Description
The DSBC176 is a Bus Extender Board for ABB’s Advant OCS open control system. It is used to extend the length of the Advant OCS bus, which is a communication network that connects various system components, such as I/O modules, controllers, and operator interfaces.
Key Features:
- Bus Extension: Extends the Advant OCS bus by up to 12 meters (39.4 feet), allowing for a larger and more distributed control system.
- Passive Design: The DSBC176 is a passive device, meaning it does not require any external power source. It simply connects to the existing bus and relays the signals.
- Easy Installation: The DSBC176 is designed for easy installation in Advant OCS I/O racks. It can be inserted into a spare slot without any special tools or configuration.
- Robust Construction: The DSBC176 is built to withstand the harsh industrial environments typically found in control system applications.
Applications:
The DSBC176 is commonly used in various industrial automation applications where the Advant OCS control system needs to be extended over a larger area, such as:
- Large-scale manufacturing facilities: Extending the bus to connect I/O modules and controllers across multiple production lines.
- Process control systems: Extending the bus to connect sensors, actuators, and controllers in distributed process control applications.
- Infrastructure control systems: Extending the bus to connect control systems for buildings, power plants, and other large infrastructure projects.
