Description of 1747-PIC

The 1747-PIC SLC 500 RS-232 to RS-485 Interface Converter by Allen-Bradley is a device that allows RS-232 devices like the SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, SLC 5/05, MicroLogix 1000, 1200, and the 1500 to connect to a DH-485 network. It has a 25-pin connector for interface pin-out, a 2-pin connector to transmit data from the PC to the converter, a 20-pin connector for a PC and a converter, and a 3-pin connector for receiving RDX Data from the converter to the PC. The 1747-PIC works best with the built-in COM1 and COM2 serial communication ports. It is not compatible with the USB-to-serial adapter and it does not support serial port extender boards which extend the COM port capacity. It has dimensions of 13cm x 10cm x 20cm and weighs approximately 0.29 kg.

Looking for a USB version of the 1747-PIC then our 1747-UIC is perfect and is fully compatible with Windows 7, 8 and 10 (32 or 64 bit)

If you have any issues you can call or email us for support, we also offer a full refund if you are not happy. We have also created a procedure that will be mailed (on the CD with the drivers) to show you the settings that are needed or can be found on our website (product support page). Drivers are included on a mini CD or/and can also be downloaded from our website.

The 1747-C13 cable is not needed as it is built as part of the cable.

You will also need RSLinx 2.53 or greater, RSLinx is free from Rockwell Automation (Allen Bradley) and can be downloaded.

The/Allen-Bradley SLC 500 Modular Processors is a family of small programmable controllers built around 2 hardware options: a fixed controller or a modular controller. The fixed controller provides the following: power supply, inputs and outputs, and processor all in one unit; and a 2-slot expansion chassis for increased flexibility. The modular controller offers additional flexibility in system configuration, more processing power, and I/O capacity; thus allowing the creation of a controller system specifically designed for your application. These controllers communicate across an embedded DH-485 network which allows program support and monitoring.
