Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 1747-KE is a communication interface module designed for the SLC 500 series of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). This module serves as a bridge between SLC 500 controllers and devices using DH-485 or RS-232C communication protocols. It enables data exchange and communication between SLC 500 systems and other industrial devices, including computers, operator interfaces, and third-party controllers.
The 1747-KE module is particularly useful for legacy system integration, allowing older SLC 500 systems to communicate with modern networks and equipment, thus extending the life and functionality of existing automation infrastructure.
