Remote I/O Adapter Module 3
1747-ASB Module Overview
The 1747-ASB module is an SLC 500 single-slot, RIO communication link module. It
occupies the first slot (slot 0) of a 1746 remote chassis, where the SLC processor
normally resides.
The 1747-ASB module is an adapter, or slave, on the RIO link, and the master of the
remote chassis and remote expansion chassis in which it is installed. Remote expansion chassis are optional. The module acts as a gateway between the scanner
and the I/O modules residing in the remote chassis and remote expansion chassis.
It maps the image of the I/O modules in its remote chassis and remote expansion
chassis directly to the SLC or PLC processor image.
Output data is sent from the scanner of either the SLC or PLC local chassis to the
1747-ASB module across the RIO link. This data is automatically transferred to the
output modules across the chassis backplane by the 1747-ASB module. Inputs from
the input modules are collected via the backplane by the 1747-ASB module and
sent back to the scanner across the RIO link. No user programming of the 1747-ASB
module is necessary.

Required Tools and Equipment
Have the following tools and equipment ready:
• medium blade screwdriver
• (2) 1/2 watt terminating resistors (See page 18 for correct size.)
• an adequate length of RIO communication cable (Belden™ 9463) for your
specific application. (See page 18 for maximum cable distances.)
IMPORTANT :
Determining System Power Requirements
Review the power requirements of your system to ensure that the chassis supports
placement of the 1747-ASB module. The adapter consumes 600 mA at 5V dc. For a
detailed list of device load currents, refer to the SLC 500 Fixed Hardware Style
Installation and Operation Manual, publication number 1747-6.21; the SLC 500
Modular Hardware Style User Manual, publication number 1747-UM011, or the
appropriate Technical Data sheet.
Publication 1747-IN014C-EN-P - January 2003
Remote I/O Adapter Module 5
Slot Addressing
Slot Numbering
The 1747-ASB module is capable of controlling 30 slots. When expansion chassis
are used, the 1747-ASB module treats all of the I/O modules as if they are installed
in a single chassis.
The remote chassis and remote expansion chassis slots are numbered from 0 to 30.
The 1747-ASB module must reside in slot 0. Slots numbered 31 and above cannot
be used.
IMPORTANT
Installing modules in slot 31 or above results in a module error.
Addressing I/O Modules
SLC and PLC processors address the I/O modules residing in the chassis by logical
rack and logical group. Slot addressing refers to how each chassis slot is assigned a
specific amount of the 1747-ASB module image. The amount depends on which
type of slot addressing you choose; 2-slot, 1-slot, and 1/2-slot addressing is
available, as shown below.
IMPORTANT
Due to SLC and PLC addressing differences, when the 1747-ASB
module is used with an SLC processor, the image bit numbers are
0 to 7, 8 to 15 decimal. When the 1747-ASB module is used with
a PLC processor, the image bit numbers are 0 to 7, 10 to 17 octal.

Configuration Parameters
The DIP switches allow you to configure the following items:
• Starting Logical Rack Number (Logical Rack) - is the 1747-ASB module’s
starting logical rack number in the scanner’s image.
• Starting Logical Group Number (Logical Group) - is the 1747-ASB
module’s starting logical group number within the scanner’s image.
• Baud Rate (Baud Rate) - is the 1747-ASB module’s RIO link communication
rate. The baud rate must be the same for all adapters on the RIO link.
whether the 1747-ASB module appears to the scanner as a primary or
complementary chassis.
• Adapter Image Size (IMAGE SIZE) - indicates the I/O image size to be
reserved for the adapter. It can be any size between 2 and 32 groups in
2 logical group increments.
• Hold Last State (HLS) - determines whether the discrete output modules
are held in their last state when:
– RIO link communication with the 1747-ASB module is lost.
– The scanner inhibits the 1747-ASB module.
– The scanner sends Reset, Adapter Decide commands to the 1747-ASB
module.
• Processor Restart Lockout (PRL) - determines whether the 1747-ASB
module automatically resumes RIO link communications if communication is
lost and then restored.
• Link Response Time (RESP) - selects restricted or unrestricted RIO link
response time.
• Last Chassis/PLC-3 Backup (LAST CHA) - When the 1747-ASB module is
used with a PLC-2 or PLC-5, this switch indicates to the scanner that the
1747-ASB module is the last adapter mapped into the 1747-ASB module’s
highest logical rack. When using a PLC-3 processor, the switch determines
whether the 1747-ASB module supports the PLC-3 backup function.
• Addressing Mode (ADDR MODE) - determines the 1747-ASB module’s
remote chassis and remote expansion chassis addressing mode. 2-slot,
1-slot, and 1/2-slot are available.
module discretely maps or block transfer maps specialty I/O modules in its
remote chassis and remote expansion chassis.
• I/O Module Keying (KEY) - determines if the 1747-ASB module saves its
current I/O module and DIP switch configuration to its non-volatile memory,
or if the 1747-ASB module compares the current I/O module and DIP switch
configuration to the one saved in its non-volatile memory.

module.
!
1. Make sure system power is off.

Remote I/O Adapter Module 11
2. Install the module in slot 0 of the remote chassis by aligning the circuit
board with the chassis card guide.
The 1747-ASB module must be installed only in slot 0 (the left slot) of the
remote chassis. Do not install the 1747-ASB module in the remote expansion
chassis.
3. Slide the module into the chassis until the top and bottom tabs lock into
place. To remove the module, press and hold the release located on each
self-locking tab and slide the module out.
4. Cover all unused slots with the Card Slot Filler, Catalog Number 1746-N2.

Connecting RIO Link Devices
Link Wiring
The modules are connected in a daisy chain configuration on any RIO link. A daisy
chain network is formed by connecting network devices together in a serial manner
using Belden 9463 cable. Belden 9463 cable is the only approved cable for
Allen-Bradley RIO links.
The total number of adapters allowed on the RIO link is:
• 32 if the scanner and all adapters on the RIO link have extended node
capability
• 16 if the scanner or any adapter does not have extended node capability
Publication 1747-IN014C-EN-P - January 2003

There are no restrictions governing the spacing between the devices, as long as the
maximum cable distance is not exceeded. Refer to the table on page 18 for baud
rate and maximum cable distances.

Link Termination
A 6-pin keyed connector provides a quick connection to the RIO link and processor
restart lockout switch. A user-supplied terminating resistor must be attached across
lines one and two of the connector at each end of the RIO link. The size of the
resistor depends on the baud rate and whether the scanner and all adapters have
extended node capability, as shown in the table below. The cable shield must be
connected to chassis ground only at one end of the RIO link.

Wiring a Processor Restart Lockout Switch
When processor restart lockout is enabled (SW3-2) and communications are
restored, the 1747-ASB module does not respond to any type of communication, or
communication commands until terminals IN and RET are momentarily shorted
together. This occurs while the RIO scanner is attempting to communicate with the
1747-ASB module.
ATTENTION
Cycling power on any 1747-ASB module chassis removes the
processor restart lockout condition by re-initializing the
1747-ASB module.
!
Use a momentary switch (Class 1, Division 2) to short terminals IN and RET
together. The processor restart lockout is removed as soon as the switch toggles
back to the open circuit position.

Using a SLC as a Master
If you are using a SLC processor as a master, each I/O module is addressed by the
physical slot number of the 1747-SN scanner and the word that the I/O module
uses in the scanner image. Data is transferred on the network by logical rack and
logical group number. Refer to Remote I/O Scanner User Manual, publication
number 1747-6.6, for more information on the 1747-SN.
Using a PLC as a Master
If you are using a PLC processor as a master, each I/O module is addressed by
logical rack and logical group, regardless of what physical slot it is in. If using a
PLC processor as a master, attach octal labels.
