The SDCS‑IOE‑2 functions as a dedicated I/O expansion board within the ABB DCS modular platform. It allows existing controllers to increase their I/O count by connecting analog sensors, field devices, and actuator interfaces. By using this expansion module, system integrators can avoid replacing the entire control module and instead add capacity in a modular, cost‑effective manner.
The board supports both analog and digital signals, enabling mixed signal processing as required in industrial drives, conveyor systems or automated manufacturing. Its modular architecture and standardized mounting permit quick installation, replacement and system upgrades. The SDCS‑IOE‑2 supports the same mechanical footprint and electrical interface as the DCS modular family, ensuring seamless mechanical and electrical integration.
In operation, the board delivers high signal integrity, accurate measurement and stable control through its isolated channels and configurable input/output ranges. It is engineered for industrial reliability, operating under wide temperature conditions, and suitable for 24/7 operation in drive, manufacturing and process automation environments.
