FAQ

Q1: What exactly does the DSQC 658 module do?

A1: It functions as an encoder interface card, processing signals from robot axes and transmitting feedback data to the robot controller for accurate positioning.

Q2: Is the DSQC 658 compatible with any ABB controller?

A2: No, it is specifically designed to operate with the ABB IRC5 controller series and may not be supported in legacy or newer controller platforms without proper interface adaptation.

Q3: How can I verify if the module is working correctly?

A3: You can perform diagnostics through the IRC5 FlexPendant or ABB RobotStudio software to view encoder readings and check signal integrity.

Q4: What types of encoders are supported?

A4: It supports both incremental and absolute encoders with standard industrial interface signals such as RS-422 or TTL.

Q5: Is field installation complex?

A5: No, it is designed for straightforward integration. Once physically mounted, most configuration is handled through ABB’s system software.

Q6: What is the average lifespan of the DSQC 658?

A6: When used in standard conditions, the module can reliably operate for 8–10 years without failure.

Q7: Can this module be repaired if damaged?

A7: In most cases, ABB recommends replacing the module rather than repairing, as internal diagnostics and calibration may be lost after disassembly.

Q8: Does it require firmware updates?

A8: No, it functions as a hardware interface and does not contain updateable firmware. System-level updates are handled via the IRC5 controller.

Q9: What certifications does it meet?

A9: The DSQC 658 complies with industrial EMC and safety standards used in robotic automation, including CE marking.

Q10: Can I use this module outside ABB robot systems?

A10: It is highly specialized for ABB systems. Use in third-party systems is not supported without detailed engineering modification.
