Frequently Asked Questions about 1747-L524
Question: How does the 1747-L524 handle communication and integration with other devices?
Date Update:06/06/2025
Answer:

The 1747-L524 features a built-in DH485 communication port, allowing it to interface with HMIs, SCADA systems, and other Allen-Bradley controllers like PLC-5, CompactLogix, and ControlLogix. This port enables both receiving and initiating messages, supporting flexible data exchange. Users can also utilize the 1747-PIC module for programming connectivity. Additionally, the controller supports messaging with third-party systems that communicate via DH485. These capabilities make it a versatile choice for industrial networks.

Question: What is the power consumption of the 1747-L524?
Date Update:06/06/2025
Answer:

The 1747-L524 has the following backplane current requirements:

  • At 5V DC: 350 milliamps
  • At 24V DC: 105 milliamps

These values are essential for calculating the total power requirements when configuring the SLC 500 system.

Question: Is the 1747-L524 compatible with all SLC 500 I/O modules?
Date Update:06/06/2025
Answer:

The 1747-L524 supports a wide range of SLC 500 I/O modules, including digital, analog, and specialty modules. However, it is not compatible with certain modules, such as the 1746-BLM and 1746-MPM. It's important to consult the module's documentation or Rockwell Automation's compatibility guides to ensure proper integration.

Question: What are the memory and backup options for the 1747-L524?
Date Update:06/06/2025
Answer:

The 1747-L524 comes with 4KB of battery-backed RAM for user programs. It also supports optional EEPROM modules, which can store the user program and allow for automatic program reload in the event of power loss. The battery (catalog number 1747-BA) is user-replaceable and provides backup power to retain the RAM contents.

Question: Is the 1747-L524 still in production?
Date Update:06/06/2025
Answer:

No, the Allen-Bradley 1747-L524 SLC 5/02 controller was officially discontinued by Rockwell Automation on January 31, 2017. Customers are encouraged to plan for migration to newer platforms, such as CompactLogix or ControlLogix, to ensure long-term support and availability.
