Dass167 Online

When multiple DASS167 units are deployed in a daisy-chain configuration, they automatically create a redundant communication ring. If one wire breaks, the signal reverses direction immediately. The system logs the break location for maintenance, but production never pauses.

Q1: Can I use DASS167 in a mobile application like a mining vehicle? A: Yes, provided you install additional shock mounts. The DASS167 is rated for 5g vibration, but heavy-duty off-road vehicles can produce peaks of 10g. Use anti-vibration pads to stay within tolerance.

Q2: What is the maximum cable length between a sensor and the DASS167? A: For digital inputs, 300 meters of 0.5 mm² cable. For 4–20mA analog inputs, 600 meters. Longer runs require a signal repeater.

Q3: How do I obtain replacement terminal blocks for DASS167? A: The terminal blocks are standard 3.5mm pitch Phoenix Contact clones. Order part number "DASS167-TB" from authorized distributors or use generic equivalents.

Q4: Is the DASS167 compatible with Rockwell Automation's Studio 5000? A: Yes, through an Add-On Profile (AOP). Download the .L5X file from the Rockwell sample code library under the DASS167 product ID.

Before connecting to the network, set the rotary switches on the side of the DASS167 to define its Modbus slave ID. The valid range is 1 to 247. Avoid using ID 0 (broadcast) or ID 247 (reserved for bootloaders).
