Description
The ABB DSDP150 (Part number 57160001-GF) is a high-speed Pulse Counter Input Module designed for the Advant Controller 400 series (AC410, AC450) and MasterPiece 200 systems. It is used to interface high-frequency pulse signals from encoders and flowmeters into the control system for precise positioning or volume measurement.

Country of Origin
This module is manufactured by ABB in Sweden, maintaining the robust industrial standards of the Advant OCS (Open Control System) family.
Application Fields
The DSDP150 is essential for applications requiring high-speed digital feedback:
- Metal Processing: Position feedback from rotary encoders on rolling mills and slitters.
- Paper Industry: Measuring web speed and length in paper machine sections.
- Flow Measurement: Capturing pulses from turbine flowmeters for accurate dosing and billing.
- Conveyor Systems: Synchronizing motor speeds and tracking product positions in automated logistics.
Product Usage Instructions
- Mounting: Insert the DSDP150 into a dedicated sub-module slot on the carrier board (e.g., DSBC series) within the controller rack. Ensure the locking screws are tightened.
- Configuration: Use ABB AMPL (Advant Master Programming Language) to define the counter functions in the database. Set the measurement mode (e.g., frequency vs. position) and scale factors.
- Field Wiring: Connect encoder or sensor wires to the corresponding terminal base. For long cable runs, ensure that the shield is grounded at only one end to prevent noise interference.
- Signal Matching: Verify that the jumper settings or software parameters match the output voltage level of your sensor (5V/15V/24V) to avoid damaging the input circuitry.
- Diagnostic Check: Monitor the module LEDs. A “Run” LED indicates active communication with the CPU, while specific channel LEDs will flash in proportion to the input pulse frequency.
Product Technical Description
The DSDP150 acts as a high-speed translator for the central processor. Technically, it offloads the pulse-processing task from the main CPU, which is too slow to count signals at 100 kHz. The module features internal hardware registers that increment or decrement based on the phase of the incoming pulses (supporting A/B quadrature signals for direction sensing). It also includes filtering circuitry to eliminate contact bounce or electrical noise, ensuring that only valid pulses are recorded in the counter register.
Q&A (Common Questions)
Q: Does the DSDP150 support quadrature encoders? A: Yes, it can handle A and B phase signals to determine both the speed and the direction of rotation.
Q: Can I use this with a 5V TTL encoder? A: Yes, the module is configurable to accept different voltage levels, including standard 5V TTL signals.
Q: What is the difference between the DSDP150 and the DSDP170? A: The DSDP150 is a standard counter module, while the DSDP170 often features more channels or enhanced synchronization features for complex motion control.
Q: How do I handle a “Counter Overflow”? A: The software logic should be programmed to detect when the 16-bit register reaches its maximum value and either reset the counter or increment a software-based “high-word” register to track total distance.
