Information About 1784-PCMC
The 1784-PCMC bundle provides portable communication capabilities for engineers and technicians working with Allen-Bradley PLC systems. The 1784-PCMK card is a PCMCIA interface that fits into standard laptop slots, enabling direct connection to industrial networks. Depending on the system, it requires compatible cables such as the 1784-PCM5 for PLC-3, PLC-5, and 250 controllers, or other PCM series cables for different PLC generations. Through the DH+, DH-485, and RIO protocols, the module supports messaging, monitoring, and program transfer between computers and controllers. The included 1784-PCMC cable ensures reliable connectivity and is equipped with strain relief wedges to prevent disconnection issues. Typical applications include factory-floor programming, commissioning, and diagnostics of SLC, PLC, and ControlLogix systems. The 1784-PCMC is discontinued by the manufacturer but remains important in legacy system maintenance.
Key Features:
- Bundle Design: Includes 1784-PCMK PCMCIA communication card and 1784-PCM5 cable.
- Supported Networks: Compatible with DH+, DH-485, and Remote I/O protocols.
- Device Compatibility: Interfaces with PLC-2, PLC-3, PLC-5, SLC 500, and 1756-DHRIO modules (with appropriate cable).
- Communication Role: Enables program download/upload, messaging, and controller diagnostics from laptops.
- Connection: PCMCIA slot for notebooks and laptops.
- Cable Support: Requires specific PCM cables (PCM2, PCM4, PCM5, PCM6, PCMS) depending on the controller type.
- Reliability: Strain relief wedges included for secure cable connection.
- Ease of Use: Simple installation with recommended setup procedures.
- Application: Ideal for programming and troubleshooting on the factory floor.
- Status: Discontinued by manufacturer but still essential for legacy system support.
The 1784-PCMC provides portable and reliable communication capabilities for maintaining and programming legacy Allen-Bradley PLC systems.
