Product Description P/N: 1771-DB
Description
The Allen-Bradley 1771-DB is a communication module designed for PLC-5 systems, providing serial and DH-485 connectivity for industrial applications. It enables data exchange through RS-232-C, RS-422-A, RS-485, and DH-485 ports while supporting BASIC and C program execution directly on the module. With built-in processing capability and block-transfer communication, it enhances system performance by offloading tasks from the main PLC processor.

Information About 1771-DB
The 1771-DB is a PLC BASIC communication module that integrates seamlessly into 1771 I/O chassis systems. It supports multiple serial standards, including RS-232-C, RS-422-A, RS-485, and DH-485, allowing communication with a broad range of external devices such as printers, modems, computers, and third-party controllers. Featuring onboard RAM and program execution capability, the module can perform data handling, parsing, calculation, and report generation independently of the PLC-5 processor. Its block-transfer interface ensures efficient data movement between the processor’s data table and the module’s memory, reducing programming overhead and improving system throughput.
Key Features:
- Multi-Protocol Communication: Supports RS-232-C, RS-422-A, RS-485, and DH-485 for versatile device integration.
- Independent Program Execution: Runs BASIC and C programs directly on the module to reduce PLC processor load.
- Block-Transfer Interface: Provides efficient memory exchange with PLC-5 processors for fast communication cycles.
- Battery-Backed Memory: Includes onboard RAM for storing program logic and application data during power loss.
- Isolated Communication Ports: 500 VDC isolation improves reliability and protects both module and backplane.
- Flexible Serial Connectivity: Offers separate ports for serial communication and DH-485 networking.
- Diagnostic Indicators: Built-in status LEDs simplify monitoring and troubleshooting of communication activity.
- Compact Form Factor: Occupies a single slot in the 1771 I/O chassis for simple installation.
The 1771-DB provides advanced communication and processing capabilities ideal for PLC-5 applications requiring flexible serial integration and independent data handling.
