ABB DSMD110 Master Floppy Drive  

The ABB DSMD110 is an industrial-grade master floppy drive engineered for reliable data storage, backup, and transfer of configuration files, PLC programs, and firmware in legacy ABB automation systems—specifically optimized for applications requiring compatibility with older ABB controllers (e.g., early AC500 series, S400 PLCs) that rely on floppy disk media for data management. It functions as a "legacy data interface," enabling technicians to back up critical system programs, update firmware, and transfer process parameters between ABB controllers and external devices (e.g., laptops) in industrial environments. Designed to withstand harsh factory conditions and maintain compatibility with decades-old automation systems, it balances durability, backward compatibility, and ease of use for maintaining legacy industrial infrastructure. Below is its detailed specification:

1. Key Parameters

  • Product Model: DSMD110
  • Product Series: ABB DSM Series Industrial Floppy Drives (Legacy Automation Data Management)
  • Core Function: Reads/writes 3.5-inch floppy disks for ABB legacy controllers; stores PLC programs, configuration files, and firmware; enables data transfer between controllers and external devices; supports ABB-specific file formats; provides industrial-grade reliability for legacy system maintenance
  • Storage & Compatibility Specifications:
    Parameter Details Performance Metrics
    Floppy Disk Support - Media Type: 3.5-inch double-sided, high-density (DS/HD) floppy disks
    - Storage Capacity: 1.44MB per disk
    - Data Transfer Rate: 125 kbps (max)
    - Error Correction: Built-in CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) for data integrity
    - Supported File Formats: ABB .plc (PLC programs), .cfg (system configurations), .hex (firmware), .dat (process logs)
    1.44MB capacity covers most legacy ABB controller program sizes (e.g., 500KB~1MB for AC500 early models); CRC error correction reduces data corruption risks in industrial environments
    System Compatibility - Supported ABB Controllers: AC500-CPU210/220 (early versions), S400 PLC series, ABB MasterPiece 200/300 DCS (legacy modules)
    - Host Interface: 1× DB9 serial port (RS-232, 9600~115200 bps)
    - PC Compatibility: Windows XP/7 (via ABB Legacy Data Manager software)
    - Driver Support: ABB-provided serial drivers (for Windows compatibility)
    Seamless integration with critical legacy ABB systems—eliminates the need for costly controller upgrades to maintain data management capabilities
  • Mechanical & Environmental Specifications:
    Parameter Details Performance Metrics
    Mechanical Design - Dimensions: 140mm (W) × 80mm (H) × 150mm (D)
    - Mounting Type: 35mm DIN rail (EN 50022) or panel mount (via adapter bracket)
    - Housing Material: Flame-retardant thermoplastic (UL 94 V0) with metal reinforcement
    - Weight: Approximately 350g
    - Media Insertion: Front-loading, with dust-resistant door (prevents debris entry)
    Compact DIN rail design fits in legacy control cabinets; metal reinforcement enhances durability against accidental impacts (common in factory maintenance)
    Environmental Ratings - Operating Temperature Range: -10℃~+60℃ (-14℉~140℉)
    - Storage Temperature Range: -20℃~+70℃ (-4℉~158℉)
    - Humidity Tolerance: 5%~95% RH (non-condensing, 40℃)
    - Vibration Resistance: 10~500Hz, 0.8g acceleration (IEC 60068-2-6)
    - Shock Resistance: 20g (11ms half-sine, IEC 60068-2-27)
    - EMC Compliance: EN 61000-6-2 (immunity: Level 2); EN 61000-6-3 (emission: Class B)
    Industrial-grade environmental tolerance ensures reliable operation in unconditioned factory floors; dust-resistant door prevents floppy disk contamination (a leading cause of read/write errors)
  • Electrical & Compliance Specifications:
    Parameter Details Performance Metrics
    Electrical Ratings - Power Supply: 24V DC ±10% (18V~28V DC)
    - Power Consumption: 3W (active), 1W (standby)
    - Isolation: 250V AC (serial port to power input, 1 minute)
    - Protection: Reverse polarity (power input), overcurrent (500mA fuse)
    Low power consumption minimizes load on control cabinet power supplies; reverse polarity protection prevents damage from incorrect wiring (common during maintenance)
    Compliance Standards: CE, UL 60950-1 (information technology equipment), IEC 61131-2 (industrial control), RoHS, ISO 9001    

2. Core Features

  • Legacy System Compatibility: Tailored for ABB’s early AC500, S400, and MasterPiece DCS systems—fills a critical gap in maintaining legacy automation infrastructure, where replacing controllers would incur high costs (e.g., $10k~$50k per line upgrade).
  • Industrial-Grade Durability: Flame-retardant thermoplastic housing with metal reinforcement and dust-resistant door—withstands factory wear (e.g., vibration from nearby motors, accidental bumps during maintenance) and prevents floppy disk contamination (a major cause of data loss in consumer floppy drives).
  • Data Integrity Assurance: Built-in CRC error correction and 1.44MB DS/HD disk support—ensures reliable read/write operations for critical files (e.g., PLC programs, firmware); reduces data corruption risks common in consumer-grade drives used in industrial settings.
  • Flexible Installation: DIN rail or panel-mount options—adapts to legacy control cabinet layouts (e.g., older ABB S400 cabinets with limited space); tool-less DIN rail mounting simplifies retrofitting without modifying existing cabinet structures.
  • Seamless ABB Software Integration: Works with ABB Legacy Data Manager software (for Windows XP/7)—enables technicians to transfer files between floppy disks and PCs, then upload to controllers; supports ABB-specific file formats to avoid compatibility issues with third-party tools.
  • Low Power & Safe Operation: 24V DC industrial power input with reverse polarity and overcurrent protection—aligns with standard control cabinet power supplies; eliminates fire risks from overheating (common in unregulated consumer drives).

3. Application Fields

  • Legacy PLC Maintenance: Early ABB Controller Program Management:
    • AC500-CPU210/220 Maintenance: Backs up and restores PLC programs for early AC500 models (still used in food processing, textile mills)—avoids program loss if the controller’s internal memory fails; enables technicians to transfer updated parameters (e.g., production line speeds) via floppy disk.
    • S400 PLC System Support: Transfers firmware and configuration files for ABB S400 PLCs (common in older automotive component factories)—critical for maintaining production continuity, as S400 controllers are no longer manufactured and rely on floppy drives for updates.
  • Legacy DCS Data Management: MasterPiece 200/300 Systems:
    • MasterPiece 300 DCS Backup: Stores process parameters and control logic for ABB MasterPiece 300 DCS (used in water treatment plants, chemical refineries)—ensures compliance with regulatory record-keeping requirements (e.g., EPA water quality logs) by preserving historical data on floppy disks.
    • DCS Firmware Updates: Uploads legacy firmware to MasterPiece 200 DCS modules—enables plants to maintain compatibility with existing sensors/actuators, avoiding the cost of replacing entire DCS systems.
  • Factory Floor Legacy Equipment Support:
    • Mechanical Manufacturing Lines: Manages program backups for ABB-powered CNC lathes (early models) in machine shops—floppy disks store custom machining programs (e.g., for automotive parts) that cannot be transferred via modern USB/network interfaces.
    • Food Processing Plants: Transfers recipe parameters (e.g., baking temperatures, mixing speeds) to ABB S400-controlled packaging machines—legacy machines lack modern connectivity, so floppy drives remain the only way to update or back up recipes.
  • Industrial Retrofit & Compliance:
    • Factory Compliance Audits: Retrieves historical process logs from legacy ABB controllers (stored on floppy disks) for regulatory audits (e.g., FDA food safety, OSHA machine safety)—ensures plants meet compliance requirements without upgrading controllers.
    • Legacy System Migration Preparation: Backs up all controller programs and configurations to floppy disks before migrating to new ABB systems (e.g., AC500-eCo)—preserves critical data to replicate processes on new hardware, reducing migration downtime.
