Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1201-HA2 Series B is a handheld programming terminal designed for SCANport-compatible Allen-Bradley drives and controllers. This compact, portable interface enables field engineers and maintenance technicians to configure parameters, monitor system performance, and perform real-time diagnostics directly on the factory floor. With its user-friendly LCD display and tactile keypad, the 1201-HA2 streamlines commissioning and troubleshooting workflows without requiring a laptop or desktop PC.
Key Features
- SCANport Compatible: Interfaces seamlessly with Allen-Bradley adjustable frequency drives and motion controllers via SCANport protocol.
- Portable Design: Compact handheld form factor with protective NEMA Type 1 enclosure for indoor industrial environments.
- Parameter Management: Upload and download complete drive parameter profiles; supports storage of up to two parameter sets in resident memory.
- Fault Diagnostics: Immediate fault display and fault queue viewing (last four faults) for rapid issue isolation.
- Intuitive Interface: Mini liquid crystal display with function keys and user-friendly button navigation for parameter search and adjustment.
- Field Ready: 12V DC operation ensures compatibility with portable power sources; 0.11A current draw minimizes power consumption.

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The 1201-HA2 Series B is a direct field-replaceable programming interface for earlier versions and may serve as a functional replacement for handheld programming needs on legacy SCANport systems. Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering. No direct OEM substitute models are currently available from Rockwell Automation, as this unit is discontinued and the 1201 platform has been superseded by modern touchscreen HMI solutions.
Works With
- SCANport industrial protocol and bus systems
- Allen-Bradley Studio 5000 Logix Designer for offline parameter backup and upload
- Legacy Allen-Bradley control systems using 1336, 1305, 1394, and SMP-3 platforms
- NEMA Type 1 indoor industrial environments (IP 30 rating)
