ABB 3HNE 00025 Rev 05 DSQC 350 Automation I Module

ABB DSQC 350A Gateway I/O Module, 3HNE00025-1, is a DeviceNet/Allen-Bradley remote I/O gateway that extends an IRC5 robot controller’s I/O by bridging ABB’s control system with a DeviceNet network, enabling bidirectional digital I/O communication between the robot and a master PLC or distributed automation system. This Automation I Module belongs to the DSQC 350 family and is documented as a DeviceNet remote I/O gateway, designed for deployment inside ABB control hardware or in compatible external I/O configurations depending on the system setup. In some installations, a separate 24 VDC power supply provided by the customer is used for the external I/O units connected to the gateway. The 3HNE00025-1 designation identifies this gateway variant, with historical references to related Interbus-S versions (e.g., 3HNE00025-1/13) appearing in older catalogs, illustrating the module’s role across multiple fieldbus ecosystems. Typical applications include integrating robot I/O with plant-wide DeviceNet networks to coordinate digital inputs and outputs between ABB robots and external controllers, delivering a compact, module-level interface that expands the IRC5’s external I/O reach without altering core robot software.
