Description
Product Name: 1771-A3BK Allen Braley Programmable controller
Product details:
The 1771-A3BK is a 12-slot chassis designed for backpanel mounting in industrial enclosures. The “K” suffix typically denotes a conformal coating, which provides an extra layer of protection against moisture, dust, and chemical contaminants, making it ideal for harsh environments. It facilitates communication between the processor and the I/O modules via a high-speed backplane.

| Power Supply | Requires external 1771 power module (e.g., 1771-P4, 1771-P7) |
| Operational Temp | 0 to 60 °C (32 to 140 °F) |
| Coating | Conformal Coated (K-version) |
| Dimensions | Approximately 19 x 12.4 x 7.6 inches |
Key Advantages
-
Durability: Built to withstand high-vibration and high-temperature industrial settings.
-
Environmental Protection: The conformal coating allows the unit to operate reliably in corrosive or humid atmospheres where standard boards might fail.
-
Scalability: With 12 slots, it offers a high density of I/O points in a single footprint, reducing the need for multiple smaller chassis.
-
Legacy Reliability: The 1771 platform is world-renowned for its “bulletproof” reliability and long lifecycle in heavy industry.
Important Considerations & Precautions
-
Power Requirements: The chassis does not have a built-in power supply. You must ensure the chosen power supply module can handle the total current draw of all installed modules.
-
Addressing Modes: Ensure the backplane DIP switches are correctly set for 2-slot, 1-slot, or 1/2-slot addressing to match your PLC program configuration.
-
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Always wear a grounding strap when handling the backplane or inserting modules to prevent circuit damage.
-
Modernization: As the 1771 series is now in “End of Life” (EOL) or “Discontinued” status by Rockwell Automation, users should consider keeping spare parts on hand or planning a migration to ControlLogix (1756).
Product Applications
The 1771-A3BK is commonly found in heavy-duty sectors including:
-
Oil and Gas: Monitoring remote pipelines and refinery processes.
-
Steel Mills: Controlling high-heat blast furnaces and rolling mills.
-
Automotive: Managing large-scale assembly line logic and robotics coordination.
-
Water Treatment: Supervising pumps, filtration systems, and chemical dosing.
