1799-DSSCON

The 1799-DSSCON connector is an I/O mating connector by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation that is manufactured as part of the 1799 Embedded I/O module series. This module offers 10 to 30 Volts DC device power which can accommodate a variety of power supplies as well as multiple voltage levels from the network. It also features universal NEMA 1 plus inputs which are compatible with different sensors, such as NPN and PNP sensors. This unit also comes with output short-circuit protection to protect the outputs against miswiring that might occur accidentally. Other features of the 1799-DSSCON I/O mating connector include a hardware watchdog function to help put the outputs in a known state whenever the microprocessor in the system fails to prevent data loss and malfunctioning.

The 1799-DSSCON I/O mating connector is found adjacent to the I/O module which is next to the sensors and the actuators in the host system and this helps to lower the cost of wiring. This I/O module and other 1799 embedded I/O modules are compact in size so that they can easily be embedded into the machine directly. Additionally, they come with autobaud detection so that they can automatically match the system baud rate so that there is no crashing caused by an incorrect baud setting. It features selectable input filters to select the off-to-on and on-to-off delays as required for the application at hand. The Allen-Bradley 1799-DSSCON I/O mating connector supports change-of-state operation to improve the network throughput by reducing the network bandwidth usage.
