Publication 1747-5.33
Overview
The Remote I/O (RIO) Scanner, 1747-SN, enables communication between an
SLC™ processor and remotely located 1746 I/O chassis and other RIO-
compatible Allen-Bradley operator interface and control devices. The 1747-SN
scanner communicates with remote devices using the A-B Remote I/O link. The
RIO link consists of a single master (scanner) and multiple slaves (adapters).
Communication between devices occurs over twisted-pair cable with the devices
daisy-chained together. Maximum distance for remote communication is
3,048 m (10,000 ft.). The scanner is compatible with any standard RIO adapter
device.
The SLC processor transfers a maximum of 4 logical racks (32 input and 32
output image words) of discrete remote I/O data into the SLC input and output
image files. You can adjust the size of the scanner image files during
configuration of your SLC system so that the scanner only transfers the discrete
I/O data required by your application program. The 1747-SN Series B or later
RIO Scanner can be configured to transfer up to 64 words of data to a remote
device via block transfer. Refer to publication 1747-6.6, Remote I/O Scanner
User Manual, for information on configuration, programming, and block
transfers.
The SLC 500™ processor (SLC 5/02™ or higher) supports multiple scanners in
its local I/O chassis. The maximum number is dependent on the following:
• backplane power requirements (power supply dependent)
• SLC 500 processor I/O data table limit (4,096 input and output bits)
• processor memory to support the application (SLC processor dependent)

Status LEDs
The scanner has two LEDs, FAULT and COMM, which indicate its operating
status.
FAULT LED - indicates the scanner’s overall status. The red FAULT LED
is off whenever the scanner is configured and operating properly.
COMM LED - allows you to monitor communication with all configured
devices. This LED is green once the scanner is in the Run mode. It is red if
a hardware fault is detected. The COMM LED status information is valid
only when the FAULT LED is off.
The table below explains the scanner and communication status as indicated by
the FAULT and COMM LEDs.

Baud Rate DIP Switch
The figure below shows the location of the DIP switch and the DIP switch
settings for the supported baud rates.
Required Tools and Equipment
Have the following tools and equipment ready:
• medium blade screwdriver
• termination kit (the package, containing resistors and a ring lug, which was
included with the scanner)
• approximately 38 cm (15 inches) of #20 AWG wire for grounding the drain
shield to the SLC chassis (for Series A retrofits)
• adequate length of RIO communication cable (Belden™ 9463) for your
specific application
Important: For proper system operation, the baud rate of all devices
on the RIO link must be the same.

Installation
Make sure you have set the DIP switch properly before installing the scanner.
Insertion
1. Disconnect power.
2. Align the full-sized circuit board with the chassis card guides. The first slot
(slot 0) of the first rack is reserved for the SLC 500 processor.
3. Slide the module into the chassis until the top and bottom latches catch.
4. Attach the RIO link cable to the connector on the front of the module,
behind the door. Ground the cable’s shield wire to a chassis mounting
bracket. Refer to the RIO link wiring illustration on page 10.
!ATTENTION: Disconnect system power before
attempting to install, remove, or wire the module.
Important: Before installation, make sure that your modular SLC
power supply has adequate reserve current capacity. The
scanner requires 600 mA at 5V dc.

5. Insert the cable tie in the slots.
6. Route the cable down and away from module, securing it with the cable tie.
7. Cover all unused slots with the Card Slot Filler, Catalog Number 1746-N2.
Removal
1. Disconnect power.
2. Remove all cabling.
3. Press the releases at the top and bottom of the module and slide the module
out of the chassis slot.
4. Cover all unused slots with the Card Slot Filler, Catalog Number 1746-N2.
RIO Link Wiring
The scanner is connected to other devices on the RIO link in a daisy chain (serial)
configuration. There are no restrictions governing the space between each
device, provided the maximum cable distance (Belden™ 9463) is not
exceeded.A 1/2 watt terminating resistor (included with the module) must be
attached across line 1 and line 2 of the connectors at each end (scanner and last
physical device) of the RIO link. The size of the resistor depends on the baud
rate and extended node capability, as shown in the table below.
Note: To use extended node, all devices on the RIO link must support it. Refer
to each device’s user manual.

For New Installations
To ensure a proper earth ground of the cable shield, follow these steps:
1. While the RIO link connector is plugged into the scanner and lines 1 and 2
are connected, strip the cable back to expose enough shield drain wire to
reach a chassis mounting bracket.
2. Attach the ring terminal lug (supplied) to the end of the shield drain wire.
3. Attach the ring terminal lug to the SLC chassis mounting bracket. Note that
for new installations the middle (shield) terminal is not used when
connecting to the scanner.
Important: The RIO cable shield must be grounded at the scanner
end only.

For Series A Scanner Retrofits
Refer to the illustration on page 10. To eliminate the need to strip the cable back,
follow these steps:
1. Attach the shield wire and a short piece of #20 AWG wire (dotted line) to
the shield lug of the RIO link connector.
2. Attach the other end of the #20 AWG wire to the ring terminal lug.
3. Attach the ring terminal lug to a chassis mounting bracket.
Specifications
Important: The RIO cable shield must be grounded at the scanner
end only. Ensure that the unshielded portion of the link
communication wire (blue and clear) is as short as
possible.
