Information About 1203-GU6

The 1203-GU6 is part of the Allen-Bradley 1203 family of communications modules, developed to provide seamless integration between DeviceNet networks and SCANport-based products. It features a 5-pin or 10-pin DeviceNet connector, an 8-pin mini-DIN SCANport connector, and an RS-232 port for configuration and diagnostics. Supporting peer I/O capabilities, it allows drives and controllers to broadcast or receive I/O data across the DeviceNet network. The unit operates on 24 VDC power with low consumption, while also drawing auxiliary power from SCANport. Compatible devices include Allen-Bradley 1305, 1336, 1394, 1397, and 1557 drives, as well as smart motor protection systems. The module offers configurable DIP switches for node address and baud rate, with factory defaults set at node 63 and 125 kbps. Built with a NEMA 1/IP30 enclosure, it withstands industrial environments with operating temperatures of 0–50 °C and humidity up to 95% non-condensing. Although discontinued, it remains a key component in legacy drive and control applications.

Key Features:

  • Series: Part of the Allen-Bradley 1203 family of DeviceNet/SCANport communication modules.
  • Function: Converts DeviceNet messages to SCANport protocol for drive communication.
  • Ports: Equipped with DeviceNet (5-pin/10-pin), SCANport (8-pin mini-DIN), and RS-232 serial.
  • Mounting: DIN rail installation with compact enclosure.
  • Power Supply: Operates at 24 VDC (60 mA) and 12 VDC (30 mA) via SCANport.
  • Configuration: DIP switch settings for node address, baud rate, and operating mode.
  • Compatibility: Supports Allen-Bradley 1305, 1336, 1394, 1397, and 1557 drives, plus SMP-3 protectors.
  • Communication: Provides peer I/O capability for exchanging drive signals over DeviceNet.
  • Protection: Enclosed in NEMA Type 1 / IP30 housing for dust resistance.
  • Environment: Operates between 0–50 °C with 5–95% non-condensing humidity.

The 1203-GU6 delivers reliable communication bridging for legacy DeviceNet-to-SCANport integration in industrial automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1203-GU6
Question: What is the Allen-Bradley 1203-GU6 used for?
Date Update:27/05/2025
Answer:

The 1203-GU6 is a communication interface module that connects Allen-Bradley SCANport devices to a DeviceNet network. It acts as a translator, converting DeviceNet protocol messages into SCANport-compatible commands. This allows legacy drives and motor controllers with SCANport interfaces to participate in modern networked control systems. It’s widely used in distributed motor control and drive systems.

Question: How are DIP switches used to configure the module?
Date Update:27/05/2025
Answer:

The module features DIP switches to configure key parameters such as DeviceNet node address, data rate, and polling structure. Switch settings must align with the rest of the DeviceNet network to avoid address conflicts. Referencing the user manual is essential when configuring DIP switches to ensure safe and predictable operation.

Question: What are the module's physical dimensions and installation requirements?
Date Update:27/05/2025
Answer:

The 1203-GU6 measures approximately 1.8" x 3.0" x 5.0" (4.57 cm x 7.62 cm x 12.7 cm) and is mounted using a DIN rail. Adequate clearance is required for ventilation and cable routing. The module must be housed in a protected environment or enclosure to meet safety and IP ratings.

Question: Which devices are compatible with the 1203-GU6?
Date Update:27/05/2025
Answer:

The module supports a range of Allen-Bradley SCANport-enabled devices, including 1305, 1336 PLUS, PLUS II, IMPACT, FORCE drives, 1394 systems, SMC Dialog Plus, 1397 DC drives, and 1557 Medium Voltage drives. All supported devices must have a SCANport interface. Compatibility ensures reliable communication and parameter control between the host network and the field device.

Question: Is the Allen-Bradley 1203-GU6 still in production?
Date Update:27/05/2025
Answer:

As of the most recent available data, the 1203-GU6 remains in production and supported by Allen-Bradley. It is still widely used in legacy systems and available via distributors. For long-term system planning, always confirm its lifecycle status via the Rockwell Product Lifecycle Status Tool to ensure continued support or plan a transition path.
