The 1769-SM1 module is a vital component for expanding your control system. This Allen-Bradley module acts as a bridge between your CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500 controller and DPI or SCANport devices. It is specifically designed to communicate with PowerFlex 7-class drives. This adapter automatically detects the connected host protocol. It then adjusts to the correct data rate. This feature simplifies installation and reduces configuration time. It is a reliable solution for modern automation needs.
This communication module has specific electrical characteristics. The 1769-SM1 has a current consumption of 280 mA at 5V DC. Additionally, its channel requires 60 mA at 12V DC. It supports data rates of 125 kbps and 500 kbps. The module utilizes DPI or SCANport protocols. It can only be placed up to 6 modules away from the power supply. This distance rating ensures proper power distribution across the rack.
This module works seamlessly with several controller platforms. For instance, it supports the CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 controllers. It also connects directly to PowerFlex 7-class drives. Furthermore, the 1769-SM1 is compatible with any product that supports DPI. It also works with legacy devices that use SCANport. This versatility makes it a flexible choice for system upgrades. Moreover, the module features an auto-baud function. It detects the host data rate automatically. Therefore, you do not need to set dip switches manually.
The physical design of this module suits industrial environments. Its dimensions are 118 mm x 87 mm x 35 mm. It weighs approximately 142 grams. The operating temperature range is from -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F). Importantly, you must not install it in locations with corrosive gases. Similarly, avoid areas with volatile vapors or conductive dust. Such conditions could damage the electronics. The module uses copper wire for connections. It accepts solid wire sizes from 22 to 14 AWG. Meanwhile, stranded wire sizes from 22 to 16 AWG are also acceptable.
Installing the 1769-SM1 module is straightforward. First, mount it on a standard DIN rail. The module includes upper and lower DIN rail latches. These latches secure it firmly in place. Alternatively, you can use the panel mounting tabs. These tabs allow for direct panel installation. Next, connect the bus connectors. The module has both male and female pins for easy linking. Finally, connect the cable to your drive. The maximum cable length depends on the data rate. Specifically, you can use up to 100 meters at 125 kbps. However, this length decreases to 75 meters at 500 kbps. For SCANport hosts, the cable length is 10 meters.
This module requires careful placement within the system. It cannot be more than 6 modules away from the power supply. Exceeding this limit may cause voltage drops. Consequently, the module might not function correctly. Additionally, the 1769-SM1 has a specific slot limitation. It must be placed within the first six slots after the power supply. This rule applies to both CompactLogix and MicroLogix systems. Besides these placement rules, remember that the module has no onboard processing. It merely acts as a communication gateway. Therefore, all logic control remains in the main controller.
