Description
Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 1771-ACN15 is a single-port ControlNet communication adapter developed for PLC-5 and 1771 remote I/O systems. This module enables high-speed data exchange between distributed I/O racks and ControlNet-based controllers, providing deterministic communication for industrial automation applications.
Installed within a 1771 I/O chassis, the 1771-ACN15 functions as a remote I/O adapter that manages data transfer between field devices and the ControlNet network infrastructure. The module supports scheduled and unscheduled messaging, diagnostic reporting, and remote network access through its integrated Network Access Port (NAP).
Designed for non-redundant media configurations, the adapter uses a BNC coaxial connection for ControlNet communication and supports transmission rates up to 5 Mbps. Its architecture is suitable for manufacturing systems that require stable real-time communication and centralized PLC control.
