ABB SST-DN3-PCI-2 DSQC658 DeviceNet PCI Communication Card

Functional Features

• High-Speed & Real-Time Communication: Supports selectable data transfer rates (125/250/500 kbps) to match different application latency requirements, ensuring real-time data exchange for time-critical tasks like robot motion control and process monitoring.
• Broad Compatibility: Complies with ODVA DeviceNet standards, enabling seamless integration with ABB robot controllers (e.g., IRC5), third-party DeviceNet sensors, actuators, and PLCs, eliminating interoperability issues.
• Dual-Port Design: Features two independent DeviceNet ports, allowing the card to act as a network bridge or connect to two separate DeviceNet segments, enhancing network flexibility and expansion capabilities.
• Easy Configuration & Diagnostics: Supports configuration via ABB’s dedicated software tools (e.g., RobotStudio) or third-party DeviceNet configuration software. Built-in status LEDs (power, network activity, error) provide visual diagnostics for quick troubleshooting of network issues.
• Robust Industrial Design: Withstands wide temperature ranges (0°C–60°C) and electrical interference, ensuring stable operation in harsh industrial environments such as automotive factories, metal processing plants, and assembly lines.
• Reliable Data Integrity: Incorporates error-checking mechanisms (CRC) and fault-tolerance features to prevent data loss or corruption, ensuring consistent and accurate data transmission between the host PC and network devices.

Application Scenarios

• ABB Robot Control Systems: Integrates with ABB IRC5 robot controllers, enabling industrial PCs to monitor and control robot operations (e.g., motion parameters, I/O status) via DeviceNet, supporting applications like robotic welding, material handling, and assembly.
• Automotive Manufacturing: Connects IPCs to DeviceNet networks in automotive production lines, facilitating data exchange between production management systems and equipment such as conveyor belts, welding robots, and quality inspection sensors.
• Process Control Industries: Used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing plants to link IPC-based monitoring systems with DeviceNet-compatible valves, pumps, and temperature/pressure sensors, enabling real-time process adjustment and fault detection.
• Machine Automation: Integrated into CNC machine tools, packaging machinery, and printing equipment, allowing host PCs to control machine I/O devices (e.g., grippers, feeders) and collect production data for efficiency analysis.
• Industrial Network Expansion: Serves as a bridge to extend DeviceNet networks in large-scale factories, connecting multiple network segments and ensuring consistent communication between distributed equipment and central control systems.
