Expert Technical Evaluation & Performance Review
The 1747-C20 cable delivers robust electrical isolation for sensitive programming tasks. Its 1500V DC isolation rating protects your SLC 500 controller from ground loops. This feature prevents electrical faults from damaging your control system. The cable supports the DH-485 communication protocol for efficient data transmission. This protocol allows multiple devices to communicate on the same network. You can connect the cable to a 1747-DTAM-E Data Table Access Module. This flexibility enhances your ability to monitor and modify data.
The cable’s 6.09-meter length provides ample reach for flexible workstation setups. You can easily connect your programming terminal to a distant controller. The clip-on connector type ensures a firm attachment that resists accidental disconnection. This design is critical in high-vibration industrial environments. The cable also includes electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. This shielding maintains signal integrity in electrically noisy plants. Your data transfers will remain accurate and free from corruption.
This cable integrates seamlessly with the 1747-AIC Isolated Link Coupler. This coupler extends the communication network to additional devices. You can also use the 1747-PIC Personal Interface Converter for direct PC connections. These compatible accessories expand your system’s capabilities significantly. The 1747-C20 is a genuine Allen Bradley part built for long-term reliability. It meets the strict quality standards required for industrial automation. You can trust this cable to perform consistently in critical applications.
Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Procurement managers should verify the cable length and connector type before ordering. The 1747-C20 has a fixed length of 6.09 meters (20 feet). This length is ideal for most programming and communication setups. The clip-on connector is designed for specific SLC 500 ports. Ensure your controller has the correct port to accept this connector. This cable does not support other communication protocols like RS-232. You must use a 1747-PIC converter for PC serial port connections.
Application engineers will appreciate the cable’s straightforward deployment. You simply connect one end to the SLC 500 processor. Then you connect the other end to your programming device. The cable supports the 1747-AIC for linking multiple controllers. This setup creates a robust DH-485 network for distributed control. The 1500V DC isolation protects all connected devices from surges. This feature reduces the risk of costly downtime and repairs. The 1747-C20 solves the pain point of unreliable communication links. It provides a secure and isolated path for critical programming data.
