PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1746-A13 is a 13-slot SLC 500 chassis designed for modular hardware configurations. It houses modular processors and various input and output modules within an industrial control architecture. The chassis supports a backplane current capacity of 10 A at 5.1 VDC. It also provides up to 2.88 A at 24 VDC. Eight mounting tabs ensure steady mechanical fixation when securing the unit in panel-mounted configurations.
This chassis accommodates multi-chassis architectures through vertical interconnection with another 1746-A13 chassis unit. Interconnecting requires a 1746-C9 cable with a maximum vertical spacing of 6 inches. The unit operates in ambient industrial temperatures ranging from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. Storage ratings span from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius with non-condensing relative humidity between 5% and 95%.
