I. Basic Information

Model: DSDP160Material Code: 57160001-KGBrand: ABBApplicable System: ABB Advant OCS / Advant Master Industrial Control System, compatible with 800xA integrated automation platform. It is a rack-mounted I/O expansion card installed in standard control racks, specially designed for high-frequency signal acquisition from encoders and pulse sensors to realize precise measurement of position, speed and flow process parameters.

Product Type: Rack-mounted isolated high-speed pulse counter board, integrating multi-channel opto-isolated pulse input channels, hardware high-speed counting processor, backplane bus communication and real-time fault diagnosis circuits. It supports incremental encoder, single/dual-phase pulse signal acquisition, serving as a dedicated data acquisition module for motion control, flow measurement and displacement positioning scenarios.

Product Positioning

DSDP160 57160001-KG is a dedicated high-speed pulse acquisition unit for ABB classic Advant series control systems. It directly connects field devices such as rotary encoders, flow meters and speed sensors, converts high-frequency pulse signals into digital engineering values via hardware high-speed counting, and uploads data to the main controller for closed-loop calculation of speed, stroke, flow and positioning. All input channels adopt optoelectrical isolation design to effectively eliminate field ground loop interference, electrostatic surge and inverter harmonic disturbance. It is widely used for auxiliary equipment speed monitoring and valve precise positioning in power plants, as well as material metering and servo position control in metallurgical and chemical production lines. Multiple counting modes can be flexibly configured via software; independent hardware counting does not occupy main controller CPU resources, ensuring no pulse loss and stable measurement accuracy under high-frequency signal conditions. It is widely applied in technical renovation and spare part replacement projects of legacy automation systems in thermal power, metallurgy, oil & gas and paper industries.

Hardware Architecture

IV. Working Principle

After 24VDC rack power is supplied, the module completes power-on self-test covering backplane bus, 8 input channels, counting chip and power circuit. If self-test passes, the RUN indicator lights on and waits for configuration parameters from the main controller.The upper controller downloads channel mode, frequency multiplication and threshold parameters via the backplane bus. The onboard hardware counting chip cyclically collects pulse signals: single-phase pulses are accumulated directly, while quadrature encoder signals adopt phase discrimination for forward/reverse counting with hardware glitch filtering to prevent miscounting.Real-time count values, channel status and fault information are cyclically uploaded to the main controller via parallel backplane bus, which converts pulse totals into process variables for PID regulation, interlock protection and data archiving.When short-circuit, wire break or overvoltage occurs on any channel, the corresponding fault indicator activates and the alarm status is uploaded remotely, while other isolated channels operate continuously. Remote instructions can trigger full or single-channel count reset and peak latch operations.

V. Application Scenarios

Metallurgical hot rolling and continuous rolling production lines: Servo motor encoder position and speed signal acquisition for roll line closed-loop speed regulation and precise material length measurement.
Oil & gas and chemical long-distance pipeline control systems: Pulse signal collection from turbine and vortex flow meters for instantaneous and cumulative flow metering and pipe network dispatching.
Paper, packaging and building material production lines: Conveyor belt speed monitoring, automatic finished product counting and roller press closed-loop speed control for automated batch production management.
Technical renovation and spare part replacement projects for legacy Advant control systems: In-situ replacement of aging pulse acquisition boards and capacity expansion of new measuring points in thermal, chemical and paper industries.
