DSQC363 3HAC1462-1

FAQS

• Why can ABB DSQC363 3HAC1462-1 prevent the main computer from starting?
  The robot computer runs first and releases the main computer only after its preliminary diagnostics have passed.
• What happens if ABB DSQC363 3HAC1462-1 is cold-booted with RobotWare 3.2?
  RobotWare 3.2 is not supported and can overflow the robot-computer flash memory, requiring special recovery equipment.
• What does the red F indicator on ABB DSQC363 3HAC1462-1 reveal during initialization?
  The F indicator turns off when board initialization is accepted. If the controller cannot start and the robot-computer fault light comes on during testing, investigate the robot-computer diagnostic stage before assuming the main computer has failed.
• How is read/write memory retained on ABB DSQC363 3HAC1462-1?
  The robot computer uses battery-backed read/write memory.
• Which communications pass through ABB DSQC363 3HAC1462-1?
  The robot computer handles system I/O, serial communication and teach-pendant communication in addition to axis control.
• Which serial connections must remain distinguishable when refitting ABB DSQC363 3HAC1462-1?
  SIO1 and SIO2 are separate serial connection positions. Preserve each harness assignment so that restoring one serial path does not inadvertently exchange it with the other.
• Why is the CAN connection on ABB DSQC363 3HAC1462-1 checked separately from the serial ports?
  CAN provides the controller network connection, while SIO1 and SIO2 are serial connections. A functioning serial device does not establish that the CAN communication path is working.
• What do the yellow TxD and RxD indicators on ABB DSQC363 3HAC1462-1 distinguish?
  TxD indicates transmission activity and RxD indicates reception activity on the associated communication path. They help separate outgoing and incoming traffic; activity alone does not confirm that the intended application exchange is complete.
