Information About 1747-DPS1

The Allen-Bradley 1747-DPS1 is a DF1 communication splitter that enables multiple devices to simultaneously interface with a controller’s RS-232 port. Designed for CompactLogix, ControlLogix, PLC-5, SLC-500, and MicroLogix systems, it simplifies network access by offering dedicated controller, network, and programming/HMI ports. Supporting autobaud DF1 communication, BCC/CRC checksum modes, and multiple fixed baud rates, it ensures reliable communication across legacy and modern Rockwell platforms. With compact dimensions, 24VDC operation, and four status indicators, it provides a dependable and space-efficient solution for expanding serial communication capabilities in industrial automation systems.

Key Features:

  • Multi-Device Communication Support: enables simultaneous connection of a programming terminal, HMI, and DF1 network device to a single controller serial port without requiring manual cable swapping or port reconfiguration.
  • Dedicated Port Architecture: includes a controller port with autobaud detection, a network port supporting DF1 full-duplex communication, and a 9-pin programming/HMI port for streamlined diagnostics and configuration.
  • DF1 Protocol Compatibility: fully supports DF1 full-duplex messaging with selectable BCC or CRC error checking to ensure reliable communication across Rockwell Automation controllers.
  • Compact Industrial Design: features a small footprint for easy DIN-rail or panel installation, making it suitable for crowded control cabinets and retrofit applications.
  • LED Status Indicators: four front-panel LEDs provide real-time feedback for power, communication activity, and port status to simplify troubleshooting and commissioning tasks.
  • Wide System Compatibility: works seamlessly with SLC-500, PLC-5, MicroLogix, CompactLogix, and ControlLogix platforms, enhancing flexibility when integrating mixed-generation automation systems.
  • 24VDC Low-Power Operation: consumes only 100 mA, allowing easy integration into standard Class 2 power circuits while maintaining stable operation under industrial conditions.

The 1747-DPS1 delivers the reliability and precision required for expanding DF1 serial communication across diverse Allen-Bradley automation platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1747-DPS1
Question: What is the communication speed of the 1747-DPS1?
Date Update:20/06/2025
Answer:

The 1747-DPS1 communicates using the DF1 Full Duplex protocol at a fixed rate of 19.2 Kbps. The controller port can auto-baud at 19.2 or 38.4 Kbps depending on the connected controller's settings. It supports standard 8 data bits and 1 stop bit configuration. The baud rate must match the controller for proper operation. All ports are designed for reliable and synchronized serial communication.

Question: Which devices can connect to the 1747-DPS1?
Date Update:20/06/2025
Answer:

This port splitter supports simultaneous communication with the following device types:

  • PLCs (e.g., SLC 500, MicroLogix, ControlLogix) via RS232
  • HMIs such as PanelView using the respond-only port
  • Programming workstations or laptops through the 9-pin D-shell connector
  • Serial data loggers or diagnostic tools

The 1747-DPS1 ensures secure and uninterrupted data flow between the controller and multiple peripheral devices.

Question: What are the physical dimensions of the 1747-DPS1?
Date Update:20/06/2025
Answer:

The device measures approximately 96.8 mm x 50.6 mm x 33.3 mm (3.81 x 1.99 x 1.31 inches), making it compact enough for DIN-rail mounting in control panels. Its small size supports flexible installation near controllers. It weighs about 168 grams (0.37 pounds). The compact form makes it suitable for high-density control cabinets. It can operate in ambient temperatures between 0 to 60 °C.

Question: Is the 1747-DPS1 isolated?
Date Update:20/06/2025
Answer:

No, the 1747-DPS1 does not provide electrical isolation between its ports. All connected devices share a common ground. Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that all connected equipment is referenced to the same ground potential. Improper grounding may result in signal interference or hardware damage. Use caution when integrating into systems with multiple ground sources.

Question: How is the 1747-DPS1 installed?
Date Update:20/06/2025
Answer:

The 1747-DPS1 can be DIN-rail mounted inside a control enclosure. It is connected to the controller via its 9-pin D-shell connector and to field devices through 8-pin mini-DIN ports. Installation is straightforward and requires minimal wiring. Status LEDs provide visual feedback during setup. Ensure proper cable routing and grounding to avoid signal issues.
