Information About 1771-ASB

The 1771-ASB is part of the PLC-5 family and serves as a high-performance RIO adapter that connects a 1771 I/O chassis to a PLC-5 processor via a RIO network. It supports daisy-chain topology and uses Belden 9463 “Blue Hose” cable with 82 Ω or 150 Ω terminating resistors depending on system configuration. The module accommodates up to 32 I/O adapter devices and supports 1- and 2-slot addressing across 4-, 8-, 12-, 16-, or 32-slot chassis. Enhanced onboard diagnostics—including Active, Adapter Fault, and I/O Rack Fault indicators—facilitate troubleshooting and improve system availability in remote installations.

Key Features:

  • Universal RIO Interface: Enables communication between PLC-5 controllers and 1771 I/O chassis via Remote I/O networks.
  • Multiple Data Rates: Supports 57.6, 115, and 230 kbps communication speeds for varied system requirements.
  • Long-Distance Operation: Provides up to 10,000 ft cable support at 57.6 kbps using Belden 9463 Blue Hose.
  • Enhanced Diagnostics: Includes LED indicators for Active, Adapter Fault, and I/O Rack Fault conditions.
  • Flexible Addressing: Compatible with 4- to 32-slot chassis using 1- or 2-slot addressing schemes.
  • Backplane Efficiency: Improves scan performance by optimizing I/O rack image handling.
  • Industrial Certifications: UL, CSA, CE, and Class I Div 2 compliant for harsh industrial environments.
  • In-Chassis Mounting: Installs in the left-most slot of a 1771 chassis for standardized system layout.

The 1771-ASB delivers the reliability and precision required for distributed Remote I/O communication in PLC-5 automation systems.
