Allen Bradley AB Wiring System Swing-Arm Conversion Module 1492-CM1771-LA003 /A

Allen-Bradley 1492-CM1771-LA003 Swing-Arm Conversion Module

The Allen-Bradley 1492-CM1771-LA003 Swing-Arm Conversion Module facilitates the seamless transition from legacy 1771 analog I/O modules to the modern 1756 ControlLogix I/O system. This module is specifically designed to convert the 1771-OFE1 or 1771-OFE2 analog output modules to the 1756-OF6VI or 1756-OF6CI modules, respectively.

Key Features

• Effortless Conversion: Enables the upgrade from 1771 to 1756 I/O modules without the need to disconnect existing field wiring, minimizing downtime and reducing the risk of wiring errors.
• Direct Compatibility: The existing 1771 swing arms connect directly to the edge connector of the 1492-CM1771-LA003 module, ensuring a straightforward installation process.
• Comprehensive Kit: The conversion setup includes the 1492-CM1771-LA003 module, a compatible cable (such as the 1492-CONACAB005E), and a conversion mounting assembly (e.g., 1492-MUA).
• Environmental Resilience: Designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 to 60°C and rated IP20 for environmental protection.

Installation Overview

The conversion process involves the following steps:

1. Attach the existing 1771 swing arm to the 1492-CM1771-LA003 conversion module.
2. Connect the appropriate 1492 cable between the conversion module and the 1756 I/O module.
3. Mount the assembly using the designated 1492 conversion mounting hardware.

This streamlined approach ensures that field wiring remains intact, facilitating a smooth and efficient upgrade path to the ControlLogix platform.

Applications

The 1492-CM1771-LA003 is ideal for industries seeking to modernize their control systems by upgrading from PLC-5 to ControlLogix platforms. It supports the conversion of analog output modules, making it suitable for applications requiring precise analog signal control.

By utilizing the 1492-CM1771-LA003 Swing-Arm Conversion Module, facilities can enhance their system capabilities while preserving existing wiring infrastructure, leading to cost savings and improved operational efficiency.
