1786-TPS Allen Bradley

Description

Product Name:  1786-TPS Allen Braley Controller module

Product details:  

The Allen-Bradley 1786-TPS is a ControlNet Fiber Optic Transceiver Module designed to convert the ControlNet coaxial (copper) signal into an optical signal, allowing the network to extend over long distances using fiber optic cable. This is crucial for environments where noise immunity, electrical isolation, or extended distance is required, which standard coaxial cable cannot provide.

📋 Product Details and Parameters (Specifications)

🚀 Product Advantages (Key Features)

• Extended Distance: Allows ControlNet segments to span distances far beyond the limits of standard coaxial cable (typically thousands of meters, depending on the fiber cable).

• Superior Noise Immunity: Fiber optic cable is immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), making it ideal for electrically noisy industrial environments.

• Electrical Isolation: Provides complete electrical isolation between segments, eliminating ground loop issues and protecting equipment from potential damage due to voltage differences.

• Enhanced Security: Fiber cable is more difficult to tap or intercept than copper cable, offering a measure of physical network security.

• Redundancy Support: Often used in conjunction with a redundant ControlNet link to increase network reliability.

• Ease of Integration: Seamlessly plugs into a ControlNet chassis and works transparently within the ControlNet architecture.

⚠️ Important Considerations (Notes)

• Fiber Type and Connector: Ensure you use the correct type of fiber optic cable (multimode or single-mode) and that your connectors (ST, in this case) are clean and properly mated to prevent excessive signal loss.

• Distance Limitations: While fiber extends the distance significantly, there are still maximum fiber lengths based on the fiber type and system power budget. Consult the ControlNet documentation.

• Loss Budget: Pay attention to the network’s optical power budget. Excessive splices, sharp bends, or dirty connectors can reduce the signal to an unusable level.

• T-Tap Replacement: In a fiber environment, traditional coaxial “T-taps” are replaced by the fiber modules themselves, which convert and repeat the signal.

• Chassis and Power: Ensure the module is installed in a compatible 1786 chassis (or equivalent) that provides the necessary backplane power.

🏭 Product Applications

The 1786-TPS module is primarily used to solve distance, noise, and isolation challenges in ControlNet deployments.

• Large-Scale Plants: Connecting ControlNet segments between widely separated buildings or different floors within a large facility where copper cable limits are exceeded.

• High-Noise Environments: Used in areas near large motors, welders, variable frequency drives (VFDs), or other heavy electrical equipment where EMI/RFI is a major concern.

• Hazardous Locations: Providing intrinsic safety by separating the control room network from field devices in potentially hazardous zones using non-conductive fiber.

• Substation Automation/Utilities: Where high voltage and transient events necessitate the robust electrical isolation provided by fiber optics.

• Distributed Control Systems (DCS): Linking remote I/O chassis or control modules that are separated by significant physical distance.
