ABB DSMD113 Floppy Disk Module  

The ABB DSMD113 is an industrial-grade floppy disk module 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 backward compatibility with older ABB controllers (e.g., early AC500 series, S400 PLCs, and legacy DCS modules) that depend on floppy disk media for data management. It functions as a "legacy data bridge," enabling technicians to maintain critical operations by backing up system programs, updating firmware, and sharing process parameters between controllers and external devices (e.g., laptops) in harsh industrial environments. Designed to withstand factory wear and preserve compatibility with decades-old infrastructure, it balances durability, functional simplicity, and legacy support for mission-critical maintenance of aging automation systems. Below is its detailed specification:

1. Key Parameters

  • Product Model: DSMD113
  • Product Series: ABB DSM Series Industrial Floppy Disk Modules (Legacy Automation Data Management)
  • Core Function: Reads/writes 3.5-inch floppy disks for ABB legacy controllers; stores PLC programs, system configurations, and firmware files; enables bidirectional data transfer between controllers and external devices; supports ABB-specific file formats; ensures data integrity in industrial environments
  • 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: Up to 125 kbps
    - Error Correction: Built-in CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) + parity checking
    - Supported File Formats: ABB .plc (PLC programs), .cfg (configurations), .hex (firmware), .log (process logs)
    1.44MB capacity covers most legacy ABB controller program sizes (e.g., 300KB~1.2MB for S400 PLCs); dual error correction (CRC + parity) reduces data corruption by 80% vs. consumer floppy drives
    System Compatibility - Supported ABB Controllers: AC500-CPU210/220 (v1.x), S400 PLC series, MasterPiece 200 DCS modules
    - Host Interface: 1× DB9 RS-232 serial port (9600~115200 bps, configurable)
    - PC Compatibility: Windows XP/7 (via ABB Legacy Data Tool software); Windows 10/11 (via virtual machines)
    - Driver Requirement: ABB-provided serial drivers (for legacy OS compatibility)
    Seamless integration with end-of-life ABB systems—eliminates the need for costly controller replacements, extending the lifespan of legacy infrastructure by 5~10 years
  • Mechanical & Environmental Specifications:
    Parameter Details Performance Metrics
    Mechanical Design - Dimensions: 120mm (W) × 80mm (H) × 140mm (D)
    - Mounting Type: 35mm DIN rail (EN 50022, tool-less snap-on)
    - Housing Material: Flame-retardant thermoplastic (UL 94 V0) with steel reinforcement bracket
    - Weight: Approximately 320g
    - Media Protection: Front-loading slot with dust cover (spring-loaded, auto-closes after disk removal)
    Compact 120mm width fits in space-constrained legacy control cabinets; steel reinforcement resists mechanical impact (e.g., accidental tool bumps during 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 cover prevents disk contamination (a leading cause of read/write failures in consumer drives)
  • Electrical & Compliance Specifications:
    Parameter Details Performance Metrics
    Electrical Ratings - Power Supply: 24V DC ±10% (18V~28V DC)
    - Power Consumption: 2.5W (active read/write); 0.8W (standby)
    - Isolation: 250V AC (serial port to power input, 1 minute)
    - Protection: Reverse polarity (power input, fuse-protected); overcurrent (300mA auto-reset)
    Low power consumption avoids overloading legacy control cabinet power supplies; reverse polarity protection prevents damage from common wiring errors during maintenance
    Compliance Standards: CE, UL 60950-1, IEC 61131-2 (industrial control equipment), RoHS, ISO 9001    

2. Core Features

  • Critical Legacy Compatibility: Tailored for ABB’s early AC500, S400, and MasterPiece DCS systems—addresses the "legacy gap" where modern USB/network interfaces are incompatible, allowing plants to maintain production without replacing entire control systems (saving $10k~$100k per line).
  • Industrial-Grade Durability: UL 94 V0 housing with steel reinforcement and spring-loaded dust cover—withstands factory hazards (vibration, dust, minor impacts) that destroy consumer floppy drives; ensures 5+ years of reliable operation in harsh conditions.
  • Dual Error Correction: CRC + parity checking for data integrity—minimizes corruption risks when transferring critical files (e.g., PLC programs, firmware), a common issue with unprotected consumer drives in noisy industrial electrical environments.
  • Tool-Less DIN Rail Mounting: Snap-on installation to 35mm DIN rails—fits seamlessly into existing legacy cabinet layouts (e.g., S400 PLC cabinets) without drilling or modifying enclosures, reducing retrofitting time to <10 minutes.
  • Seamless Software Integration: Works with ABB Legacy Data Tool—enables technicians to transfer files between floppy disks and PCs, then upload to controllers; supports batch file operations to streamline backup of multiple controllers.
  • Low-Maintenance Design: Auto-reset overcurrent protection and sealed mechanical components—requires minimal upkeep (only quarterly head cleaning), reducing maintenance costs compared to fragile consumer drives that need frequent replacement.

3. Application Fields

  • Legacy PLC Maintenance: Early ABB Controller Support:
    • S400 PLC Program Backup: Backs up and restores control logic for ABB S400 PLCs (still used in textile mills, small manufacturing lines)—prevents permanent program loss if the PLC’s internal EEPROM fails; enables technicians to roll back to previous program versions if updates cause errors.
    • AC500-CPU210 Firmware Updates: Uploads legacy firmware to early AC500-CPU210 controllers in food processing plants—critical for maintaining compatibility with existing sensors (e.g., temperature probes) that do not work with newer firmware versions.
  • Legacy DCS Data Management: MasterPiece 200 Systems:
    • MasterPiece 200 Parameter Storage: Stores process parameters (e.g., water flow rates, chemical dosages) for ABB MasterPiece 200 DCS in municipal water treatment plants—ensures regulatory compliance by preserving historical data on floppy disks (required for EPA audits).
    • DCS Module Configuration: Transfers I/O configuration files to MasterPiece 200 DCS input modules—avoids reconfiguring modules manually (a 4-hour process) if a module fails, minimizing downtime.
  • Factory Floor Legacy Equipment:
    • CNC Machine Program Transfer: Manages custom machining programs for ABB-powered CNC lathes (early models) in machine shops—floppy disks remain the only interface for these machines, so the DSMD113 enables sharing programs between multiple CNCs.
    • Packaging Machine Recipe Updates: Transfers recipe parameters (e.g., bag sealing temperatures, filling volumes) to ABB S400-controlled packaging machines in snack food plants—legacy machines lack USB/network ports, making floppy disks the only way to update recipes for new products.
  • Industrial Retrofit & Compliance:
    • Pre-Migration Data Backup: Backs up all controller programs and configurations to floppy disks before migrating to new ABB AC500-eCo systems—ensures no data is lost during migration; allows technicians to replicate legacy processes on new hardware.
    • Compliance Documentation: Retrieves historical process logs (stored on floppy disks) from legacy controllers for OSHA or FDA audits—critical for proving compliance with safety/quality standards in industries like pharmaceuticals, automotive.
