Allen-Bradley 1769-SM1 Compact I/O to DPI/SCANport Module

Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1769-SM1 is a versatile and reliable Compact I/O to DPI/SCANport module designed for use with MicroLogix 1500 and CompactLogix controllers, as well as remote 1769-based adapters. It supports both DPI and SCANport communication protocols and offers seamless integration with your automation system.

This module offers the flexibility to connect and configure devices quickly and efficiently, making it ideal for industrial applications. The 1769-SM1 supports automatic baud rate detection and can be easily integrated into existing setups.

Key Features

• Automatic Protocol Detection: The module automatically detects whether the connected host is DPI or SCANport and adjusts to the correct baud rate, ensuring smooth communication.
• I/O Expansion: Use the 1769-SM1 to expand I/O capabilities of MicroLogix 1500 or CompactLogix controllers, offering more flexibility for your automation needs.
• Multiple Configuration Tools: Several configuration tools are compatible with the module. For DPI products, use PowerFlex HIM, RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, or DriveExplorer (version 3.01+). For SCANport products, use the controller’s configuration software.
• Data Link Configuration: Supports Logic Command/Reference and up to four bi-directional pairs of Datalinks for parameter read/write, allowing for advanced configuration options.

Installation Considerations

• Ensure all required equipment is available before installation. Refer to the Getting Started chapter for initial setup guidance.
• Be mindful of the current limits for MicroLogix 1500 Base Unit or Compact I/O power supplies. A bank of modules must not exceed the current capacity specified by the power supply (e.g., 1769-PA2). For details, consult the MicroLogix 1500 User Manual or the Compact 1769 Expansion I/O Power Supplies Installation Instructions.
• The 1769-SM1 has a distance rating of six, meaning it should be installed within six modules of the I/O bank’s power supply.
