1779-KP2

The 1779-KP2 module is a type of communication interface module that is designed and made by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. The module is part of the Series B and Bulletin 1779 product line and it is made according to industrial standards and regulations. The module is intended for use on the Data Highway II network. The 1779-KP2 module is a communication link between the network and the PLC-2 controller. The PLC-2 series offers variety of different controller components that operate on the highest level. The 1779-KP2 communication interface module has an operating voltage of 115 to 230 Volts AC and a current rating of 1.5 Amps. The link has a transfer rate of 1 megabit per second and the module has an input frequency of 50 to 60 Hertz.

The 1779-KP2 module is UL-listed and certified for usa in industrial environments where the installation of highly reliable components is obligatory. The module provides support for a redundant cabling option which allows the users to expand its capabilities. It is important to note that the redundant cabling capability requires the inclusion of this option for all the interface modules on the same specified network. The redundant cabling option allows for the use of a second trunk-line cable between the modules. The users can send signals through both cables by using a Data Highway II network. The typical Data Highway II cable system is constructed from controllers and a communication interface module like the 1779-KP2 module and computers. The 1779-KP2 module operates through a network that communicates with computers, robots, color graphic terminals, dumb terminal, CNC machines, and motion controllers.
