Allen Bradley 1747-SDN Series A

The Allen Bradley 1747-SDN Series A is a DeviceNet scanner module for the SLC 500 platform. It installs in the local SLC chassis and acts as the communication bridge between SLC logic and DeviceNet field networks.

This module is commonly used when an SLC system must exchange cyclic I/O and status data with DeviceNet nodes such as distributed I/O blocks, motor starters, and intelligent drives.

For retrofit and expansion projects, the 1747-SDN helps keep legacy SLC controllers in service while adding newer DeviceNet-connected devices at the machine level.
