Technical Specifications

The DSPC172H 57310001-MP serves as the CPU unit without static read/write memory. The DSPC172H 57310001-MP can be easily connected to workstations, engineering stations, management stations, and other advanced applications. The DSPC172H 57310001-MP features secondary ports that can be used for debugging tools alongside communicating with external devices and systems.

Troubleshooting & Commissioning Checklist

Power & Safety: Ensure the S100 subrack and chassis power supplies are fully off.  Field Wiring: Verify that all analog signal cables from field transmitters/sensors are securely terminated. Ensure you are using shielded twisted-pair cables to minimize EMI and noise. Part Number Check: Confirm the card is stamped with 57310001-MP or the compatible spare part number.
Sub-Module / Daughter Cards: Check that all auxiliary communication sub-cards or battery-backed memory modules are firmly seated on the main board.
Address Selection Jumpers: Verify the physical hardware address jumpers/dials on the sub-rack correspond to the precise node address configured in the engineering station.

Field Engineering Considerations

Isolate Sub-rack Power: It is highly recommended to switch off the specific branch circuit breaker feeding the processor slot before extracting or inserting the DSPC172H to avoid backplane arcing or logic disruption to adjacent communication cards.
Form-Factor Clearance: Ensure the mandatory 50mm top and bottom clearance is completely unobstructed by wire ducts or high-density terminal blocks.
Forced Airflow: If the DSPC172H is sharing a high-density chassis with power-hungry MasterBus interfaces or heavy sub-rack power units, the enclosure must utilize functional cabinet fans. Ambient air near the card faceplate should never exceed 55°C (131°F) for continuous reliable operation.

Technical FAQ

Q: What does a solid RED "FAULT" LED indicate on the DSPC172H 57310001-MP faceplate?
A: It indicates either a severe hardware internal failure, a corrupted/wiped application runtime image (RAM loss), or a backplane power drop below 19V DC.

Q: Can you adjust the node address dials while the DSPC172H 57310001-MP is running?
A: No. The DSPC172H 57310001-MP only reads its hardware jumper/dial address matrix during its initial power-on boot sequence; on-the-fly changes will not take effect until a hard reboot.

Q: Does the DSPC172H 57310001-MP retain its application program when pulled from the rack?
A: No. The DSPC172H 57310001-MP is explicitly designed without onboard static read/write memory, meaning it will boot up entirely blank if powered down without a healthy companion sub-rack battery/memory card.

Q: How many backup batteries are physically located on the DSPC172H 57310001-MP board?
A: Zero. The DSPC172H 57310001-MP contains 0 onboard batteries, completely relying on the carrier sub-rack's centralized battery bank to maintain volatile memory states during power drops.

Q: Do you supply brand-new, original parts or second-hand refurbished items?

A: Our stock consists of Original New items; all products undergo quality inspection to ensure they are fully functional.

Q: What guarantees are included with the shipment?
A: All items in stock are tested by engineers, packed in professional ESD packaging, and shipped via express logistics with a global delivery time of 24–48 hours.

Q: How long does global shipping take?
A: Stock items are typically dispatched within 24 hours. Shipments are sent via DHL or FedEx Express, taking approximately 3–5 days to reach Asia, 4–6 days to Europe and the Middle East, and usually arriving within a week in major industrial regions worldwide.

Q: If the model I need is not listed on the website, can I request a quote?
A: Yes. We hold over 200,000 SKUs of industrial spare parts in stock, and many long-tail models are not listed in full. You can send us an RFQ (Request for Quote) directly, and we will provide wholesale pricing promptly.
