FAQ
Can the CompactFlash card from an older DSQC 335 be used in the DSQC 373?
While the physical slot may be compatible, the DSQC 373 (3HAC3180-1) requires system software specifically compiled for the Pentium II architecture. It is recommended to perform a full system backup and restore using the correct RobotWare version for this specific board.
Does this board require active cooling?
The DSQC 373 (3HAC3180-1) is designed for use within the S4C+ cabinet, which provides forced-air cooling. Ensure that the cabinet fans and filters are functional to prevent the processor from thermal throttling during high-cycle operations.

Tech & Buying Guide
Evolving SCADA System Architectures in Industrial Automation
A robust Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system serves as the heartbeat of modern industrial operations. Understanding SCADA system architecture is vital for engineers designing efficient control systems. These architectures have evolved from isolated, monolithic structures to highly interconnected, networked ecosystems. Choosing the right design requires balancing data visibility, processing power, and long-term scalability requirements.
Choosing the Right Controller: PLC vs. Motion Controller in Industrial Automation
Selecting the optimal control architecture is a foundational decision in industrial automation. Engineers must frequently choose between a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a dedicated Motion Controller. While both systems manage machinery, their underlying design philosophies differ significantly, impacting performance, scalability, and system integration.
Mastering PLC Power Supply Architectures and Operating Voltages
Selecting the correct operating voltage is a critical step in designing reliable industrial automation systems. Whether you are working with a compact PLC or a large-scale DCS, your power architecture dictates the system's longevity. In this guide, we explore the standard voltage ranges and power distribution strategies required to maintain stable factory automation operations.
