Application Areas

Power system

Generator excitation control: Stabilise generator output voltage and reactive power by real-time adjustment of excitation current.

High-voltage direct current transmission (HVDC): used for control and protection of converter stations, supporting rapid response to grid fluctuations.

Industrial Automation

Process control: Distributed control system for petrochemical, metallurgy and other industries to achieve accurate monitoring of production processes.

Motor drive: works with ABB frequency converters (e.g. ACS800 series) to realise efficient speed regulation and protection of motors.

Renewable Energy

Wind power: Integrated into the main control system of wind turbines to optimise wind energy capture and grid-connection control.

Photovoltaic inverters: support MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm to improve solar power generation efficiency.

Compatibility and alternative models

System compatibility

Seamlessly integrates with ABB's 800xA, Advant OCS and other control systems, supporting cross-platform data interaction.

Compatible with third-party devices such as Siemens S7 series PLC and HMI.

Alternative Models

DSPC172H: An upgraded model (part number 57310001-MP) with similar performance parameters to the DSPC 172, but supporting higher processing frequency and larger storage capacity.

DSPC 320: For high performance computing scenarios, equipped with a floating point unit to support more complex control algorithms.

Precautions

Mounting Requirements

Mount vertically on a standard DIN rail, leaving at least 50mm of space for heat dissipation.

Avoid direct proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic interference (e.g. frequency converters, welding machines).

Programming specifications

It is recommended to use ABB's Control Builder M for programming to ensure code compatibility and security.

Back up the programme and configuration files regularly to prevent data loss.
