System Architecture & Signal Flow
The DSQC697 interfaces directly with the AB PLC backplane, communicating via the controller’s internal bus. Signal flow is managed through the option board’s onboard logic, which conditions, buffers, and routes I/O signals between the host controller and connected field devices. The module supports standard AB addressing conventions, allowing seamless tag-based programming in Studio 5000 / RSLogix environments. Backplane power is drawn from the host rack; no external power supply is required for standard operation.
