AB 1784-PKTX/B Card

Core Performance & Industrial Application

The Allen-Bradley 1784-PKTX/B (Series B) universal PCI network interface card connects a PC to PLC-5 / SLC processors on Data Highway Plus or DH-485 networks, with remote I/O scanner capability via SoftLogix-5 or embedded control.

Single channel: CH1A (3-pin Phoenix) for DH+ and Remote I/O; CH1C (6-pin Phoenix) for DH-485; per-channel status LED; dual-port memory with RSLinx.

DH+ rates 57.6/115.2/230.4 kbit/s (up to 10,000 ft at 57.6K); DH-485 1.2-19.2 kbit/s (up to 4,000 ft); RIO scanner link.

It serves as legacy programming/monitoring network adapter in an industrial PC as spare card.
