, safety I/O) for expanded functionality.
5. Plug-and-Play Functionality:
   • Pre-configured templates in RobotStudio (ABB’s simulation software) accelerate deployment.

Typical Applications

• Material Handling: Controlling conveyors, palletizers, and grippers.
• Welding Systems: Managing torch activation, gas control, and safety interlocks.
• Assembly Lines: Coordinating vision systems, screwdrivers, and part feeders.
• Packaging: Synchronizing robotic pick-and-place operations with sensors.

Advantages

• Reliability: Built for 24/7 operation in demanding environments.
• Interoperability: Works with ABB’s ecosystem (e.g., IRB 4600, IRB 6700 robots).
• Ease of Maintenance: Hot-swappable design minimizes downtime.
