Description
The ABB DSBC176 is a Bus Extender Board used in industrial automation applications to extend the length of the Advant OCS bus. It allows you to connect multiple I/O racks or other devices over a longer distance, expanding the reach of your control system.
Key Features:
- Bus Extension: The DSBC176 can extend the Advant OCS bus by up to 12 meters (39.4 feet), enabling you to connect devices that are farther apart.
- Passive Operation: The DSBC176 is a passive device, meaning it does not require any external power. It simply amplifies the bus signals to maintain signal integrity over the extended distance.
- Easy Installation: The DSBC176 is designed for easy installation in standard Advant OCS I/O racks. It can be inserted into a spare slot and connected to the existing bus using ribbon cables.
- Reliable Communication: The DSBC176 ensures reliable communication between devices on the extended bus, maintaining data integrity and preventing signal loss.
Applications:
The ABB DSBC176 is commonly used in various industrial automation applications where I/O racks or other devices need to be connected over a longer distance, such as:
- Large Industrial Plants: Extending the Advant OCS bus to cover the wide area of a manufacturing facility or process plant.
- Distributed Control Systems: Connecting multiple control cabinets or remote I/O modules in a distributed control system.
- Conveyor Systems: Extending the bus along a conveyor belt to control motors, sensors, and other devices throughout the conveyor line.
- Machinery Control: Connecting multiple control panels or machine modules in a large piece of machinery.
