ABB DSMB178 I/O Module  

The ABB DSMB178 is a high-reliability industrial I/O module engineered for distributed signal acquisition, real-time control, and seamless integration with ABB automation systems—specifically optimized for applications requiring flexible digital I/O expansion in manufacturing, process control, and infrastructure monitoring (e.g., assembly lines, chemical reactors, and smart grid auxiliary systems). It functions as a "distributed signal interface," connecting field devices (sensors, actuators) to central controllers (e.g., ABB AC500 PLCs) via industrial communication protocols, enabling modular scaling of I/O capacity without rewiring entire systems. Designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions and comply with global automation standards, it balances flexibility, durability, and ease of integration for mission-critical distributed control systems (DCS). Below is its detailed specification:
