Allen-Bradley 1734-485ASC Point I/O RS-485/RS-422 ASCII Interface, Series C

The Allen-Bradley 1734-485ASC is a Point I/O RS-485/RS-422 ASCII Interface module, specifically the Series C version. It is designed to provide RS-485 and RS-422 communication capabilities for ASCII devices in an industrial control system. Here's some information about this module:

1. Manufacturer: Allen-Bradley (a brand of Rockwell Automation)
2. Model: 1734-485ASC
3. Module Type: RS-485/RS-422 ASCII Interface
4. Series: The "Series C" designation indicates the specific version or revision of the module. It helps identify any updates or improvements made to the module since its initial release.
5. Communication Protocol: The module supports the RS-485 and RS-422 communication protocols, which are standard protocols used for serial communication between devices.
6. ASCII Interface: The 1734-485ASC module is specifically designed for ASCII devices. It allows the Point I/O system to communicate with devices that use the ASCII protocol, such as barcode readers, scales, and other ASCII-based equipment.
7. Compatibility: The module is part of the Allen-Bradley Point I/O system, which is a distributed I/O solution. It can be used with other Point I/O modules and connected to a compatible Allen-Bradley programmable logic controller (PLC) or other control devices.
8. Configuration: The module can be configured using the Allen-Bradley RSLogix 5000 software, which is the programming environment for Allen-Bradley PLCs. You can set up the module's parameters, such as baud rate, parity, and data format, to match the requirements of the connected ASCII devices.
9. Data Exchange: The 1734-485ASC module enables data exchange between the Point I/O system and ASCII devices. It can send and receive data in ASCII format, allowing for seamless integration of ASCII-based equipment into the industrial control system.
10. RS-485/RS-422 Interface: The module provides RS-485 and RS-422 communication interfaces, which are commonly used for longer-distance serial communication and in industrial environments that require noise immunity and multi-drop communication.
