ABB DSQC1003 Drive Module

ABB DSQC1003 is a multi-axis modular servo drive that is part of the ABB IRC5 industrial robot controller. A single module drives up to 6 servo motor axes (PMSM/BLDC) with individual current, velocity and position regulation.

Communication with the main controller through the ABB internal network (Optical Drive Link). Built-in SafeMove functions — STO (Safe Torque Off), SS1 (Safe Stop 1), SLS (Safely Limited Speed) certified to PL d / Cat 3.

Used in IRB 1200/1600/2600/4600/6700 and YuMi robots. 600 V DC supply from a rectifier bridge, power up to 75 kW. Standard in automotive plants (BMW, Volvo, VW) and electronics production lines.
