ABB SDCS-PIN-4 Inverter Digital Signal Interface Board
The SDCS-PIN-4 is an original digital signal interface board developed exclusively by ABB for ABB ACS series industrial inverters (primarily ACS800, ACS600, and select ACS880 low-to-medium power models). As a dedicated signal transmission component, it serves as a critical link between the inverter and external digital control devices (e.g., PLCs, digital sensors, HMI panels), enabling accurate exchange of control commands (e.g., start/stop, direction selection) and real-time status feedback (e.g., inverter readiness, fault alerts). This board is essential for industrial automation scenarios requiring reliable digital signal interaction, such as material handling systems, small-scale pumps, and packaging machinery.

This board is essential for industrial automation scenarios requiring reliable digital signal interaction, such as material handling systems, small-scale pumps, and packaging machinery.
The SDCS-PIN-4 is a genuine ABB digital interface component engineered to optimize digital signal communication for ACS series inverters. It addresses the need for precise, noise-free transmission of discrete control signals, preventing signal loss or misinterpretation that could cause inverter operation errors. By standardizing digital signal interaction, it ensures seamless integration between the inverter and machine-level control systems.
Key Functions
Digital Signal Bidirectional Transmission: Supports 6x digital inputs and 4x digital outputs to handle core control workflows:
Digital Inputs: Accepts 24V DC discrete signals (e.g., start/stop commands, emergency stop triggers, mode selection) from external devices, with configurable debounce time (1ms-100ms) to filter electrical noise.
Digital Outputs: Sends status signals (e.g., inverter running, fault active, speed reached) to HMIs or PLCs, with a maximum switching current of 0.5A per channel to drive indicator lights or relay coils.
Signal Isolation Protection: Integrates opto-isolation (2kVrms isolation voltage) for all input/output channels, isolating the inverter’s internal circuitry from external electrical fluctuations. This design suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI) and prevents voltage spikes from damaging sensitive inverter components.
Fault Detection & Alert: Continuously monitors input/output signal integrity; if anomalies (e.g., open circuits, short circuits, overcurrent) are detected, it triggers a local fault signal and transmits error codes to the inverter’s main control unit. This enables quick identification of wiring issues or device malfunctions.
Simplified Configuration: Compatible with ABB’s DriveConfig software for easy parameter adjustment (e.g., defining input/output functions, setting signal delay times). No specialized programming is required—users can map signals to match specific application needs via a intuitive interface.
Low-Latency Response: Delivers signal transmission latency of <2ms, ensuring fast responsiveness to control commands (e.g., immediate inverter start/stop) and real-time status updates, critical for time-sensitive industrial processes.
