Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Is the 1794-ASB adapter still new and genuine?
  A: Yes, we supply authentic, brand new Allen-Bradley modules, often as new old stock for legacy system support.
• Q: Which Allen-Bradley controllers work with this adapter?
  A: The 1794-ASB is compatible with legacy PLC-2/3/5 and SLC 500 controllers, as well as modern Logix platforms via adapters.
• Q: What is the maximum communication speed?
  A: This adapter supports a maximum data transfer rate of 230.4 Kilobits per second (Kbps).
• Q: Why is the series letter (A/B/C/D/E) important?
  A: For configurations using FLEX Integral analog modules, you must use Series D or later (e.g., 1794-ASBD) for proper safe state data recognition.
• Q: Does it need an external enclosure?
  A: Yes. The adapter has an IP20 open-type enclosure and must be installed inside a protective industrial cabinet.
• Q: What is your shipping policy for this item?
  A: In-stock items ship within 5 days via major carriers, backed by our 30-day return guarantee.
