Information About 1756-DHRIO

The 1756-DHRIO is part of the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 1756 communication module family, developed to bridge modern Logix platforms with older Allen-Bradley network infrastructures. This module supports two independent communication channels, each configurable for DH+ or RIO operation. In DH+ mode, it enables peer-to-peer communication between PLC-5, SLC 500, and ControlLogix controllers. In RIO mode, it allows the ControlLogix controller to act as a scanner or adapter for legacy remote I/O devices. It features high-speed data transfer, network diagnostics, and LED status indicators for simplified monitoring. Rack-mounted in a ControlLogix chassis, the 1756-DHRIO provides seamless integration of legacy systems into modern control architectures.

Key Features:

  • Design: Dual-channel communication module for ControlLogix systems.
  • Networks Supported: Data Highway Plus (DH+) and Remote I/O (RIO).
  • Channels: Two independent ports configurable for DH+ or RIO.
  • Compatibility: Interfaces ControlLogix controllers with PLC-5, SLC 500, and legacy I/O.
  • Functionality: Supports peer-to-peer communication and RIO scanner/adapter roles.
  • Diagnostics: LED indicators for channel status and network activity.
  • Installation: Rack-mounted in 1756 ControlLogix chassis.
  • Application Range: Suitable for system integration, legacy migration, and hybrid automation.

The 1756-DHRIO delivers the connectivity and flexibility required for integrating legacy networks with modern ControlLogix systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1756-DHRIO
Question: What is the 1756-DHRIO module and what is its main purpose?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

The 1756-DHRIO is a ControlLogix communication module designed to connect Data Highway Plus (DH+) and Remote I/O (RIO) networks. It enables data exchange between ControlLogix controllers, PLC-5, and SLC systems. With dual channels, it can handle up to 32 Logix connections simultaneously. This makes it an essential bridge for integrating legacy and modern industrial devices.

Question: How much power does the 1756-DHRIO consume, and what are the backplane requirements?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

The module draws approximately 1.7 mA at 5V DC and 850 mA at 24V DC from the backplane. It has a maximum power dissipation of 4.5 Watts and a thermal dissipation of 15.4 BTU/hr. These specifications are critical for calculating total chassis power requirements. Ensure the power supply can handle the combined load of all installed modules.

Question: How does the 1756-DHRIO module connect to the network?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

The module includes:

  • Two 3-pin terminal connectors for Channels A and B for wiring DH+ or RIO.
  • An 8-pin mini-DIN port that parallels Channel A for local device connections.
  • Wiring with Belden 89463 twinaxial cable is recommended for reliable operation.

Terminating resistors must be installed at both ends of the network to ensure proper signal integrity.

Question: Can the 1756-DHRIO module be installed or removed while the chassis is powered?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

Yes, the 1756-DHRIO supports hot-swapping, allowing it to be installed or removed while the ControlLogix chassis is powered. However, it’s essential to follow proper safety procedures, including ensuring the area is nonhazardous and using ESD protection. This feature makes maintenance and upgrades easier without shutting down the entire system. It helps reduce downtime and improves system flexibility.

Question: Is the 1756-DHRIO still in production?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

No, the 1756-DHRIO module is officially discontinued as of December 31, 2024. After this date, the product is no longer available for sale from Rockwell Automation. Customers should plan to transition to an engineering replacement. Early planning for migration to a supported communication module is recommended.
