Description

The Allen-Bradley 1785-PFB is an industrial communication module designed to establish network linkages within distributed control configurations. Operating as a hardware integration device for the legacy PLC-5 processor architecture, it provides co-processing resources that handle data exchanges independently of primary scanner routines. The assembly features a dedicated serial portal layout, combining a main channel that executes signaling protocols over a standard RS-485 interface with a secondary auxiliary port that supports standard RS-232 serial links. By handling specific network traffic and communication overhead locally, the 1785-PFB ensures continuous and consistent data transfers across heterogeneous field networks and specialized host infrastructure in continuous processing environments.

Features

Dual integrated serial channels accommodating parallel RS-485 and RS-232 infrastructure layout options.
Independent coprocessor execution loops to offload heavy serialization layers from the host central processor unit.
Front-facing built-in multi-segment status display offering localized visual feedback.
Standard form-factor alignment matched for direct installation inside conventional PLC-5 chassis slots.

Applications

Real-time network interfacing with peripheral instruments and auxiliary field instrumentation.
Distributed multi-node serial networking within centralized processing operations.
Point-to-point data acquisition links for localized host SCADA tracking.
