Allen-Bradley 1771-DA Series A ASCII I/O Communication Module
The Allen-Bradley 1771-DA Series A is an intelligent ASCII I/O communication module designed for the Allen-Bradley 1771 I/O platform and PLC-5 programmable controllers. The module provides bidirectional serial communications between the PLC processor and external ASCII devices including barcode readers, printers, operator terminals, scales, and serial instrumentation. Data is exchanged using block transfers, making the 1771-DA a versatile communications interface for legacy Allen-Bradley automation systems.
