- Configures a compatible PLC-5 PROFIBUS coprocessor through the Local Station Manager utility
- Uses an RS-232 connection for bus parameters, diagnostics, events, and reset functions
- Requires the separate coprocessor hardware, cable, software media, and saved station configuration
1785-PFB identifies the Allen-Bradley PLC-5 PROFIBUS Local Station Manager software.
The utility communicates with a compatible PLC-5 PROFIBUS coprocessor and provides configuration, status, event, and address-conversion functions.
Before service, preserve the installed software version, RS-232 setup, station addresses, bus parameters, event records, and identity of the separate coprocessor hardware.
Availability, condition, price, and shipping time for 1785-PFB are confirmed during quotation.
