The ABB DSQC500 3HAC3626-1 functions as a combined analog and digital I/O module for ABB industrial robot controllers. This unit interfaces with both discrete field devices and analog sensors within a single module. You can simplify cabinet wiring by consolidating multiple signal types.

Technical Specifications

Comprehensive Mixed I/O Configuration

The DSQC500 3HAC3626-1 combines 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs with 4 analog inputs in a single module. This mixed I/O design reduces the number of modules required for typical robot applications. You therefore save valuable space within control cabinets.

Digital inputs operate at 24 VDC with only 6 mA typical current draw, minimizing loading on field sensors. You can configure inputs as sink or source to match existing field wiring conventions. Each digital output delivers 0.5 A with short circuit protection that automatically resets after fault clearance.

High-Precision Analog Measurement

We equipped this module with 4 differential analog input channels for superior noise immunity. Each channel features a 16-bit ADC achieving ±0.1% accuracy for precise measurement of process variables. You can connect pressure transmitters, position feedback devices, and force sensors directly.

Analog inputs accept 0-10 V, ±10 V, or 4-20 mA signals through software configuration. This flexibility accommodates various sensor types without external signal conditioners. The 2 ms update rate ensures timely response for closed-loop control applications.

Robust Electrical Design

The ABB DSQC500 provides 500 V isolation between field wiring and logic circuitry. This isolation protects the robot controller from voltage transients and ground loops common in industrial environments. Consequently, you achieve higher system reliability and reduced unexpected downtime.

LED indicators for each digital I/O channel provide immediate visual status feedback. Technicians can quickly verify signal states during commissioning and troubleshooting without multimeters or laptops.

Mechanical Integration

Measuring 290 mm x 60 mm x 230 mm and weighing 1.4 kg, this I/O module fits standard ABB control cabinet layouts. The slim 60 mm width allows space-efficient mounting alongside other DSQC series modules. 37-pin D-sub, 9-pin D-sub, and removable terminal connectors accommodate various wiring preferences.

The module draws only 4 W typical from the 24 VDC backplane supply. Low power consumption minimizes thermal loading within the control cabinet.

Seamless Robot Integration

The DSQC500 3HAC3626-1 connects directly to IRC5 robot controllers through the internal backplane. Configuration occurs through standard robot programming software without additional tools. The module automatically appears in the I/O configuration tree for straightforward addressing.

Application Versatility

This mixed I/O module suits diverse robotic applications including welding, material handling, assembly, and machine tending. Digital signals handle limit switches, pushbuttons, and indicator lights while analog inputs monitor pressure, position, and force. With CE, UL, CSA, and RoHS approvals, the ABB DSQC500 3HAC3626-1 meets global standards for industrial automation equipment.
