About 1794-ASB

The 1794-ASB is an Allen-Bradley Remote I/O communication Adapter module. This product belongs to the Flex I/O product family of distributed I/O modules.

The 1794-ASB has One (1) Remote I/O interface. This RIO protocol is a legacy protocol, utilizing Belden 9463 or equivalent cables for connecting the device to the RIO scanner. This module is compatible for use with Allen-Bradley Legacy controllers such as PLC2, PLC3 and PLC5 controllers as well as SLC500 automation platforms. It may also be used modern Logix controller platforms as well as with 3rd party devices and encompass partner modules.

The 1794-ASB sends and receives data to and from the controller, via Block Transfer Read (BTR) and Block Transfer Write (BTW) instructions. Using these instructions, packets of data may be sent simultaneously or sequentially, depending of the required speed.

The 1794-ASB supports communication rate of 57.6Kbps, 115.2Kbps, and 230.4kbps. The module’s intended supply voltage range is 11VDC-31.2VDC, including 5% ac ripple while the nominal supply is 24VDC. It supports installation of up to Eight (8) Flex I/O modules, for successful implementation of distributed I/O architecture. This module has built-in status indicator such as Power LED, Adapter Active LED, Adapter Fault LED and Local Fault LED. This module is mounted to a standard DIN rail and has an open type enclosure which means the 1794-ASB requires installation inside an appropriate enclosure that protects the device from industrial element and contaminants.

Depending on the controller used, the 1794-ASB may be configured using RSLogix 5, RSLogix 500, RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 Design environment.

The maximum consumption of power is 450 mA from a constant 24 Volts DC power input. The maximum power dissipation is 4.6 Watts at 31.2 Volts DC and the thermal dissipation is 15.7 BTU/hour at 31.2 Volts DC.
The 1794-ASB’s dimensions are approximately 4x 2x 4 inches and weigh only 6 ounces. The Allen-Bradley 1794-ASB is an obsolete Adapter Module and is part of the FLEX I/O series. It connects FLEX I/O modules to I/O scanner ports via a communication network. It has a built-in power supply which converts 24VDC to 5 VDC for the backplane in order to power the FLEX I/O modules. It also functions with the Allen Bradley PLC 3 and 5 series. Additionally, the 1794-ASB can recognize the safe state data for the FLEX Integral analog modules, and it is capable of using thirty-two point FLEX I/O units. The user must use a 1794-ASB Series D or later module when utilizing the FLEX Integral analog modules in the configuration of your setup. This unit can communicate with the 1747-SN via Remote I/O communications and RSLogix 500 software.

Troubleshooting for 1794-ASB

The 1794-ASB remote I/O adapter/power supply is a Flex I/O module that is used to communicate between connected SLC or PLC racks across an RIO Link.
The 1794-ASB communicates with PLC, SLC, and ControlLogix models, using baud rates of 57.6k bits/s, 115.2k bits/s or 230.4k bits/s

Note: Three conditions can cause the remote I/O adapter to produce a communication fault.

no remote I/O communication for more than 100ms
no command issued to this address over the remote I/O link within the last 255 link transactions
communication is lost when the Rack Fault Select is enabled

1794-ASB Troubleshooting

Check dip switch settings

Ensure connecting pins are straight and aligned properly

Check settings on devices communicating directly to the 1794-ASB
Make sure the Baud rate is set correctly on all devices
Check communications cable and resistors for damage
Be sure that Line 1, Shield, Line 2 are correctly placed on the devices being used
Use the reset button to reset the module and resume communications on both modules when a communication error occurs
Check publication for additional information and configuration settings

Testing 1794-ASB

In this example we configure our G-data to ¼ rack before downloading.

The following parts will be used :

1747-L553
1747-SN
1746-A7
1794-TB3
1794-OA8
Configure communications device
Connect RIO cable
Apply power

(This is with the ASD module on with no communications)

Download program to the 1747-L553
Active light will illuminate, letting us know we have communications

Turn on the outputs through the output table
