Allen-Bradley PLC-5/30 Processor 1785-L30B Controller Module
The Allen-Bradley 1785-L30B is a 32K-word PLC-5/30 controller module designed for high-density automation. It supports 1024 I/O points and features dual DH+/Remote I/O ports alongside a multi-protocol serial interface, ensuring reliable distributed control for complex industrial applications.
Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 1785-L30B serves as a central processing powerhouse within the PLC-5 architecture, specifically engineered to manage complex industrial sequences with high-speed efficiency. This controller executes sophisticated ladder logic and facilitates extensive data handling for medium-to-large scale manufacturing environments. By utilizing a robust 32K-word SRAM memory capacity, the processor ensures rapid execution of control instructions while maintaining stability across diverse automated workflows.
Furthermore, this module excels in connectivity through its integrated communication suite. It features two universal ports that users can configure for either Data Highway Plus (DH+) or Remote I/O (RIO) networking. This flexibility allows the processor to supervise up to 28 remote I/O racks and interface with a total of 1024 I/O points. In addition to these networking capabilities, the 1785-L30B incorporates a multi-standard serial port that supports RS-232, RS-422A, and RS-423 protocols, thereby enabling seamless integration with peripheral hardware such as HMIs, bar code scanners, and programming terminals.
To safeguard operational continuity, the unit employs a specialized lithium battery backup system. This hardware configuration prevents the loss of volatile user data during facility power cycles, sustaining memory integrity for approximately 84 days. Moreover, the hardware interface prioritizes manual control through a three-position keyswitch, which allows technicians to secure the system in Run, Program, or Remote modes. Consequently, this processor remains a cornerstone for facilities requiring a reliable, distributed control architecture that bridges legacy reliability with professional-grade technical performance.
