Overview

The ABB DSBC173A (Product ID: 3BSE005883R1) is a bus extender board for ABB’s S100 I/O architecture, primarily used in MasterPiece 200 control systems. Its main function is to extend the communication distance between I/O modules and the central controller, ensuring reliable data transfer across distributed automation setups.

Ideal for large-scale installations, the DSBC173A supports high-speed communication, preserves signal integrity over long distances, and is built with industrial-grade components for long-term durability in harsh environments.

For example, in a power plant control room, this module enables remote I/O cabinets to communicate seamlessly with the central MasterPiece controller.
