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.
