ABB DSSS-171 – Redundant Signal Voting Unit for Safety-Critical DCS
Product Overview
The DSSS-171 is a robust voting unit designed for ABB distributed control systems, serving as a key component in safety-critical and fault-tolerant applications. It validates and processes multiple independent input signals, executing configurable voting logic such as 2oo3 or 1oo2 to deliver a reliable output decision. This mechanism reduces the risk of false trips or system downtime caused by single-point failures. Built for continuous operation in harsh industrial environments, it integrates seamlessly with ABB INFI 90 and Harmony series hardware, supporting process interlocks, ESD, and fire/gas safety systems. Its compact, rack-mountable form factor eases deployment in standard control cabinets.
