Product Description
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1771-ASB is a PLC-5 Universal Remote I/O Adapter Module designed to interface remote I/O modules with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in the PLC-5 family. Manufactured by Allen-Bradley, a brand under Rockwell Automation renowned for its industrial automation solutions, this module facilitates communication between a PLC-5 processor’s remote I/O scanner port and I/O modules housed in a 1771 I/O chassis. It supports the Remote I/O (RIO) protocol, enabling data transmission over long distances—up to 10,000 feet at 57.6 Kbps or 2,500 feet at 230.4 Kbps—via a daisy-chain topology using Belden 9463 cable or equivalent. The 1771-ASB is typically installed in the leftmost slot of the chassis and supports flexible I/O addressing (½-slot, 1-slot, or 2-slot), making it suitable for distributed control applications in industries like manufacturing and process automation. As a discontinued product, it remains essential for maintaining legacy PLC-5 systems.
