Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is the 1747-PIC directly compatible with all SLC500 processors?
A: Yes, the 1747-PIC is designed to work with all SLC500 series processors (including 5/01, 5/02, 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05) that have a backplane slot. It communicates via the backplane and does not require additional modules for basic operation.Q: What software can I use to program the SLC500 via the 1747-PIC?
A: You can use Rockwell Software's RSLogix 500 (any version) or RSLinx Classic for communication setup. The interface converter supports DH+ and DH-485 protocols for programming and data monitoring.Q: Does the 1747-PIC require external power supply configuration?
A: The module draws power from the SLC500 backplane (usually 24V DC). No separate power supply wiring is needed for most standard chassis. However, check your chassis power rating to ensure sufficient capacity.Q: Can this interface converter be used to connect multiple SLC500 units in a network?
A: Yes, the 1747-PIC can serve as a node on a DH+ or DH-485 network. Multiple units can be linked to form a multi-drop network, enabling data exchange between controllers and supervisory systems.Q: What is the maximum cable length supported for DH+ communication with this module?
A: For DH+ networks using Belden 9463 or equivalent cable, the maximum length is typically 3,000 feet (approx. 914 meters) at 57.6 kbps. For longer distances, repeaters may be required. Please consult the Allen Bradley manual for detailed limitations.Q: How do I verify the 1747-PIC is functioning properly after installation?
A: Check the LED indicators on the front panel. A steady green LED for power and a blinking green LED for communication activity indicate normal operation. If the fault LED is solid red, check for incorrect configuration or hardware issues.Q: Is the 1747-PIC still in production? Can I get spare parts?
A: The 1747-PIC is a legacy product, but Rossonix maintains a substantial inventory of new and refurbished units. We can provide spare parts and technical support. Lead time varies based on availability – please contact our sales team for current stock status.Q: Do you offer warranty on the 1747-PIC? What is the return policy?
A: Yes, we provide a standard 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. For DOA (Dead on Arrival) units, we offer immediate replacement. Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for full details. Custom warranty periods are negotiable for bulk orders.
