Product Information

Experience a world of quality performance processors enhanced with memory protection. The Allen-Bradley 1785-L60B PLC has protected memory that allows you to limit access to critical areas of programs and I/O words. It comes with built-in Web services such as DNS, which allows you to access the web server with a specified name instead of with an IP address. This processor boasts multiple central control programs, allowing segregation of control tasks for seamless processing. The device also has a programmable fault response feature, which promptly alerts you to problematic conditions. Its module can expand system validity and security, making it a convenient tool for enterprise and branch office operations. The PLC-5 1785-L60B processor has a 64K memory, which is supported by DH Plus port mode. There is also a universal remote I/O with a maximum of 32 chassis per link. As such, the Backplane current load is 3.3 A at 5V, which is practical for smooth operations. The PLC-5 1785-L60B has a programmable controller, which is the foundation of control architecture. Particularly useful for current and future technologies, it is designed to seamlessly integrate with a variety of systems. These systems include networks such as the Ethernet, ControlNet, and DeviceNet. Similarly, the PLC-5 1785-L60B also offers full compatibility and connectivity among controllers, including devices such as SLC 500, ControlLogix, and MicroLogix. The PLC-5 connectors include embedded network connectors, which allows any type of modern control architecture to easily use a variety of cost-effective connections for multiple types of hardware. The PLC-5 1785-L60B controller is unique because it integrates information, control, and device communication capacity without resorting to third-party resources. In addition, these PLC controllers can be configured quickly using traditional high-end software tools to program in structured text, function block, sequential function charts, and ladder logic tools. Looking at the architecture, the PLC-5 1785-L60B controller reveals a programmable controller and I/O modules in a single chassis with a power supply. In addition to the broader architecture, the PLC-5 series also contains I/O scanner ports. In fact, this Allen-Bradley PLC model contains onboard extended local I/O scanner port, ControlNet port, and DeviceNet port. In a typical configuration inside the PLC-5 1785-L60B controller, a ControlNet port interfaces the processor to the ControlNet link. Likewise, an I/O Adapter Module provides I/O modules with an interface to the ControlNet link. This useful architecture allows the PLC-5 controller to dynamically control and monitor the I/O in its local I/O chassis. Plus the controller can also conveniently control and monitor the I/O in remote locations. The design of Allen-Bradley PLC-5 1785-L60B controller allows first-time users to effortlessly configure the layout of the system. You can start by determining the network configuration and the placement of components in each location. Subsequently, you may decide if each location will have its individual controller. As such, it is recommended to place each controller's I/O on an isolated network. Doing so will not only maximize the performance but also help in supporting future network.
