Overview Manuals Applications Programming Firmware & Updates Performance & Efficiency

Features:

  • Exchanges control and status data among AutoMax/DCS 5000 racks.
  • Uses a broadcast master/slave protocol across DCS-NET drops.
  • Maintains a 4K-word dual-port image of the latest network data.
The module links multiple AutoMax/DCS 5000 racks into a distributed control network so each rack can publish and receive shared control or status information.

A master drop initiates each transaction. Messages are broadcast to all network modules, and the encoded drop address determines which slave must respond; that response is also visible to every drop.

Set the physical or virtual drop definition, confirm master/slave planning, termination and cable type, and verify that every rack contains the required processor, power supply and network module before enabling traffic.

Availability is reviewed against the exact 57C404B order identity and requested supply condition; manufacturer lifecycle status: Discontinued / Obsolete by OEM.
Verified resources for Reliance Electric 57C404B:Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • The onboard processor updates a 4K-word dual-port memory image containing the latest network data. Rack processors can read or write that image across the backplane without managing the physical transmission timing directly.
  • Coaxial installations use a multidrop bus. Fiber-optic media may be selected where galvanic isolation and greater noise immunity are required, subject to the network hardware and distance rules.
  • Supports coaxial multidrop or suitably configured fiber-optic media.
  • Exchanges control and status data between distributed controller racks.
  • Provides 4K words of dual-port network memory.
  • Operates on the AutoMax or DCS 5000 DCS-NET architecture.
  • Supports up to 55 software-configured virtual network drops.
  • Uses master/slave communication with broadcast transmission.
  • Works with coaxial or fiber media using the proper interface hardware.
  • Supports up to 51 physical drops, depending on media and network length.
  • Draws power from +5 V, +12 V, and -12 V system rails.
  • Shares control and status data across multiple AutoMax or DCS racks.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
How does Reliance Electric 57C404B coordinate data across AutoMax racks?
The module links multiple AutoMax/DCS 5000 racks into a distributed control network so each rack can publish and receive shared control or status information.
Which shared control and status data uses Reliance Electric 57C404B?
The manufacturer data specifies Function as Control and status data exchange between racks; the installed arrangement must match that exact value.
How does master-drop communication work through Reliance Electric 57C404B?
A master drop initiates each transaction. Messages are broadcast to all network modules, and the encoded drop address determines which slave must respond; that response is also visible to every drop.
What topology settings must be verified for Reliance Electric 57C404B?
Set the physical or virtual drop definition, confirm master/slave planning, termination and cable type, and verify that every rack contains the required processor, power supply and network module before enabling traffic.
What supply restriction follows the obsolete Reliance Electric 57C404B status?
The page records Discontinued / Obsolete by OEM. Apter Power reviews the exact order identity and condition without presenting this as an OEM delivery promise.
Which DCS-NET records belong with a Reliance Electric 57C404B request?
