Description

The Allen-Bradley 1747-BA is a dedicated lithium battery assembly engineered specifically for the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 modular programmable logic controller system. This critical maintenance component provides reliable, long-term volatile memory backup and real-time clock retention for SLC 500 processor units during power-down cycles, preventing the loss of user programs, configuration data, and data tables.

Constructed as a non-rechargeable cylindrical cell with integrated connecting wires and a polarized connector plug, the 1747-BA installs directly into compatible SLC 500 processor chassis configurations including the 5/01, 5/02, 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05 controllers. It maintains high energy density and stable discharge characteristics across extended operational lifetimes, ensuring uninterrupted industrial automation reliability.

Features

  • Engineered specifically for Allen-Bradley SLC 500 processor memory backup
  • Non-rechargeable lithium chemistry ensures stable shelf life and consistent discharge voltage
  • Provides reliable volatile RAM retention and real-time clock data preservation during system power loss
  • Includes factory-terminated wiring harness and keyed connector for secure, direct mating to processor boards
  • Compact cylindrical cell design fits neatly within standard controller battery compartments

Applications

  • SLC 500 processor RAM memory backup and retention
  • Real-time clock data preservation during scheduled or unexpected power outages
  • Control program and data table protection in standalone automation cabinets
  • Preventing data loss in remote terminal unit (RTU) and machine-level PLC installations

FAQ

Which Allen-Bradley controllers are compatible with the 1747-BA battery?

The 1747-BA battery assembly is specifically designed for Allen-Bradley SLC 500 fixed and modular controllers, including the SLC 5/01, 5/02, 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05 processor units.

Is the Allen-Bradley 1747-BA rechargeable?

No, the 1747-BA is a non-rechargeable lithium cell battery. Attempting to recharge it can cause venting, leakage, or rupture.

What is the primary function of this battery in an SLC 500 system?

It provides backup power to the processor's RAM and real-time clock when system power is turned off, preventing the loss of user control programs, configuration data, and data tables.

How often should the 1747-BA battery be replaced?

Replacement intervals vary depending on operating conditions and power-down frequency, but it is typically recommended to replace the battery every 2 to 5 years or when the controller indicates a low battery fault (DH status LED).
