Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1747-SCNR is a ControlNet Scanner Module designed for integration within SLC 500</strong chassis systems. The Allen-Bradley 1747-SCNR SLC ControlNet Scanner Module acts as an interface between the ControlNet device and the SLC processor. Installs in an SLC 500 chassis and connects up to three chassis with 30 I/O modules to a single controller or communication adapter. This module facilitates deterministic, real-time data exchange across ControlNet networks in distributed automation environments.
Key Features
- Provides capability to connect to ControlNet network via two (2) ControlNet ports
- Supports non-redundant and redundant media
- Includes optical coupling and filter circuitry which provides signal noise reduction
- Can communicate with the processor in the form of M1/M0 File Transfers and Discrete I/O (DIO)
- Comes with LED status indicators such as CHA and CHB LED and an OK LED
- Capable of supporting up to 99 nodes on a ControlNet network
