Overview

The ABB DSRF180 is a chassis-mounted fiber optic communication module designed for ABB AC 800M control systems. It provides high-speed, noise-resistant data exchange over multimode fiber using the AF100 protocol, making it ideal for redundant controller synchronization and remote I/O expansion.

The DSRF180 serves a dual function:

1. Synchronizes logic and I/O images between primary and backup PM86x controllers for bumpless switchover.

2. Acts as a fiber master station, connecting up to 8 remote S800 I/O stations.

Equipped with ST-type fiber connectors, a transmission speed of 1.544 Mbps, and a maximum range of 2 km, it is suitable for large-scale industrial environments, including high-EMI and hazardous zones.

For instance, in a water treatment facility, the DSRF180 ensures seamless communication between distributed control cabinets and central processors over long distances.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Redundant Controller Synchronization: Ensures bumpless switchover between primary and backup AC 800M CPUs.
