The 1785-LT3 is a PLC-5/12 Processor Module engineered to direct sequential control, automated processing operations, and comprehensive factory-floor data handling. This slot-mounted hardware component installs into the left-most slot of a standard 1771 I/O chassis, executing specialized ladder logic programs to manage complex system variables. Functioning as a standalone and adapter-capable device on industrial networks, the 1785-LT3 coordinates multi-node signals and diagnostic data via built-in physical connection interfaces.

Features

  • Seamless interlocking architecture designed exclusively for insertion into standard 1771 I/O chassis frames
  • Integrated rear switch assembly (SW1) enabling direct manual assignment of the physical station address
  • Multiple front-facing LED diagnostics providing continuous real-time verification of operational, communication, and battery conditions
  • Dedicated logic capabilities that execute bit-level instructions, advanced math functions, and automated runtime troubleshooting

Applications

  • Sequential manufacturing control networks
  • Machine-level diagnostic and execution systems
  • Distributed data acquisition nodes
  • Distributed control architecture utilizing peer-to-peer communication

Installation Guidelines

  • Chassis Positioning: Always install the processor module into the dedicated, left-most slot of the 1771 I/O backplane chassis to ensure proper logic termination.
  • Keying Band Fitment: Position the hardware keying bands securely within the backplane rails between slots 40 and 42, and between slots 54 and 56 to verify correct module insertion.
  • Isolation Warning: Turn off all electrical supplies feeding the local I/O chassis or memory socket before mounting the hardware or sliding an EEPROM into the slot to eliminate major diagnostic faults or data corruption.
  • Ground Infrastructure: Bond a dedicated grounding electrode conductor from the I/O chassis enclosure wall star washer directly to the main plant earth ground bus to minimize industrial EMI.

Compliance and Certifications

  • CSA certified
  • CSA Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D

Technical Datasheet

Allen-Bradley 1785-LT3 PLC-5/12 Processor Module

What is the backplane power requirement for this device?

The module requires a backplane current draw of 2.5A from the local chassis power supply assembly.

Which specific slots must be keyed for this hardware installation?

The mechanical keying bands must be placed between positions 40 and 42, and between positions 54 and 56 within the chassis.

What is the maximum program memory limit of the processor module?

The device contains a fixed internal memory capacity of 6K words to hold user applications and program instructions.

What happens if a memory module is handled while the system has power?

Inserting or removing the EEPROM module while power is applied can cause a complete loss of program memory and trigger a permanent processor major fault.
