The Allen-Bradley 196273 is a ControlNet Adapter Board designed to seamlessly integrate into the Allen-Bradley 1395 series, providing a robust interface for PLC controllers and other ControlNet-capable components. It supports communication with discrete I/O devices and PLCs via a redundant ControlNet channel, ensuring reliable data transmission even in case of cable failure. Operating efficiently with a power supply of 24 Volts DC or 115 Volts AC, it functions optimally within an ambient temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius and can be stored between -40 and +85 degrees Celsius. The board's functionality is managed by an onboard U20 microprocessor, with configuration data securely stored in the EEPROM module. Its compatibility with all Allen-Bradley PLCs makes it a versatile choice for networked drive systems, while the adapter board is typically installed in Port B of the drive, but it can also be configured for Port A if required.
