Key Features and Benefits

The ABB DSQC 313 is purpose-built to address the demands of industrial robotics, where precise signal management between robots and external devices directly impacts production efficiency and safety.

Flexible I/O Management: With 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs, the DSQC 313 provides ample capacity to connect a wide range of peripherals. Its configurable 24V DC input/output design (sinking or sourcing) ensures compatibility with diverse sensors, actuators, and control devices—from photoelectric sensors on conveyor lines to solenoid valves in gripper systems. This flexibility makes it a versatile choice for custom automation setups, such as automotive assembly cells or packaging lines.

Reliable Signal Integrity: Engineered to operate in harsh industrial environments (0°C to +60°C), the DSQC 313 minimizes signal interference and ensures stable communication. Its robust construction resists electrical noise and vibration, critical for avoiding false triggers or missed signals in high-speed applications—for example, preventing a robot from mishandling parts due to a delayed sensor input. This reliability reduces costly errors and downtime.

Seamless Robot Integration: As a native component of ABB’s robot ecosystem, the DSQC 313 integrates effortlessly with ABB IRC5 controllers via the Robot Controller Bus. This direct connection eliminates latency, enabling real-time signal processing and fast response times—essential for synchronized tasks like robotic pick-and-place operations coordinated with conveyor movement. Setup is simplified through ABB’s RobotStudio software, allowing quick configuration of I/O mappings without complex programming.

Enhanced Safety and Protection: Each output channel is rated for up to 0.5A (with an 8A total limit), and the module includes built-in overload protection to safeguard connected devices. This prevents damage from current spikes, extending the lifespan of peripherals and reducing maintenance costs. In safety-critical applications, such as robotic cells with emergency stop systems, the DSQC 313 ensures reliable transmission of safety signals, adhering to industrial safety standards.
