Brand: Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation
Series: ControlLogix
Part Number: Number: 1756-CMS1B1
Product type: Computing module
Rated voltage: 5.1 volts DC
The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 1756-CMS1B1 module is a computing module. It is designed and manufactured as part of the ControlLogix module family. The ports of the 1756-CMS1B1 compute module include a USB port, a special integrated DisplayPort, and two GbE ports. DisplayPort allows the 1756-CMS1B1 compute module to be connected to a high-definition display, and the USB port is a USB 3.0 device port for connecting peripheral operating system devices. One of the main functions of the 1756-CMS1B1 compute module is the ability to communicate directly with the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 5570 controller or the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 5580 controller through the system backplane. Operators can program custom applications in the operating system using apis or application programming interfaces.
The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 1756-CMS1B1 computing module of the ControlLogix series is safe for use in industrial environments with contamination level 2. In addition, it can only be used in indoor environments. The 1756-CMS1B1 compute module is provided as an open device without a housing, but should be installed in a housing to protect it from dust, debris, liquids and flames. The exact level of protection that the chassis must provide will be determined by the environment and application using the 1756-CMS1B1 compute module. The 1756-CMS1B1 compute module measures 5.72 x 1.36 x 5.50 inches. The main features of the compute module include a reset button, a 4-character scrolling display, and a user-programmable status indicator. It also uses batteries to back up its real-time clock, and will eventually need to replace the original battery that came with it.
