ABB SDCS-CON-2-COAAT Control Board – Core Controller for ABB DCS500/DCS600 DC Drive Systems

• Warranty: 365 days

• Delivery: 1 week for in-stock items; no more than one month at the latest

• Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery

• Express delivery: FedEx, UPS, DHL

• Main control logic for DCS DC drives – Executes speed/torque control loops and converter sequencing for stable, repeatable performance.

• Fiber‑optic converter link – Typically uses ABB’s optical links for reliable, noise‑immune communication with the power unit and gate drivers.

• Backplane connectivity – Interfaces with SDCS expansion boards (I/O and feedback modules) through the drive’s internal bus; simplifies wiring and service.

• Conformal-coated variant – The COAAT version appears to be coated for enhanced resistance to humidity, dust, and corrosive atmospheres, which in many cases extends service life.

• Parameter retention – Works with the drive’s existing parameter set; typical swaps do not require cabinet rewiring, only configuration checks.

• Legacy system longevity – Keeps installed ABB DC drives operational with OEM-grade parts, avoiding premature upgrade costs.

Notes: Specs above reflect typical use in ABB DCS500/DCS600 systems. Exact interface set and firmware may vary by drive rating and option set.

• ABB SDCS-PIN series I/O boards – Expand analog/digital I/O and bring in tachometer or encoder feedback where required.

• ABB SDCS-IO modules – Application-specific interfaces for process signals and field connections.

• Operator panels / HMI – For parameterization, service access, and local diagnostics on the DCS drive.

Because it’s the core controller of ABB DCS DC drives, this board is widely used in:

• Metals – rolling mills, coilers, levellers where stable torque control is critical

• Pulp & Paper – line drives, winders, calenders with precise speed matching

• Mining & Cement – conveyors, crushers and process lines with rugged duty cycles

• Cranes & Hoists – smooth low‑speed control and regenerative braking behavior

• Test stands & Extruders – applications needing fine speed regulation and repeatability

A maintenance lead at a steel service center told us the SDCS-CON-2 swap took under 30 minutes including parameter verification, which matches what we typically see in the field.

• Reliability – OEM-grade board with proven stability in electrically noisy environments; the coated variant adds extra environmental resilience.

• Compatibility – Designed for ABB DCS500/DCS600 systems; typically accepts existing parameter sets and works with installed SDCS options.

• Cost savings – A direct replacement that extends the life of the drive line; avoids immediate retrofit or full drive upgrade.

• Technical support – We can assist with pre‑shipment firmware matching and basic start‑up guidance to reduce commissioning time.

• Cabinet environment – Install in a clean, ventilated drive cabinet. Keep ambient within 0…55 °C and avoid condensation.

• Handling & ESD – Use ESD wrist straps and antistatic packaging. Isolate drive power and discharge DC bus before work.

• Wiring – Reseat fiber‑optic links and backplane connectors carefully. Inspect for bent pins and ensure latches are secure.

• Firmware & parameters – Match firmware to the drive revision where possible. Back up parameters prior to swap; restore and verify setpoints after power-up.

• Routine care – Check cabinet filters and fans, remove dust build‑up, and visually inspect connectors during planned shutdowns.

• CE conformity when installed as part of the certified ABB DCS drive system

• UL/cUL in most DCS drive assemblies

• RoHS compliance on coated revisions is common, though exact status depends on production lot

• Manufacturer quality systems typically ISO 9001

• Warranty: 365 days

If you can share the exact drive type code and current firmware, we can pre-check compatibility and prepare the board to reduce on-site adjustments. You might notice that this small step often saves an extra restart.
