Description
1. Product Title
ABB DSDP160 – 800xA / MasterPiece Control System Drive Bus Interface Module
2. Product Overview
The DSDP160 is a high-speed communication interface module used within the ABB Advant OCS and MasterPiece 200/1 control systems. Its primary function is to act as a bridge between the central controller and industrial drives (such as the ACS series) via a dedicated DriveBus.
In complex automation environments, the DSDP160 solves the critical problem of high-speed synchronization between control logic and motor movement. By providing a high-integrity fiber optic link, it ensures that torque, speed, and position commands are transmitted with minimal jitter, while simultaneously collecting diagnostic data from the drives. This module is essential for applications requiring precise motor control and real-time coordination of multiple drive units.

4. Key Features & Benefits
- Fiber Optic Isolation: The use of fiber optics for the DriveBus prevents electrical noise from the high-power motor drives from interfering with the sensitive control electronics.
- Real-Time Performance: Engineered for deterministic communication, the DSDP160 allows the controller to update drive parameters in millisecond cycles.
- Comprehensive Diagnostics: The module facilitates the read-back of drive status, current, and fault codes, allowing for predictive maintenance and rapid troubleshooting from the HMI.
- Multidrop Capability: A single DSDP160 can manage a “string” of drives, reducing the amount of hardware needed in the central control rack.
5. Application Scenarios
- Metals and Mining: Used in rolling mills where multiple motors must be perfectly synchronized to maintain tension and thickness of the metal sheet.
- Paper Machines: Controlling the complex sectional drives of a paper machine where precise speed ratios between different sections are vital to prevent the paper web from breaking.
- Material Handling: Managing large-scale conveyor systems and cranes that require smooth acceleration and deceleration curves under varying loads.
6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: What is the main difference between the DSDP140 and the DSDP160?
- A: The DSDP160 is typically the higher-performance version designed for newer DriveBus protocols and offers better integration with the Advant Controller 450.
- Q: Are there any specific fiber optic cables required?
- A: Yes, ABB specifies plastic optical fiber (POF) or HCS (Hard Clad Silica) cables depending on the distance between the controller and the drive.
- Q: Can the DSDP160 be replaced while the system is under power?
- A: It is generally recommended to power down the subrack or the specific bus branch before replacement to avoid communication errors or hardware damage, unless the specific backplane supports hot-swapping.
