3HAC025779-001 | ABB DSQC 658 DeviceNet M/S Single

Product Overview

The ABB DSQC 658 (Part No. 3HAC025779-001) is a DeviceNet Master/Slave Single Channel PCI communication board for ABB IRC5 robot controllers. Mounted in the computer unit PCI slot, it enables the robot controller to operate as both a DeviceNet master and slave simultaneously, facilitating seamless integration with DeviceNet fieldbus networks. It connects industrial I/O modules, sensors, actuators, and third-party devices directly to the IRC5 control system via the robust DeviceNet protocol.

Compatibility & Applications

Compatible with ABB IRC5 Single, Dual, and Compact controller cabinets (M2004 generation). The DSQC 658 installs in the computer unit PCI slot alongside other communication boards. It is essential for DeviceNet I/O module integration (DSQC 651/652/653), fieldbus communication with PLCs, sensor network connectivity, and distributed I/O architectures in automotive, packaging, and material handling automation.

FAQ

• Q: Is DSQC 658 a safety board or a communication board? A: DSQC 658 is a DeviceNet Master/Slave communication PCI board, not a safety board. Previous descriptions incorrectly labeled it as a safety module. It handles fieldbus communication between the IRC5 controller and DeviceNet devices.
• Q: Can it operate as both master and slave at the same time? A: Yes, the DSQC 658 Master/Slave board can operate simultaneously as a DeviceNet master (controlling I/O modules) and slave (communicating with a higher-level controller).
• Q: What is the replacement part number? A: The newer replacement is 3HAC037084-001 (DSQC 697), which provides the same DeviceNet Master/Slave Single functionality with updated hardware.
• Q: What software version is required? A: RobotWare 5.07 or later, plus the DeviceNet hardware option must be licensed and installed in the controller.
• Q: Where is the board installed? A: The DSQC 658 mounts in a PCI expansion slot inside the IRC5 computer unit (DSQC 639/652 main computer cage).
• Q: What devices can connect to the DeviceNet bus? A: ABB DeviceNet I/O units (DSQC 651, 652, 653), third-party DeviceNet I/O modules, variable frequency drives, sensors, and any ODVA-conformance-tested DeviceNet device.

Installation Guide

1. Power off the IRC5 controller and disconnect all power sources. Lock out/tag out.
2. Open the computer unit cage and locate an available PCI expansion slot.
3. Remove the existing DSQC 658 from the PCI slot (if replacing).
4. Insert the new DSQC 658 board firmly into the PCI slot until fully seated.
5. Connect the DeviceNet cable to the 5-pole open connector on the board mounting bracket.
6. Verify proper cable shield grounding and termination resistor placement at the network ends.
7. Close the computer unit and restore power.
8. Configure DeviceNet I/O units and network parameters in RobotStudio or FlexPendant.

Selection Tips

• Select DSQC 658 (3HAC025779-001) for legacy DeviceNet Master/Slave communication in IRC5 controllers.
• For new installations or replacements, consider the updated DSQC 697 (3HAC037084-001) with identical functionality.
• Verify RobotWare version is 5.07 or higher and the DeviceNet option is licensed before installation.
• Ensure DeviceNet cable length, baud rate, and termination comply with ODVA specifications for reliable network operation.
• Do not confuse DSQC 658 with safety boards (DSQC 643/643A/643B series); they serve entirely different functions.
