10 Human-Style FAQs
Q1: What is the main function of the ABB DSQC 663 board?
A1: It serves as the axis control board in ABB’s IRC5 system, managing motion control across robotic joints.
Q2: Can I use this board in the older S4C+ controllers?
A2: No, the DSQC 663 is specifically designed for the IRC5 system and is not backward compatible with S4C+.
Q3: How do I know if my DSQC 663 board is faulty?
A3: Common indicators include axis motion errors, blinking status LEDs, or failure of robot axes to initialize.
Q4: Is it possible to replace the DSQC 663 by myself?
A4: Yes, it is a modular board. However, ABB recommends certified personnel due to safety and calibration procedures.
Q5: Does this board control all axes simultaneously?
A5: It handles multiple axes based on robot configuration, typically up to 6, depending on the system setup.
Q6: What is the difference between DSQC 663 and DSQC 679?
A6: Both are axis control boards, but DSQC 679 includes additional diagnostic functions and is used in extended applications.
Q7: Is this board refurbished or new when purchased from third-party suppliers?
A7: It depends on the vendor. Always request condition reports; some units are reconditioned, others are new old stock.
Q8: Can I use it with IRB 120 robots?
A8: No, the IRB 120 typically uses different compact control systems; DSQC 663 is more suited for mid to large robots.
Q9: What if the firmware version doesn’t match the controller?
A9: Firmware mismatch may result in boot errors. ABB service tools or updates may be needed to align versions.
Q10: Is DSQC 663 still in production?
A10: It is being phased out in newer systems but remains widely available through ABB channels and aftermarket suppliers.
