Frequently asked questions

The 1747-ASB module can be used to connect a variety of Allen-Bradley I/O modules, including analog, digital, and specialty I/O modules, as long as they are compatible with the SLC 500 system. Refer to the SLC 500 Modular Hardware Style User Manual for a complete list of compatible modules.

The number of adapters allowed on the RIO link depends on the capabilities of the scanner and the adapters. A maximum of 32 adapters can be used if the scanner and all adapters have extended node capability. However, if the scanner or any adapter does not have extended node capability, the maximum number of adapters is 16.

The PRL feature allows you to prevent the 1747-ASB module from automatically resuming RIO link communications after a communication failure. This can be useful in situations where you want to ensure that the module is not accidentally reactivated while troubleshooting a problem. When enabled, the module will only resume communications after a momentary short across terminals IN and RET.
