Description

3HAC043053-001: Product Overview
This component is a digital input/output module designed for integration with ABB’s IRC5 series industrial robot controllers. In an automation system, it functions as a field-to-controller interface, positioned within the robot control cabinet to bridge discrete signals from industrial devices (e.g., proximity sensors, limit switches, solenoid valves) and the controller’s logic processor. Its role is to convert physical switch states (on/off) into digital data for robot program execution and to transmit controller commands to actuators for real-time adjustments.
The core functionality involves processing 24VDC digital signals: 8 input channels accept dry-contact or transistor signals (sinking/sourcing compatible) from sensors, while 8 output channels drive relays, contactors, or small actuators. It includes signal conditioning (debouncing, noise filtering) and channel-to-channel electrical isolation (1500Vrms) to prevent ground loops and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The module also provides basic diagnostics, such as open-circuit detection for inputs and overload indication for outputs.
It belongs to the IRC5 Controller Accessories family, a product line optimized for modularity, compatibility, and ease of maintenance in robotic automation. The platform’s benefits include standardized mounting to IRC5 control cabinets, seamless integration with ABB’s RobotStudio engineering software for configuration, and a global support network for spare parts—critical for minimizing downtime in production-critical environments.

Core Features & Customer Value​
The module’s design prioritizes signal integrity, scalability, and operational efficiency. The 16-channel density (8I/8O) reduces the number of I/O modules required per robot cell, saving cabinet space and wiring complexity—valuable for facilities with multiple robots (e.g., automotive assembly lines). For engineers, this consolidation simplifies commissioning and inventory management, as fewer modules need tracking.
Channel-to-channel isolation (1500Vrms) is critical for industrial environments. It prevents electrical noise from adjacent channels (e.g., from a nearby motor drive) from corrupting signals, ensuring accurate data transmission. In a welding application, for example, this isolation ensures that a faulty proximity sensor on one channel does not affect the operation of a limit switch on another, maintaining robot path accuracy.
Hot-swap support allows technicians to replace the module without shutting down the robot system, minimizing production disruption. This is particularly beneficial for continuous processes (e.g., 24/7 packaging lines), where even brief downtime incurs significant costs. The module’s compatibility with ABB’s RobotStudio software enables remote configuration of I/O addresses and diagnostic monitoring, streamlining maintenance workflows.
Sinking/sourcing input compatibility eliminates the need for adapter modules when integrating existing sensors (e.g., NPN photoelectric sensors or PNP limit switches). This flexibility reduces retrofit costs and accelerates system upgrades. The 0.5A output current per channel supports small actuators like indicator lights or low-power relays, covering most discrete control needs in robotic cells.

Typical Applications​
In an automotive body-in-white welding line, the module connects 8 proximity sensors (inputs) to detect part presence on fixtures and 8 solenoid valves (outputs) to control clamps. The isolation ensures signals remain stable despite electromagnetic noise from welding guns, while hot-swap capability allows quick replacement during line changeovers.
At a pharmaceutical blister-packaging machine, the module acquires 8 digital inputs from blister-count sensors and 8 outputs to trigger rejection cylinders for defective packs. The 24VDC sourcing outputs directly drive the cylinders, and the module’s diagnostics alert operators to sensor misalignments.
In a logistics sortation system, the module interfaces with 8 photoelectric sensors (inputs) to read barcode scanner status and 8 motor starter contactors (outputs) to divert packages. The compact size fits in the sortation unit’s control cabinet, and the wide temperature range (-25°C to +55°C) suits warehouse environments.
