10M Teach Pendant Controller

About ABB 3HACSxTPU4 10M (DSQC 3120) Teach Pendant Controller

ABB 3HACSxTPU4 10M (DSQC 3120) is the FlexPendant operator controller used for manually moving the robot, programming, commissioning, monitoring processes, and performing service operations in ABB industrial robot systems.

In ABB's official IRC5 product documentation, the 3HAC part number is defined as “FlexPendant 10 m”. In the same document, the part number for the separate 10-meter FlexPendant cable is specified as 3HAC. Therefore, 3HAC refers not only to the cable but also to the 10 m connected FlexPendant unit.

ABB 3HAC General Features

• ABB SxTPU4 FlexPendant
• DSQC 3120 hardware family
• 10 meter connection distance
• Industrial robot programming and control applications
• Manual movement (jog) control of the robot
• Adjustment of robot positions
• Program creation and editing operations
• Use in robot commissioning activities
• Display of system and process information by the operator
• Operator interface to assist in fault diagnosis and service operations
• Design suitable for field use in industrial robot cells

ABB 3HAC Technical Specifications

ABB also emphasizes that different hardware versions of the FlexPendant have been produced over the years and that these versions may not be fully compatible with all IRC5 controllers/RobotWare versions. Therefore, if a part change is to be made through the robot or controller, it is important to check the 3HAC part number and the compatibility of the existing system.

What Does ABB SxTPU4 Teach Pendant Do?

The Teach Pendant is one of the essential control tools that allows the robot operator to work alongside the robot cell. It is used for tasks such as teaching the robot's movements, determining positions, and commissioning the production program.

Main purposes of use:

• Manual movement of robot axes
• Teaching robot positions
• Preparing and editing robot programs
• Testing programs
• Controlling production processes
• Commissioning the robot
• Performing maintenance and service operations
• Monitoring system statuses and error information

10 Meter Wired FlexPendant Structure

One of the important features of the 3HAC version is that it has a connection length of 10 meters. In ABB's official spare parts list, 3HAC is directly listed as 10 m FlexPendant, while the 30-meter alternative is listed as 3HAC.

The 10-meter connection especially helps the operator reach different points around the robot while staying connected to the control unit in large robot cells.

DSQC 3120 and SxTPU4 Structure

The product is also available in the market under the definitions SxTPU4 / DSQC 3120. For the DSQC 3120 family, there are various service components such as screen, joystick, mainboard, enabling switch, and communication/power cable. For example, the 10-meter communication and power cable is defined separately with the 3HAC part number.

This distinction is important when purchasing spare parts: 3HAC refers to the complete 10 m FlexPendant; 3HAC refers to the 10 m FlexPendant cable.
