 ABB DSBC 173A 3BSE005883R1 Bus Extender The ABB DSBC 173A 3BSE005883R1 is a bus extender module designed for ABB industrial automation systems, especially for use in conjunction with the AC 800M and other control platforms. The module is used to extend the communication distance or increase the number of devices connected to a fieldbus system. It acts as a bridge or extender to ensure that signals can be transmitted over longer distances without significant loss or degradation.Bus communication extensions enable it to extend the bus system to cover longer distances or support more devices, ensuring reliable communication. The fieldbus connection is designed to work with Profibus DP, Modbus or other protocols, depending on the specific configuration and setup. Integrates with ABB control systems such as AC 800M or S800 I/O systems, seamlessly integrating into ABB's wider control and automation network. Is part of a modular control system that can be easily expanded and adapted to the changing needs of industrial automation. Like most ABB components, the module is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, focusing on reliability and service life.Frequently asked questions about the product are as follows: - What is the ABB DSBC 173A bus extender used for? It is used to extend the communication capabilities of fieldbus systems in industrial automation. It ensures reliable data transmission over longer distances or allows more devices to be added to the network without signal degradation. It is typically used in ABB control systems. - What fieldbus protocols does the ABB DSBC 173A support? Profibus DP and possibly other fieldbus protocols are supported, depending on the configuration. It is primarily used to extend Profibus DP networks, but Modbus or other standard industrial communication protocols are also supported. - What is the maximum bus length supported by the DSBC 173A? The maximum length of a Profibus network generally depends on the specific configuration of the network. The general rule is that for a standard Profibus system, the maximum length is about 1000 meters at lower baud rates, but this decreases as the baud rate increases. A bus extender helps to increase this range by maintaining signal integrity over long distances.
