0369565-REF | ABB DFE 01 | Freelance DCS Coaxial Network Card

Product Description

Legacy Ethernet Connectivity for Freelance DCS

The DFE 01 (Part Number: 0369565-REF) is a specialized Ethernet communication module designed for the ABB Freelance 2000 distributed control system (DCS) architecture. This module facilitates network integration using the 10Base2 Ethernet standard (Thinnet), enabling reliable data exchange between decentralized process stations and the control level. As a critical legacy component, the DFE 01 (0369565-REF) allows for the maintenance and extension of existing coaxial-based industrial networks without requiring a complete infrastructure overhaul to modern twisted-pair cabling.

Detailed Technical Specifications

The DFE 01 is engineered to provide deterministic communication within high-EMI (electromagnetic interference) industrial environments typical of power and process plants.
