ABB DSMB 144 57360001-EL Memory Board

The ABB DSMB 144 57360001-EL is a memory board used in ABB AC 800M controllers and other automation systems. It is a key component to expand or enhance the memory capabilities of ABB control systems, providing critical storage for program data, system parameters and other necessary information.

It functions as a volatile or non-volatile memory module, storing critical data required for control system operation, including control programs, configuration data, and other important runtime information. It plays a key role in data storage, program execution, and system recovery during power outages or restarts.

The DSMB 144 includes both volatile and non-volatile types of memory. Volatile memory is used for real-time execution of control programs, while non-volatile memory stores backup data, configuration settings, and program data even when the system loses power.

Enhanced memory capacity is provided to the controller, allowing for storage and management of larger, more complex programs and data sets. The DSMB 144 connects directly to the AC 800M controller or other compatible ABB automation system via a dedicated memory slot. It integrates seamlessly into the overall system using standard communication protocols and interfaces, ensuring compatibility with control and I/O modules.

The non-volatile portion of the memory ensures that in the event of a power outage, the system retains important configuration data, parameters, and the program itself, ensuring that the controller can resume normal operation without losing critical information.

Frequently asked questions about the product are as follows:

-How much memory does the DSMB 144 provide?

The DSMB 144 provides a significant increase in memory capacity for ABB's AC 800M controllers. The exact storage capacity can vary, so it is best to check the specifications for your specific system configuration. Typically, it provides a few megabytes or a few gigabytes of storage.

-Can the DSMB 144 be used in non-ABB systems?

The DSMB 144 is designed for ABB AC 800M controllers and other compatible ABB automation systems. It is not directly compatible with non-ABB systems.

-Can the DSMB 144 be used for data logging?

The DSMB 144 can be used for data logging, particularly in systems that require large amounts of real-time data storage. Non-volatile memory ensures that logged data is retained even during power outages.
