Description
Product Name: 1771-A4BK Allen Braley Central control module
Product details:
The 1771-A4BK is a 16-slot I/O chassis designed to house and power Allen-Bradley 1771 series I/O modules and PLC-5 processors. The “K” suffix indicates that this specific model features Conformal Coating, providing enhanced protection against harsh environmental conditions such as humidity, salt spray, and chemical contaminants.

Key Advantages
-
Environmental Resilience: The conformal coating makes it ideal for “dirty” industries (wastewater, oil & gas, or chemical processing) where airborne corrosives are present.
-
High Density: With 16 slots, it allows for a high concentration of I/O points in a single rack, saving panel space.
-
Reliability: Known for extreme durability; these units are designed to operate for decades in 24/7 industrial environments.
-
Legacy Support: Essential for maintaining and repairing existing PLC-5 systems without the immediate need for a full, costly system migration.
Important Considerations & Precautions
-
Power Loading: Ensure that the total current draw of all installed modules does not exceed the backplane’s 24A rating. Use a properly sized power supply.
-
Module Placement: When using 2-slot addressing, modules must be placed in specific pairs to ensure the controller recognizes the I/O correctly.
-
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Always use grounding straps when handling the chassis or inserting modules to avoid damaging the backplane circuitry.
-
Lifecycle Status: The 1771 series is in the “End of Life” or “Discontinued” phase. Sourcing new units can be difficult, and most available stock is refurbished or surplus.
Industrial Applications
The 1771-A4BK is commonly found in large-scale industrial operations that have not yet fully transitioned to Ethernet-based platforms:
-
Automotive Manufacturing: Managing assembly lines and heavy robotic integration.
-
Water & Wastewater Treatment: Controlling pumps, valves, and chemical dosing in humid environments.
-
Oil & Gas: Monitoring remote wellheads or refinery processes where atmospheric corrosion is a risk.
-
Steel & Mining: Handling heavy-duty digital and analog signals in high-vibration and dusty areas.
