Allen-Bradley 1785-KA Highway Plus Interface Module

Description

The Allen-Bradley 1785-KA Highway Plus Interface Module is a compact communication interface module designed for industrial control systems. Classified as a Data Highway Plus (DH+) communication interface module, it supports both DH+ and RS-232 communication protocols, enabling seamless integration with a wide range of industrial systems. Equipped with high-speed data transmission capabilities, it can rapidly process large volumes of data exchange, making it ideal for applications requiring real-time monitoring and fast response.

This module is primarily used in PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems and industrial control networks, providing core functions including data exchange, remote programming, and system monitoring. Its key technical specifications include a 24V DC supply voltage, maximum operating current of 6A, and fixed rated current of 6A, with an IP20 protection rating suitable for indoor industrial environments. Measuring 12.5mm wide, 98.5mm high, and 80mm deep, it has a compact footprint, and weighs approximately 0.13 lb. It features push-in termination with two wire gauge options: PT10 AWG for 20 to 8 AWG (0.5 to 10 square meters) and PT2.5 AWG for 24 to 14 AWG (0.14 to 2.5 square meters), and has 1 communication channel with a pollution level rating of 2.
