Information About 1771-SDN

The 1771-SDN belongs to the Allen-Bradley 1771 series of I/O modules and serves as the primary interface for DeviceNet communication. It includes two DeviceNet ports, allowing connection of up to 63 nodes per channel, and supports features such as Change of State (COS), Cyclic I/O, and pass-through messaging. Available in Series A, B, and C, the modules are backward-compatible, with Series C offering enhanced replacement flexibility via a configuration switch adjustment. The 1771-SDN is configured using RSNetWorx software and integrates with 1771 chassis models including 1771-A1B through 1771-A4B or later. It operates at data rates up to 125 kbps and is equipped with front-panel diagnostics, including status indicators, reset button, and node address display. Though discontinued, it remains widely used in legacy PLC-5 automation networks.

Key Features:

  • Series: Part of the Allen-Bradley 1771 Universal I/O family.
  • Function: DeviceNet scanner module for PLC-5 controllers.
  • Ports: Two DeviceNet channels with independent status indicators.
  • Compatibility: Works with 1771-A1B through A4B I/O chassis and later.
  • Networking: Supports up to 63 nodes per channel.
  • Configuration: Node address and chassis settings adjustable via switches; software setup via RSNetWorx.
  • Performance: Supports 125 kbps communication rate.
  • Features: Supports Change of State (COS), Cyclic I/O, and pass-through messaging.
  • Diagnostics: Equipped with module status indicators, reset button, and node address display.
  • Backward Compatibility: Series B and C interchangeable with Series A, with Series C requiring switch adjustment.

The 1771-SDN delivers reliable DeviceNet communication and control for legacy PLC-5 automation networks.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1771-SDN
Question: What is the Allen-Bradley 1771-SDN?
Date Update:27/05/2025
Answer:

The 1771-SDN is a DeviceNet scanner module used in Allen-Bradley PLC-5 systems, enabling those controllers to communicate over a DeviceNet network. It scans I/O devices and processes messaging between the PLC and connected field devices. The module fits into a single slot of the 1771 chassis and supports up to 63 DeviceNet nodes. It is essential for integrating decentralized DeviceNet drives or sensors into PLC-5 architectures.

Question: What’s the difference between Series A, B, and C modules?
Date Update:27/05/2025
Answer:

Each newer series offers minor hardware updates and improved diagnostics. Series C is fully backward-compatible with A and B but requires a switch setting change (switch 5 OFF) when replacing older modules. It also has an improved front panel layout with more indicators and a reset button.

Question: How is the module configured?
Date Update:27/05/2025
Answer:

Configuration is done via RSNetWorx for DeviceNet. You can assign node addresses, baud rates, and scan parameters through this software. The front panel of the module includes DIP switches and a node address display for initial setup. Series C modules may require switch 5 to be set to OFF when replacing older series.

Question: What is the maximum baud rate and network size supported?
Date Update:27/05/2025
Answer:

The module supports DeviceNet communication at up to 125 Kbps, suitable for medium-length networks. It supports up to 63 node addresses, configurable through DIP switches or RSNetWorx software. For larger or faster networks, higher-speed scanners like ControlLogix 1756-DNB may be required.

Question: Is the Allen-Bradley 1771-SDN still in production?
Date Update:27/05/2025
Answer:

No, the 1771-SDN is discontinued, and was replaced under engineering replacement guidance by Rockwell Automation. Users are encouraged to migrate to ControlLogix (1756-DNB) or CompactLogix-based DeviceNet solutions. For diagnostics, replacement, or transition assistance, consult lifecycle status tools or Rockwell migration documents.
