DSCS131: Product OverviewThe DSCS131 is a servo control board designed for ABB’s S4C+ robot controller system. This critical component functions as the interface between the robot’s main computer system and the servo drives that power the robot’s individual axes. Installed in the main computer rack, the board receives motion commands from the axis computer and translates them into precise control signals for the drive modules. It also processes feedback from resolvers or encoders on each robot axis to maintain closed-loop position control.The board manages the real-time servo control algorithms that ensure accurate positioning and smooth motion trajectories. It handles critical functions such as position loop closure, velocity control, and torque limitation for each controlled axis. The DSCS131 works in conjunction with other system components to provide the coordinated multi-axis movement required for complex robotic applications, ensuring all axes move in synchronization to achieve the programmed path accuracy.
