Description

Product Overview

The ABB 3HAB8101-8-10A(DSQC346G)is a 10-meter(10m)teach pendant cable designed for use with ABB’s IRC5 robot controller systems.This ABB 3HAB8101-8-10A cable serves as the vital physical link between the robot operator’s interface—the FlexPendant—and the IRC5 control cabinet.It enables operators and programmers to manually control the robot,jog axes,write and edit programs,monitor system status,and perform diagnostics from a safe and convenient distance within the production environment.The DSQC346G designation identifies this specific cable model within ABB’s DSQC(Digital Signal and Quick Connect)product family,engineered for reliable and noise-resistant communication in demanding industrial settings.

Functionally,the ABB 3HAB8101-8-10A DSQC346G transmits a combination of power,high-speed data,and control signals bidirectionally.It delivers power from the IRC5 cabinet to operate the FlexPendant’s display,buttons,and internal electronics,while simultaneously carrying real-time data such as robot position,speed,program execution status,and alarm information from the controller to the pendant.Conversely,it transmits operator inputs—such as motion commands,program edits,and menu selections—from the pendant back to the controller.The 10-meter length provides significant operational flexibility,allowing personnel to maneuver around the robot cell,observe the robot’s interaction with tools and parts,and maintain a safe distance during testing and commissioning.The 3HAB8101-8-10A is constructed with high-flexibility,abrasion-resistant materials to withstand the constant coiling,uncoiling,and potential snags that occur during daily use in a factory environment,ensuring long-term durability and uninterrupted communication.

Main Features and Advantages

The ABB 3HAB8101-8-10A DSQC346G offers several key advantages essential for efficient and safe robot operation.Its primary benefit is the extended 10-meter reach,which significantly enhances operational flexibility.This length allows operators to program and monitor robots from various vantage points within a large cell,improving visibility and safety,especially during initial setup,troubleshooting,or maintenance tasks.The cable facilitates better ergonomics by enabling users to work from comfortable positions without being tethered close to the control cabinet.

Another critical advantage is its robust industrial construction.The DSQC346G cable is specifically engineered for the harsh conditions of a factory floor.Its flexible,high-strand-count copper conductors resist fatigue from repeated bending,while the durable outer jacket provides excellent resistance to abrasion,oil,and mechanical impact.The comprehensive electromagnetic shielding(both braid and foil)ensures signal integrity,preventing data corruption or communication errors that could lead to erratic robot behavior or lost programming.This reliability is paramount for maintaining productivity and safety.The 3HAB8101-8-10A also features secure,locking connectors at both ends,preventing accidental disconnection during use,which could halt robot operation or pose a safety risk.As a genuine ABB component,it guarantees perfect compatibility and plug-and-play functionality with IRC5 systems and ABB FlexPendants,eliminating compatibility issues and ensuring seamless integration.

Application Field

The ABB 3HAB8101-8-10A DSQC346G is an indispensable component in any manufacturing facility utilizing ABB robots controlled by the IRC5 platform.It is widely used across industries such as automotive manufacturing for tasks like spot welding,arc welding,painting,and material handling on assembly lines.In electronics and semiconductor production,the cable enables precise programming of robots for delicate component placement and assembly.In general industry,it supports applications ranging from machine tending of CNC mills and lathes to palletizing,depalletizing,and packaging operations.

The 10-meter length is particularly valuable in large robot cells,such as those found in body-in-white sections of car plants or in extensive material transfer systems.It allows technicians to safely observe the robot’s entire range of motion while jogging it,verify tool paths,and make adjustments without needing to constantly move back to the control cabinet.During robot programming and simulation,the extended reach enables engineers to position themselves optimally to view the interaction between the robot,end-of-arm tooling(EOAT),and the workpiece.The 3HAB8101-8-10A is also crucial for maintenance and diagnostics,allowing service personnel to access the pendant from various locations within the cell to check error logs,perform calibration routines,or conduct safety checks.By providing a reliable and flexible connection,this cable ensures that operators can effectively and safely interact with ABB robots throughout their operational lifecycle.

Installation and Maintenance

Pre-installation preparation:Before installing the ABB 3HAB8101-8-10A DSQC346G,ensure the IRC5 controller cabinet is powered down,especially if replacing an existing cable.Inspect both ends of the new cable for any physical damage to the connectors or the cable jacket.Verify that the connectors are clean and free of debris.Route the cable path mentally or physically to avoid sharp edges,moving machinery,excessive heat sources,or areas prone to fluid spills.Ensure there is sufficient slack to allow the full range of motion without over-stretching or kinking the cable.No special tools are typically required,as the connectors are designed for hand-tightening.

Maintenance recommendations:Regularly inspect the 3HAB8101-8-10A cable for signs of wear,such as cuts,abrasions,crushing,or kinks,especially near the connectors where stress is highest.Check the connectors for tightness and ensure the locking mechanisms are engaged.Avoid tightly coiling the cable when not in use;instead,loosely loop it to prevent internal conductor damage.Keep the cable off the floor where it can be stepped on or run over by carts.If communication errors occur with the FlexPendant(e.g.,intermittent display,unresponsive buttons),the DSQC346G cable should be inspected as a potential cause.Replacement is straightforward:disconnect the old cable from both the cabinet and the pendant,route the new 3HAB8101-8-10A along the same path,and securely connect it to both ends.Power up the system;the IRC5 should automatically recognize the pendant.
