SLC 500 Programmable Controllers and I/O Modules

1747-AIC Isolated Link Coupler

SLC 500 programmable controllers communicate across an embedded DH-485 network for program support and monitoring.

The following products provide networking options for the SLC 500 programmable controllers: 1747-PIC Interface Converter,

1747-AIC, and 1761-NET-AIC Advanced Interface Converter. The Isolated Link Coupler provides an electrically isolated network

connection for an SLC 500 controller. One coupler is required at each DH-485 network drop. The coupler includes a 304.8 mm (12 in.)

cable for connection to the programmable controller. Note that a maximum of 32 devices can be connected to the network.

1761-NET-AIC Advanced Interface Converter

This device is an isolated RS-232 to RS-485 converter. It allows two RS-232 devices (SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, SLC 5/05;

MicroLogix 1000, 1200, and 1500; DTAM Micro; PanelView 500 and 900) to connect to the DH-485 network. The AIC+

can be DIN-rail or panel mounted and is industrially hardened (UL, CSA, CE).

Universal Remote I/O

The strength and versatility of the Universal Remote I/O network comes from the breadth of products it supports. In addition to 1746 I/O,

the Universal Remote I/O network supports many Allen-Bradley and third-party devices.

Typical applications range from simple I/O links with controllers and I/O, to links with a variety of other devices. You connect devices

through remote I/O adapter modules or built-in remote I/O adapters. Using the Universal Remote I/O network instead of direct-wiring a

device over a long distance to a local I/O chassis helps reduce installation, start-up, and maintenance costs by placing the I/O closer to

the sensors and actuators.

Some devices support “Pass-Through,” which lets you configure devices remotely from a Ethernet, DH+, or DH-485/DF1 network to a

Universal Remote I/O network. The latest SLC 500 operating systems (1747-OS310, 1747-OS410, and 1747-OS510) support block transfer

instructions for faster reading and writing of I/O data. See “Operating System Upgrade Kits” on page 11 if you’d like to add this feature

to your existing SLC 5/03 or higher processor.
