Information About 1784-PCMK
The 1784-PCMK is part of the Allen-Bradley communication interface product line, providing seamless connectivity between PCs and legacy industrial networks. It connects directly to a PCMCIA slot and enables access to DH+, DH485, and RIO networks, commonly used for PLC, SLC, and industrial controller communication. This makes it an essential tool for configuration, diagnostics, and monitoring in automation systems. Operating at 5VDC with a current draw of 160 mA, the 1784-PCMK delivers reliable communication performance while maintaining portability for field use. It is classified as Class A industrial equipment under IEC/CISPR 11 standards and is intended for Pollution Degree 2, Overvoltage Category II environments. The card can be used at altitudes up to 2000 meters without derating. However, as it is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, proper handling precautions must be followed during installation and use.
Key Features:
- Design: PCMCIA Type II card for notebook and personal computers.
- Connectivity: Interfaces with DH+, DH485, and Remote I/O networks.
- Compatibility: Supports communication with Allen-Bradley PLCs and SLCs.
- Performance: Enables remote programming, data messaging, and diagnostics.
- Power Requirements: Operates at 5VDC, 160 mA.
- Standards: Rated Class A under IEC/CISPR 11, Pollution Degree 2, Overvoltage Category II.
- Environment: Operates up to 2000 m altitude without derating.
- Handling: Requires electrostatic discharge protection during installation and use.
The 1784-PCMK delivers the connectivity and reliability required for industrial communication across DH+, DH485, and Remote I/O networks.
