Allen-Bradley 1794-ASB

The Allen-Bradley 1794-ASB Remote I/O communication adapter module is an essential component of the FLEX I/O series, streamlining distributed I/O configurations by linking FLEX I/O modules to I/O scanner ports. This module supports legacy RIO protocols and is compatible with a variety of Allen-Bradley controllers like the PLC2, PLC3, PLC5, and SLC500, as well as modern Logix platforms and third-party devices. With impressive communication rates of 57.6Kbps, 115.2Kbps, and 230.4Kbps, it delivers 24VDC nominal power, converting it efficiently to 5VDC for the backplane. Operational monitoring is simplified with built-in status LEDs, while the design allows for the connection of up to eight FLEX I/O modules. For optimal performance, it should be installed within a protective enclosure, ensuring both power efficiency and effective thermal dissipation.
