1746-A7 Allen Bradley SLC 7 Slots Chassis

The Allen-Bradley 1746-A7 is a SLC 500 Chassis with Seven (7) Slots. This SLC 500 Chassis weighs 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs) and measures 28.2 x 17.1 x 14.5 cm or 11.3 x 6.8 x 5.8 inches.

The Allen-Bradley 1746-A7 houses the modular processor, communication adapter module, and input and output modules. This chassis is built with 7 slots that is part of the SLC 500 Modular Chassis that provide flexibility in the configuration of systems. In a modular system, each chassis will require its own power supply. The SLC 500 1746-A7 Modular Chassis can be used as a standalone unit in one system or can work with another one or two local chassis. The chassis interconnection cable can be used to build multiple chassis configurations and extend signal lines. This can create a total of 30 I/O slots at maximum. Interconnect chassis vertically with the 1746-C9 cable or 1746-C16 cable that comes in different lengths. Both cables have a rigid, unbending shrink wrap for strain relief when linking modules with one below another. For a horizontal layout, use the 1746-C7 cable. Do not use any other cables for the setup. Longer cables may affect data communication integrity leading to unsafe operation.

Running a ground connection from the 1746-A7 Chassis to the ground bus reduces electrical resistance. When grounding, do not lay one lug directly on top of another. Compression can cause these connections to become loose. The 1746-A7 has a maximum backplane current of 5.1 Volts DC at 10A or 24 Volts DC at 2.88A. For optimal performance, operate in temperatures between 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit), and relative humidity of 5% to 95% (without condensation).
