PLC-5 Data Highway Module
Description

About this product

Here is all you need to know


The Allen Bradley 1771-KA2 is a data highway module. An Allen-Bradley Data Highway extends the capabilities of programmable controllers by letting them exchange data with each other and with other intelligent RS-232-C devices. Data Highway integrates individual controllers into a larger automated  anufacturing network. On a single Data Highway cable, as many as 64 separate programmable controllers and computers can be connected over a distance of 10,000 feet (3,048m).

The unit that interfaces PLC-2 family programmable controllers to this network, and makes communication possible, is an A-B Communication
Adapter Module (cat. no. 1771-KA2). (See Figure 1.1) It is a Data Highway station interface module and is used with Bulletin 1772
programmable controller processors. These processors are:

  • PLC-2 Processor (cat. no. 1772-LR)
  • PLC-2/20 Processor (cat. no. 1772-LP1, -LP2)
  • PLC-2/30 Processor (cat. no. 1772-LP3)
  • Mini-PLC-2 Processor (cat. no. 1772-LN1, -LN2, -LN3)
  • Mini-PLC-2/05 (cat. no. 1772-LS, LSP)
  • Mini-PLC-2/15 (cat. no. 1772-LV)
