I/O Modules and Hardware

I/O Adapter Modules

Click to enlarge - 1771AdptMod_GS


An I/O adapter module in a chassis with I/O modules interfaces the I/O modules with the I/O link for communication with a scanner port for a processor at another location. I/O adapter modules for 1771 I/O are available for ControlNet, Universal Remote I/O, and Extended Local I/O links.

For 1771 I/O to be controlled by a processor other than one in the same chassis with the I/O modules, an I/O adapter module must be placed in left-most slot of the chassis containing the I/O modules.

The 1771-ASB is compatible with an I/O link with 32 I/O-adapter devices and either 82W or 150W termination.

I/O Chassis

Click to enlarge - 1771EmptyChassisFam_4C


The PLC-5 / 1771 system is a modular system that requires a 1771 I/O chassis to contain the various modules. Chassis are available in sizes of 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 module slots.

The backplane provides a communication path between the I/O modules and either the processor module or the I/O adapter module.

Description — This module provides 7 digital inputs and detects whether any wire between the switching device and the module or power supply is either short-circuited to ground or open-circuited. Communication is bidirectional. With an output image bit, you select what the module will write directly into the input image byte — the state of each input or the fault status of each input.

This Temperature Control Module is an intelligent I/O module that can accommodate 8 heat/cool PID loops for temperature control applications. The module has 8 analog inputs, each of which functions as the input for a PID loop. The PID algorithm is performed on the module for each of the loops. The output of each loop is sent from the module to the PLC processor’s data table as both a numeric value and as a time-proportioned output (TPO) signal. Your ladder logic can send either the numeric value to an analog output module, or the TPO signal to a digital output module to close the loop. For very fast cut-off, your ladder logic can use the TPO signal single-transferred to the input image. The 1771-TCM module has a thermocouple input (+100 mV) for each PID loop. The module provides auto-tuning of PID loops, self-calibration (external reference required) self-diagnostics, and detection of input open-circuit (including thermocouple break). This module includes special tuning options for temperature control in plastics machinery applications but can be used in most other temperature control situations as well.

The Encoder Counter Module maintains a count (independent of the PLC-5 processor) of input pulses that typically come from such devices as quadrature-type encoders, high-speed optical-beam counters, and certain types of switches. The module makes decisions based on the count total by comparing it to previously programmed values and activating either one or both of its outputs based on the results of the comparison. The module can also return the AC cumulated count (BCD or binary numbers) to the processor for arithmetic computations or display. The module also provides inputs for a marker signal from an encoder and a voltage-level signal from a limit switch to allow for home positioning. 1771-IJ module outputs can either be driven from the 5V DC supply through the module or from a separate load supply of a different voltage.

Wiring Arms

Wiring arms provide an easy, flexible interconnection between plant wiring and Allen-Bradley 1771 I/O modules. The integral I/O chassis clamp provides “swing-away” operation for easy module access; an integral module locking tab helps ensure connection integrity. Constructed of an industrial-grade thermoplastic, each wiring arm has one (two for isolated circuits) connection point for each required input or output to the module, plus any needed ancillary connection points for line or signal input power and ground or return. Incoming wires (14 AWG max) may be directly clamped or spade-lugged to the arm. Wiring-arm contacts to the I/O module are either tin or gold plated.

The 1771 Fused Wiring Arm (1771-WHF, -WHFB) provides fuse protection for each output of a module and eases fuse replacement without removing a module from the chassis.

Remote Termination Panels and Cables

Click to enlarge - 1771RmtTrmntnPnl_GS


The 1771 N-series analog I/O modules and some other 1771-series modules require remote termination panels (RTPs) for I/O connections. These modules have no connections for wiring arms. Instead, they provide one or two D-shell connectors for cable connection to one or two D-shell connectors at the RTP. Cable assemblies are available in lengths of 1.8m (6 ft) or 4.6m (15 ft).

The RTPs mount on asymmetrical #1 or symmetrical #3 DIN rails. An RTP provides connection points between the cable assembly on the I/O module side and the individual wires on the customer side. An RTP can also provide optional fuses/resistors.

An RTP configuration can reduce installation costs by eliminating wiring between a wiring arm and a terminal strip inside of the enclosure. With an RTP configuration, an I/O module can be replaced without disturbing a current loop.
