Description
ABB DSDP160 (57160001‑KG) High‑Frequency Pulse / Encoder Input Unit for Advant OCS / MasterPiece DCS System
Product Details
The DSDP160, part number 57160001‑KG, is an EOL‑discontinued Eurocard‑format pulse‑encoder input module for legacy ABB Advant OCS and MasterPiece DCS platforms, upgraded variant of DSDP150. It supports incremental encoder A/B/Z‑phase signals and general pulse‑generator inputs, maximum input frequency up to 1 MHz, much higher than DSDP150’s 10 kHz limit. It provides 12 VDC field sensor power supply, executes high‑speed pulse counting, frequency calculation, speed‑and‑position measurement. Communicates with main CPU (DSPC172) via Advant backplane bus. Built‑in opto‑isolation protects internal circuits from field‑side noise. Hot‑swap‑capable for online replacement without stopping DCS control logic. Front‑panel LED indicators display channel status and fault alarms. Widely used as spare‑part and retrofit component for power, pulp‑paper and metallurgy DCS cabinets requiring high‑speed pulse signal acquisition.
