Remote I/O Adapter Module 3
1747-ASB Module Overview
The 1747-ASB module is an SLC 500 single-slot, RIO communication link module. It occupies the first slot (slot 0) of a 1746 remote chassis, where the SLC processor normally resides.
The 1747-ASB module is an adapter, or slave, on the RIO link, and the master of the remote chassis and remote expansion chassis in which it is installed. Remote
expansion chassis are optional. The module acts as a gateway between the scanner and the I/O modules residing in the remote chassis and remote expansion chassis.
It maps the image of the I/O modules in its remote chassis and remote expansion chassis directly to the SLC or PLC processor image.
Output data is sent from the scanner of either the SLC or PLC local chassis to the
1747-ASB module across the RIO link. This data is automatically transferred to the output modules across the chassis backplane by the 1747-ASB module. Inputs from the input modules are collected via the backplane by the 1747-ASB module and sent back to the scanner across the RIO link. No user programming of the 1747-ASB module is necessary.

Remote I/O Adapter Module 5
Slot Addressing
Slot Numbering
The 1747-ASB module is capable of controlling 30 slots. When expansion chassis are used, the 1747-ASB module treats all of the I/O modules as if they are installed in a single chassis.
The remote chassis and remote expansion chassis slots are numbered from 0 to 30.
The 1747-ASB module must reside in slot 0. Slots numbered 31 and above cannot be used.
Installing modules in slot 31 or above results in a module error.
IMPORTANT
Addressing I/O Modules
SLC and PLC processors address the I/O modules residing in the chassis by logical rack and logical group. Slot addressing refers to how each chassis slot is assigned a specific amount of the 1747-ASB module image. The amount depends on which type of slot addressing you choose; 2-slot, 1-slot, and 1/2-slot addressing is available, as shown below.
IMPORTANT
Due to SLC and PLC addressing differences, when the 1747-ASB module is used with an SLC processor, the image bit numbers are
0 to 7, 8 to 15 decimal. When the 1747-ASB module is used with a PLC processor, the image bit numbers are 0 to 7, 10 to 17 octal.

DIP Switches
Publication 1747-IN014C-EN-P - January 2003
Remote I/O Adapter Module 7
Configuration Parameters
The DIP switches allow you to configure the following items:
•
Starting Logical Rack Number (Logical Rack) - is the 1747-ASB module’s starting logical rack number in the scanner’s image.
•
Starting Logical Group Number (Logical Group) - is the 1747-ASB module’s starting logical group number within the scanner’s image.
•
Baud Rate (Baud Rate) - is the 1747-ASB module’s RIO link communication rate. The baud rate must be the same for all adapters on the RIO link.
•
Primary/Complementary SLC Chassis (PRI/COMP) - determines whether the 1747-ASB module appears to the scanner as a primary or complementary chassis.
•
Adapter Image Size (IMAGE SIZE) - indicates the I/O image size to be reserved for the adapter. It can be any size between 2 and 32 groups in
2 logical group increments.
•
Hold Last State (HLS) - determines whether the discrete output modules are held in their last state when:
– RIO link communication with the 1747-ASB module is lost.
– The scanner inhibits the 1747-ASB module.
– The scanner sends Reset, Adapter Decide commands to the 1747-ASB module.
•
Processor Restart Lockout (PRL) - determines whether the 1747-ASB module automatically resumes RIO link communications if communication is lost and then restored.
•
Link Response Time (RESP) - selects restricted or unrestricted RIO link response time.
•
Last Chassis/PLC-3 Backup (LAST CHA) - When the 1747-ASB module is used with a PLC-2 or PLC-5, this switch indicates to the scanner that the
1747-ASB module is the last adapter mapped into the 1747-ASB module’s highest logical rack. When using a PLC-3 processor, the switch determines whether the 1747-ASB module supports the PLC-3 backup function.
•
Addressing Mode (ADDR MODE) - determines the 1747-ASB module’s remote chassis and remote expansion chassis addressing mode. 2-slot,
1-slot, and 1/2-slot are available.
•

Connecting RIO Link Devices
Link Wiring
The modules are connected in a daisy chain configuration on any RIO link. A daisy chain network is formed by connecting network devices together in a serial manner using Belden 9463 cable. Belden 9463 cable is the only approved cable for
Allen-Bradley RIO links.
The total number of adapters allowed on the RIO link is:
•
32 if the scanner and all adapters on the RIO link have extended node capability
•
16 if the scanner or any adapter does not have extended node capability
Publication 1747-IN014C-EN-P - January 2003
12 Remote I/O Adapter Module
There are no restrictions governing the spacing between the devices, as long as the
maximum cable distance is not exceeded. Refer to the table on page 18 for baud
rate and maximum cable distances.
IMPORTANT
No two devices can be connected to the same point on the link.
An example of correct and incorrect link wiring is shown below.

Link Termination
A 6-pin keyed connector provides a quick connection to the RIO link and processor restart lockout switch. A user-supplied terminating resistor must be attached across lines one and two of the connector at each end of the RIO link. The size of the resistor depends on the baud rate and whether the scanner and all adapters have extended node capability, as shown in the table below. The cable shield must be connected to chassis ground only at one end of the RIO link.

Wiring a Processor Restart Lockout Switch
When processor restart lockout is enabled (SW3-2) and communications are restored, the 1747-ASB module does not respond to any type of communication, or communication commands until terminals IN and RET are momentarily shorted together. This occurs while the RIO scanner is attempting to communicate with the
1747-ASB module.
ATTENTION
Cycling power on any 1747-ASB module chassis removes the processor restart lockout condition by re-initializing the
1747-ASB module.
!
Use a momentary switch (Class 1, Division 2) to short terminals IN and RET together. The processor restart lockout is removed as soon as the switch toggles back to the open circuit position.
Do not connect anything to the NC (No Connect) terminal.
