PLCs, Power Supplies & Others

The ABB DSQC500 3HAC3616-1 serves as the primary CPU control board for ABB industrial robot controllers. This module executes motion planning, I/O handling, and communication management for complete system coordination. You can rely on this board for precise and reliable robot operation.

Technical Specifications

High-Performance Processing Core

The DSQC500 3HAC3616-1 features a 32-bit RISC processor with FPU running at 600 MHz. This powerful core handles complex motion calculations for multi-axis coordinated control. You therefore achieve smooth path accuracy even in high-speed applications.

The board includes 128 MB RAM and 64 MB Flash for system operations. 32 MB of user memory stores robot programs, configurations, and application-specific data. This generous capacity supports large and sophisticated automation routines.

Comprehensive Memory Management

We equipped this CPU board with lithium battery-backed RAM for program retention during power-down. The battery maintains all critical data for up to 5 years under normal conditions. This feature prevents program loss during extended shutdowns or maintenance periods.

A real-time clock with battery backup maintains accurate time and date stamps for event logging and scheduled operations. Time-stamped data proves invaluable for troubleshooting and process optimization.

Extensive Communication Capabilities

The ABB DSQC500 provides multiple communication options for flexible system integration. Two Ethernet ports support 10/100 Mbps connectivity for plant networks, remote access, and programming. Two RS-232C ports connect to legacy devices and peripheral equipment.

Two USB 2.0 ports enable convenient program uploads, software updates, and data backup using standard USB drives. The integrated PROFIBUS DP slave and DeviceNet scanner interfaces connect directly to field I/O and higher-level control systems.

Built-In I/O and Status Indication

The CPU board includes 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs operating at 24 VDC. These built-in I/O points handle basic control functions without additional modules. You can connect safety devices, operator stations, and status indicators directly.

LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback for power status, processor run state, error conditions, and network activity. Technicians can quickly assess system health without external tools.

Robust Mechanical Construction

Measuring 310 mm x 70 mm x 250 mm and weighing 2.1 kg, the DSQC500 3HAC3616-1 occupies standard space within ABB control cabinets. The board mounts directly to the panel using integrated standoffs. D-sub, RJ45, and USB connectors provide reliable connections for all interfaces.

Environmental Specifications

The CPU board operates reliably in 5°C to +50°C environments typical of industrial facilities. The -25°C to +70°C storage range allows safe transport and inventory management. For similar automation components, examine the RMS TSG TZ C Static Trip protection device from equipment suppliers.

With CE, UL, CSA, RoHS, and ATEX approvals, the ABB DSQC500 3HAC3616-1 meets global standards for industrial control equipment. This certification ensures compliance for installations worldwide across automotive, packaging, and general automation applications.
