Information About 1747-AIC

The 1747-AIC is part of Allen-Bradley’s SLC 500 series, providing an isolated link interface for distributed control networks. It is compatible with SLC 5/01, 5/02, and 5/03 processors and supports communication via DH-485, peripheral, and CPU ports. The coupler uses a shielded twisted-pair interface and requires either the controller’s backplane or an external 24VDC power source. It is designed for panel mounting in industrial environments and complies with NEMA, IEC, and EN standards for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

Key Features:

  • Isolated Communication: Provides electrical isolation between connected devices to protect network integrity.
  • Multiple Port Support: DH-485, peripheral, and CPU terminals enable flexible network and programming connections.
  • Panel Mountable: Designed for easy installation in industrial enclosures and control panels.
  • Shielded Twisted-Pair Interface: Ensures reliable data transmission over DH-485 network segments.
  • LED Power Indicator: Provides visual confirmation of operational power status.
  • Wide Operating Range: Functions effectively between 0–60°C and 5–95% relative humidity.
  • Compliance Certified: Meets NEMA ICS 2-230, IEC1000-4-2, EN50081-2 Class A, and CSA standards.
  • Compact Design: Fits standard panel space with minimal footprint.

The 1747-AIC delivers the reliability and precision required for secure and consistent SLC 500 network communication.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1747-AIC
Question: What communication interfaces are supported by the 1747-AIC?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

The 1747-AIC features a shielded twisted-pair communication interface, which provides reliable data transfer across industrial networks. It also supports connection via a variety of cables and devices, including the 1747-C11, 1747-UIC, and 1747-C13, to interface with different peripherals. The coupler includes communication terminals for DH485, peripheral devices, and the CPU. This range of interfaces allows seamless integration into diverse industrial communication systems.

Question: What is the main function of the 1747-AIC in an SLC 500 system?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

The 1747-AIC serves as an isolated link coupler that connects SLC 500 processors to the DH485 network and a programming workstation. Its role is to enable multiplexed communication between a processor, other network devices, and a programming device. By maintaining electrical isolation, it protects connected equipment from voltage spikes and noise. This function is crucial for safe and efficient system communication in industrial environments.

Question: Can the 1747-AIC be installed in any location within a control panel?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

The 1747-AIC is designed for panel-mounted installation and conforms to NEMA and IEC standards, ensuring it is compatible with industrial environments. It fits easily into control panels thanks to its compact dimensions (5.72 x 1.37 x 5.15 inches). Proper mounting in Slot 0 or a designated panel area ensures reliable operation and accessibility. Following installation guidelines ensures effective grounding and minimizes environmental exposure.

Question: Does the 1747-AIC have any LED indicators for status monitoring?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

Yes, the 1747-AIC features a Power LED indicator that provides visual confirmation that the device is receiving power and functioning properly. This LED is essential for troubleshooting and quickly assessing the device's status. If the LED is off, it indicates that the device is not powered or there is a power-related fault. Regular monitoring of this indicator helps maintain reliable system operation.

Question: Is the 1747-AIC still in production?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

No, the Allen-Bradley 1747-AIC Isolated Link Coupler was discontinued as of January 31, 2017. Rockwell Automation announced that the product is no longer available for sale and recommended the 1746-UIC as its engineering replacement. Users are encouraged to remove references to the 1747-AIC in their documentation and plan for replacement. This ensures compatibility and continued support for their automation systems.
