ABB DCS 500 3BSE006567R1 SDCS-COM-5 TC Link Communication Board

Description

The SDCS-COM-5 (Product ID: 3BSE006567R1) is a dedicated TC Link communication board manufactured by ABB specifically for integration within DCS 500 converter modules. This module provides specialized hardware processing for three independent serial communication channels, allowing a reliable, high-speed interface link between converter setups, PCs, and distributed industrial control systems. The board links directly via the designated X11 system connector interface, utilizing an engineered arrangement of grey transmitter (TxD) and blue receiver (RxD) fiber-optic ports to establish clean electrical isolation across active processing channels.

Features

• Three distinct communication channels enabling concurrent data path transfers
• High-speed HDLC system interfacing peaking at a 1.5 Mbits/s rating on Channel 1
• Broadband DDCS processing capacity scaling up to 4 Mbits/s on Channel 3
• Color-coded optical ports separating transmission (grey) and reception (blue) loops
• Integrated 4-position onboard S1 coding jumper block to define multi-converter configurations

Applications

• ABB DCS 500 converter module link infrastructures
• High-speed industrial drive PC monitoring connections
• PROFIBUS, CS31, and MODBUS hardware adaptations

Installation Guidelines

• Disconnect all primary converter supplies and auxiliary power inputs before matching the board onto the system carrier.
• Ensure matching plug and socket colors are aligned during fiber-optic link up (always connect blue to blue and grey to grey).
• Verify that software loaded within the target DCS 500 converter module scales up to version S21.1xx maximum to ensure runtime protocol compatibility.
• Adjust the 4-position S1 inline slide switch block to match your specific converter line network destination layout (Positions 1 through 4 correlate to converter numbers 1 to 4 respectively, with position 1 serving as default).
• Check that both board mounting standoffs and the designated conductive support pad align firmly with the metallic chassis to guarantee electrical path continuity.
