ABB DSQC 236T YB560103-CE Servo Drive Axis Control Board

Product Overview

The ABB DSQC 236T is a Servo Drive Axis Control Board (Part No. YB560103-CE) designed for ABB S3 robot controllers. It controls a single axis of an ABB servo motor (orange series) with 380-480V AC input and output current up to 20A. Featuring closed-loop control with feedback mechanisms, it delivers precise motion control for ABB industrial robots including IRB 640, 840, 1400, 4400, and 6400 series.

FAQ

• Q: How many axes does one DSQC 236T control? A: Each DSQC 236T controls one servo motor axis. A 6-axis robot requires six DSQC 236T boards (or equivalent drive units).
• Q: What is the difference between DSQC 236T and DSQC 236G? A: DSQC 236T (YB560103-CE) is for S3 controllers with 380-480V AC input. DSQC 236G (YB560103-CD) is typically for S4 controllers. Verify your controller generation before selecting.
• Q: Can DSQC 236T be used with IRC5 systems? A: No, DSQC 236T is designed for S3 controllers only. IRC5 systems use DSQC 651, 652, or 663 drive modules.
• Q: What safety precautions are required during installation? A: Ensure the DC bus capacitors are fully discharged (wait minimum 10 minutes after power-off) before handling the board. High voltage (380-480V AC) is present during operation.

Installation Guide

1. Power off the robot controller and disconnect the main 3-phase supply. Lock out/tag out.
2. Wait minimum 10 minutes for DC bus capacitors to discharge.
3. Remove the existing DSQC 236T board from the drive rack.
4. Install the new board in the same slot position, ensuring proper backplane connection.
5. Connect 3-phase 380-480V AC power to the input terminals.
6. Connect servo motor power cables to the output terminals.
7. Connect resolver/encoder feedback cables to the feedback connector.
8. Restore power and perform axis calibration via the teach pendant.

Selection Tips

• Use DSQC 236T for S3 controller-based ABB robots with orange-series servo motors.
• Verify your robot model (IRB 640/840/1400/4400/6400) requires YB560103-CE specifically.
• For S4 controllers, use DSQC 236G (YB560103-CD) or DSQC 236C (YB560103-CC) instead.
• Always replace drive boards in matched sets to ensure consistent axis performance.
