Allen-Bradley 1784-PKTX | PCI Bus Communication Card

Overview:

The Allen-Bradley 1784-PKTX is a high-performance PCI bus communication card, designed for industrial automation and network connectivity. It supports Data Highway Plus (DH+), DH-485, and Remote I/O (RIO) communication, making it an essential component for PLC and SCADA system integration.

Equipped with two independent communication channels, the 1784-PKTX provides flexible connectivity:

• CH 1A (3-pin Phoenix) – Supports DH+ and Remote I/O
• CH 1C (6-pin Phoenix) – Supports DH-485

This PCI card enables reliable industrial networking and seamless integration with RSLinx, making it ideal for legacy system upgrades and real-time data exchange.

Key Features:

• Supports DH+, DH-485, and Remote I/O (RIO) – Flexible communication capabilities
• Dual Communication Channels:
  • CH 1A (3-pin Phoenix) – Runs DH+ and RIO
  • CH 1C (6-pin Phoenix) – Runs DH-485
• PCI Bus Interface (PCI 2.3 Compliant) – Ensures compatibility with modern industrial computers
• Diagnostic LEDs for Each Channel – Provides real-time status monitoring
• Supports Up to 4 Modules per System – Configurable via jumper settings
• Compatible with RSLinx PKTx Driver – Simplifies setup and network management
