- Redundant Communication Paths: Dual Ethernet ports support simultaneous connection to plant network and programming pendant
- Proven Field Reliability: Deployed in high-cycle automotive and foundry environments with documented MTBF exceeding 50,000 hours
System Architecture & Signal Flow
Within the IRC5 controller cabinet, the DSQC1018 occupies the central compute slot of the main computer assembly. Signal flow is as follows:
- Power Input: 24 VDC regulated supply from DSQC609 or equivalent IRC5 PSU module
- Motion Control Output: Real-time axis reference signals transmitted to drive units (DSQC668/DSQC673) via internal drive bus
- I/O Bus Master: Coordinates all digital/analog I/O boards (DSQC651, DSQC652, etc.) on the internal DeviceNet segment
- Fieldbus Gateway: Routes external PLC/SCADA communication through installed fieldbus option boards
- FlexPendant Interface: Manages teach pendant (IRC5 FlexPendant) connection for operator programming and jogging
- Safety Channel: Interfaces with DSQC400 safety board for emergency stop and safeguarding logic
Sourcing & Quality Verification
All DSQC1018 units supplied by Konmask.com undergo the following verification process before dispatch:
- Visual inspection: PCB, connectors, and housing integrity check
- Power-on functional test: Boot sequence and communication bus verification
- Part number and revision label cross-check against ABB documentation
- ESD-safe packaging with anti-static bag and foam cushioning
- Serialized shipment documentation for full traceability
We source directly from ABB-authorized channels and certified industrial surplus with documented chain of custody. Counterfeit-free guarantee backed by our quality assurance policy.
Procurement Process
- Confirm Part Number: Verify your existing module label shows 3HAC058399-002, 3HAC043073-003, or 3HAC050363-001
- Confirm RobotWare Version: Note your current RW version (visible on FlexPendant → About) to ensure software compatibility
- Submit Inquiry or Order: Contact support@konmask.com with your robot serial number and controller cabinet ID for a tailored quote

- Export Compliance: All international shipments include commercial invoice, packing list, and HS code declaration (HS: 8537.10)
Technical FAQ
Q: Can I swap the DSQC1018 without re-flashing RobotWare?
A: Yes. The RobotWare license and system parameters are stored on the controller’s CompactFlash/system disk, not on the DSQC1018 itself. A direct swap retains all existing programs and configurations.
Q: Is 3HAC058399-002 the same as 3HAC043073-003?
A: These are revision-level cross-references for the same functional module. 3HAC058399-002 is the current production part number; 3HAC043073-003 and 3HAC050363-001 are predecessor revisions with identical form, fit, and function for IRB6700 applications.
Q: What is the difference between DSQC1018 and DSQC1000?
A: DSQC1018 is the updated main computer for the IRB6700/IRB7600 generation with enhanced processing capacity and expanded memory. DSQC1000 is used in earlier IRC5 platforms (IRB6640, IRB4600). They are not interchangeable.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. New units carry the original ABB warranty. Refurbished-tested units carry a 90-day Konmask functional warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions.
Q: Can you supply multiple units for a fleet maintenance program?
A: Yes. Contact us for volume pricing and consignment stock arrangements for multi-robot facilities.
