Product Description

Description

The Allen-Bradley 1785-LT is a legacy PLC-5 programmable logic controller processor designed for demanding industrial automation and discrete control applications. As part of the highly reliable PLC-5 family, this controller provides robust processing performance, deterministic I/O scan execution, and versatile communication capabilities well-suited for medium-scale legacy architectures and migration planning.

This processor supports the installation of up to four local racks, including the resident rack. It features built-in communication interfaces designed to integrate seamlessly with wider plant networks, supporting legacy architectures and distributed control strategies without requiring complex auxiliary hardware.

Features

  • Supports up to four local racks, including the resident rack
  • 6 kilowords of standard SRAM memory, expandable up to 14 kilowords
  • Supports a maximum total I/O capacity of 3,072 mixed points, or 3,072 inputs and 3,072 outputs in complementary configurations
  • Integrated Data Highway Plus (DH+) communication port supporting simultaneous messaging with RIO
  • Built-in Remote I/O (RIO) channel functionality for distributed drops
  • Configurable RS-232-C/422-A/423-A serial communication port

Applications

  • Discrete manufacturing and assembly lines
  • Legacy process control and monitoring systems
  • Material handling and conveyor automation
  • Water and wastewater treatment facility upgrades
  • Plant-wide supervisory control integration via Data Highway Plus

Connections / Interfaces

The 1785-LT processor is equipped with multiple physical communication interfaces. The Data Highway Plus (DH+) port allows simultaneous communication with programming terminals, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and supervisory control systems. The dedicated Remote I/O (RIO) port handles communication with remote chassis drops, while the serial port accommodates general ASCII devices, modems, or alternative programming links.

Installation Guidelines

Install the 1785-LT processor into the designated primary slot (slot 0) of the compatible PLC-5 chassis. Ensure the chassis power supply is powered off before inserting or removing the module. Verify that backplane connectors are clean and undamaged. Configure communication addresses and memory switches in accordance with system software requirements prior to initial commissioning.

FAQ
What is the memory capacity of the Allen-Bradley 1785-LT?
The Allen-Bradley 1785-LT programmable controller processor features 6 kilowords of standard SRAM memory. This memory capacity is fully expandable up to 14 kilowords to accommodate larger legacy control programs and complex discrete automation logic.
How many local racks can be connected to the Allen-Bradley 1785-LT?
The Allen-Bradley 1785-LT processor supports the installation of up to four local racks, including the resident rack. This makes it an ideal legacy controller for managing localized discrete control tasks in medium-scale industrial architectures.
What are the maximum I/O capacities supported by the Allen-Bradley 1785-LT?
The Allen-Bradley 1785-LT programmable controller processor supports a maximum total I/O capacity of 3,072 mixed points. Alternatively, it can handle 3,072 inputs and 3,072 outputs in complementary configurations for extensive plant floor integration.
Which communication ports are built into the Allen-Bradley 1785-LT?
The Allen-Bradley 1785-LT processor is equipped with an integrated Data Highway Plus port, a dedicated Remote I/O channel for distributed drops, and a configurable RS-232-C/422-A/423-A serial communication port. These interfaces allow the controller to seamlessly communicate with HMIs, programming terminals, and remote chassis.
What is the proper installation procedure for the Allen-Bradley 1785-LT?
To install the Allen-Bradley 1785-LT processor, always power off the chassis power supply before inserting or removing the module. The controller must be placed into the designated primary slot zero of a compatible PLC-5 chassis after verifying that backplane connectors are clean.
