Allen-Bradley 1761-NET-AIC

The 1761-NET-AIC is a MicroLogix 1000 advanced interface controller manufactured by Allen Bradley/Rockwell Automation as part of the MicroLogix 1000 product line. This unit uses the DH-485 communication to connect to other network devices. The 1761-NET-AIC advanced interface controller is specially designed and intended to fit in various small logic controllers. Besides, it is compatible with the MicroLogix 1000, 1200, and MicroLogix 1500 controllers which power the converter. The controller also features an advanced interface converter that is designed to provide a maximum point-to-point communication and RS-232 to half-duplex user mode ASCII isolator. It supports a DC power supply of 24 volts that is connected to an external power terminal. The communication rate filter of the converter matches the rate of network communication with the communication-rate selector switch. Allen Bradley 1761-NET-AIC advanced interface controller is designed is compatible with the SLC processors, and it can interconnect the SLC 500, 5/02, 5/01, and SLC 5/03 processors. Allen Bradley 1761-NET-AIC advanced interface controller is suitable for RS-232 to RS-485 isolator or point-to-point isolator. The signals of an automatic transmitter also help to establish communication between devices. The 1761-NET-AIC controller is well-matched with Modems, Logix Controllers, and PC serial ports. It is has a CE mark, and it’s certified and approved for installation within the European Union (EU) and can also be mounted either horizontally or vertically. Communication with the module is supported through the use of the hardware handshaking or automated transmission signals. The controller comes with no node address pre-linked with the network port, which allows for the configuration of the node address in the device while connected through the port.

The Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation 1761-NET-AIC advanced interface converter (AIC+) requires a twenty-four (24) volts direct current (DC) power source with a voltage range of 20.4 volts direct current (DC) to 28.8 volts direct current (DC). Additionally, the typical current draw of this Allen Bradley device is one hundred and twenty (120) milliamperes. This product also has a maximum inrush current draw rated up to two hundred (200) milliamperes. The Allen Bradley 1761-NET-AIC has an internal isolation rating of five hundred (500) volts direct current (DC) for a duration of one (1) minute. When operating this Allen Bradley device, it is important for the temperature of the surrounding area to range from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, or the equivalent temperature range of 32 degrees Fahrenheit to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. When this device is being stored, or it is just not being operated, the temperature of the surrounding area should range from -40 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius, or -40 degrees Fahrenheit to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. The Allen Bradley 1761-NET-AIC advanced interface converter is capable of being mounted via a DIN rail or via a panel mount. Additionally, this product can be mounted in a vertical orientation or a horizontal orientation. This device has communication rates ranging from 600 kilobits per second (Kbps) to 19200 kilobits per second (Kbps), as well as an AUTO option. The minimum delay times of this device range from 0.3 milliseconds to 7.3 milliseconds depending on the communication rate. Additionally, the maximum delay, which ranges from 0.7 milliseconds to 15.0 milliseconds, also depends on the communication rate. The typical delay of this product ranges from 0.5 milliseconds to 10.8 milliseconds.
