DSDP170: Product OverviewThe DSDP170 is a 16-channel digital output module designed for ABB’s S4C+ robot controller system. This module serves as the interface between the robot controller and external actuators in an automated work cell. Installed in the robot controller’s main computer rack, its primary function is to convert control signals from the robot’s application program into switched 24V DC outputs that operate devices such as solenoid valves, relays, indicators, and other peripheral equipment. The module enables the robot to control tooling, grippers, and other automation components synchronized with the robot’s motion.The module operates under the control of the main robot computer, executing output commands based on the robot program logic. It provides electrical isolation between the robot controller’s internal electronics and the external field devices, protecting the sensitive control system from electrical noise and voltage spikes that can occur in industrial environments. The design focuses on reliability and durability for continuous operation in manufacturing applications.

Core Features & Customer ValueThe module’s 16 output channels provide significant flexibility for work cell design, allowing control of multiple peripheral devices from a single module. Each channel is individually short-circuit protected, preventing a fault on one output from affecting the others. This design ensures that a failure in one part of the system doesn’t disable the entire work cell, maintaining production availability.The sourcing (PNP) output configuration is compatible with most industrial sensors and actuators, simplifying integration with existing equipment. The status LEDs for each channel provide immediate visual feedback of output states, which is invaluable for troubleshooting and maintenance. Technicians can quickly identify which outputs are active without requiring additional test equipment.The module’s robust design ensures reliable operation in industrial environments with electrical noise and vibration. The removable terminal block facilitates easy wiring and module replacement, reducing maintenance downtime. The module is hot-swappable in systems designed for this feature, allowing for replacement without stopping production.Typical ApplicationsIn material handling applications, the DSDP170 controls gripper solenoids, conveyor start/stop signals, and part presence indicators. The robot program coordinates the output signals with motion commands to ensure precise timing for pick-and-place operations.In welding applications, the module controls weld gun open/close signals, weld timer triggers, and smoke extraction systems. The outputs are synchronized with the robot’s path to ensure proper sequencing of the welding process.
