1761-CBL-PM02, Allen Bradley 1761 Series PLC Cable for Use with MicroLogix Series, RS232

Allen Bradley PLC Cable For Use With MicroLogix Series, RS232 Output, 2m Cable - 1761-CBL-PM02

This Allen Bradley cable from Rockwell Automation provides connections for PLCs (programmable logic controllers) in the MicroLogix series. It offers reliable control capabilities and is easy to plug into a PLC processor using the 9-pin DTE (data terminal equipment) connector end. This then connects to an 8-pin AIC+ (advanced interface converter) communication port so the signal can be converted for transmission to another device. CAbles like this are commonly used to create a linked setup in factory automation, machine processing or with conveyors that need simple mechanical control.

• 2m cable length for versatile use• Right-angle 8-pin connector end for fitting into AIC+ machines in awkward corner spaces• Multi-wire cable for high-quality receiving and transmitting of data• Durable thermoplastic cable jacket to prevent rust or tears in the wire

Standards and Certifications

• UL (Underwriters' Laboratories)• CE (Conformité Européenne)• EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)• EN (European Norm)

How secure a connection does this cable make with a PLC?

• SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, or SLC 5/05 processors, channel 0 connecting to RS-232 (8-pin mini-DIN) communication port
• MicroLogix 1000, 1200, and 1500 processors connecting to RS-232 (DB-9, DTE) Communication Port
• PanelView through NULL modem adapter connecting to RS-232 (8-pin mini-DIN) communication port
• PC com port connecting to RS-232 (8-pin mini-DIN) communication port

This cable makes an extra-secure connection with a PLC due to the latched design on the 9-pin connector end. The connector fits snugly into place and is further protected by screw terminals that tighten the cable in place.

Features and Benefits:

• 2m (6.5ft) length
• Connection designed for use with MicroLogix PLC’s
• User-supplied component: cable straight-D connector port 2

What is a PLC?

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) are complex computers which automate control processes by using programs to communicate electronic signals to machines and devices. In simplified terms, they are usually comprised of three components: A CPU (Central Processing Unit), which is the brain or processor of the system, Inputs, and Outputs. An input module detects signals from things like switches, sensors, and buttons. This is processed by the CPU, which leads to an output relaying the CPU’s instructions to a machine or device. PLC system functions can be expanded by adding extra I/O modules. These devices are widely used in modern industrial automation for controlling machinery, in industries such as packaging, food and beverage production, pharmaceutical, and printing.

Rockwell Automation is a global leader in industrial automation and digital transformation, and brings smart manufacturing to life. With a long legacy of creating Allen-Bradley® integrated control and information solutions, we help make you as productive as possible. Our portfolio of sensing, safety and motor control products can support your move towards smart machine applications. Allen-Bradley® IO-Link sensors are data-enabled and communicate with all field buses, providing diagnostic and health information about the device before a machine stops, and enabling quick production changeovers through fast parameter downloads from PLCs into the device. This reduces machine downtime and increases manufacturing OEE. For safety components, products with built-in diagnostics simplify the set-up of the smart device, and reduce maintenance, leading to a more efficient, machine data-driven approach.
