Key Features and Benefits

Versatile I/O Expansion

The ABB DSQC 328A 3HAC17970-1 offers 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs, providing ample capacity to connect a variety of industrial devices. The inputs efficiently capture signals from proximity sensors, limit switches, and emergency stops, while the outputs drive actuators, solenoid valves, and indicator lights. This balanced I/O configuration makes the module suitable for diverse applications, from simple material handling tasks to complex assembly processes, eliminating the need for multiple smaller modules and simplifying system architecture.

High-Speed Signal Processing

Equipped with fast-response digital inputs (3 ms response time), the ABB DSQC 328A 3HAC17970-1 ensures that critical signals—such as safety interlocks or position triggers—are processed without delay. This speed is essential in time-sensitive applications, such as high-speed pick-and-place operations, where even minor delays can disrupt production cycles. The outputs, rated at 2 A per channel, deliver sufficient power to drive most industrial actuators directly, reducing the need for external relays and lowering system complexity.

Seamless Integration with ABB Robots

Designed specifically for ABB robot controllers (including IRC5 and OmniCore series), the ABB DSQC 328A 3HAC17970-1 connects via ABB’s proprietary robot bus, enabling plug-and-play integration. This direct communication ensures that I/O signals are synchronized with the robot’s motion control, allowing for precise coordination between robotic movements and external device actions. ABB’s RobotStudio software simplifies configuration, enabling engineers to map I/O signals to robot programs, monitor status, and troubleshoot issues intuitively.

Robust Industrial Design

Built to thrive in harsh environments, the ABB DSQC 328A 3HAC17970-1 features a rugged enclosure with protection against dust and vibration. Its wide operating temperature range (0 °C to 45 °C) ensures reliable performance in factory floors with fluctuating temperatures, while built-in overcurrent protection safeguards both the module and connected devices from electrical faults. This durability minimizes downtime and extends the module’s service life, making it a cost-effective choice for long-term industrial use.

Space-Efficient Installation

With its compact dimensions (160 mm × 100 mm × 60 mm) and DIN rail mounting, the ABB DSQC 328A 3HAC17970-1 fits easily into crowded control cabinets. The DIN rail design allows for quick installation and repositioning, facilitating system modifications or expansions. Its lightweight construction (1.2 kg) reduces stress on mounting structures, ensuring stability even in cabinets with multiple modules.
