- Easy Commissioning: Plug-and-play configuration via ABB’s System 800xA Engineering Tool, with pre-defined GSDML files for Profibus.
- Compact Design: 20% smaller than legacy modules, ideal for space-constrained cabinets.
Industries: Automotive assembly, oil & gas, water treatment, and food & beverage.
Case Study: ABB DSBC172 57310001-KD was deployed in a automotive plant’s paint shop to connect 50+ Profibus-enabled robots and Modbus-based sensors. The module’s protocol conversion reduced system latency by 30%, enabling synchronized control and error-free data logging, while its redundant power design eliminated downtime during voltage fluctuations.
Compared to similar communication modules:
- Faster Protocol Switching: 50% quicker bus initialization (100 ms vs. 200 ms average).
- Dual Redundancy: Built-in power and bus redundancy (vs. optional add-ons in alternatives).
- Wide Voltage Range: 24V DC ±20% tolerance (accommodates unstable industrial power grids).

DSBC172 57310001-KD
- Protocol Requirements: Verify Profibus/Modbus compatibility with existing devices (e.g., sensors, drives).
- Network Scale: Choose the DSBC172 57310001-KD for mid-sized networks (100–150 nodes); upgrade to higher models for larger systems.
- Power Stability: Opt for dual power inputs if voltage fluctuations are frequent (e.g., in older manufacturing facilities).
- Space Constraints: Leverage its compact size for modular machine builds or retrofitting legacy systems.
-
Wiring: Use shielded twisted-pair cables for Profibus (max length: 1,200 m at 9.6 kbps; 100 m at 12 Mbps).
-
Grounding: Ensure proper grounding to prevent EMI interference (refer to IEC 61000-6-2 for industrial environments).
-
Firmware Updates: Regularly update firmware via ABB’s Toolbox software to access new features and security patches.
-
Redundancy Setup: Enable dual power inputs for critical applications (connect to separate power sources for full redundancy).
