ABB DSAV111 (57350001-CN) – Rack-mounted signal module for legacy Advant/drive systems

The ABB DSAV111, catalog code 57350001-CN, is a plug-in module commonly used in ABB Advant and DC/drive-based control racks for signal handling and system interfacing. From my experience, plants keep this as a direct-replacement spare because it drops into the existing rack, pulls power from the backplane, and restores a failed channel group without re-engineering the cabinet. It’s a practical way to keep mature lines running with minimal disruption.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty: 365 days coverage
• Delivery time: 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment terms: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery
• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• Backplane-powered: No external PSU needed; the module draws the required voltages directly from the ABB rack.
• Drop-in replacement: Designed to fit the existing subrack footprint for quick swap-outs during maintenance windows.
• Stable, legacy-compatible behavior: Typically used to maintain proven control strategies in running plants without changing I/O maps.
• Robust industrial build: Suited for cabinet environments with continuous operation; ESD-safe handling recommended.
• Traceable part coding: 57350001-CN variant; in many cases the “-CN” denotes regional supply while keeping electrical equivalency with the underlying design.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

Plants keep DSAV111 modules on hand where legacy ABB platforms are the backbone of production. Typical scenarios include:

• Metals processing and rolling lines relying on established DC/drive controls
• Pulp & paper machines where Advant-based racks handle critical I/O
• Cement, mining, and bulk material handling with continuous-duty cabinets
• Conventional power and auxiliary systems requiring predictable, stable control
• Marine and test stands that standardize on ABB legacy modules for serviceability

One thing I appreciate is how quickly maintenance teams can swap a failed card and bring a line back up. You might notice that this approach usually avoids requalification work, which is often the hidden cost in modernization projects.

Advantages & Value

• Reliability: Proven field performance; keeps established control loops stable.
• Compatibility: Fits existing ABB racks and backplane—no cabinet redesign.
• Cost control: In many cases, a direct spare is more economical than re-engineering an entire I/O slice.
• Lifecycle support: Ideal for bridging upgrade timelines and reducing production risk.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet environment: Mount in a clean, ventilated enclosure; keep ambient within typical 0–55 °C.
• Rack fitment: Power down the rack unless your site procedures explicitly qualify live insertion for the specific slot. ESD wrist strap is strongly advised.
• Wiring & grounding: Use shielded cables where specified; terminate shields at a single reference point to minimize noise.
• Routine checks: Visual inspection for oxidation, loose connectors, or dust; light cleaning with non-residue electronics cleaner as needed.
• Firmware/parameter notes: If the system architecture stores parameters on the controller, verify configuration after swap. Some sites keep a pre-swap backup to speed validation.
• Spares strategy: Keeping one tested spare per critical rack is, typically, the most economical insurance against downtime.

Quality & Certifications

• Certifications: CE-marked in most cases; UL Recognized status can vary by revision.
• RoHS: Legacy modules may not be RoHS-compliant; many plants accept them in maintenance scenarios.
• Quality system: Manufactured under ABB’s ISO 9001 quality framework.
• Warranty: 365 days repair/replace support as stated above.

Related Supporting Components (commonly paired)
