Allen-Bradley 1747-ACN15 ControlNet I/O Adapter Module
The Allen-Bradley 1747-ACN15 is a rack-mountable ControlNet I/O adapter module designed for the SLC 500 system platform. It connects a remote 1746 I/O chassis to a ControlNet open network, enabling deterministic, high-speed data exchange between remote I/O modules and a central controller without requiring a local processor in the rack.
Network Connections and Interface
The module features a single-port BNC connector for primary ControlNet coaxial network media connections. Additionally, it includes a front-panel Network Access Port (NAP) using a shielded RJ45 8-pin connector, which allows maintenance personnel to connect programming terminals or diagnostic tools directly to the ControlNet network without disrupting main network wiring.
Chassis Installation and Communication
Engineered for direct installation into the leftmost slot of a standard 1746 I/O chassis, the adapter transfers I/O data and status logic over the backplane. It manages implicit data transfers for real-time I/O control alongside explicit messaging for configuration and diagnostics across the ControlNet architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the 1747-ACN15 differ from the 1747-ACNR15 model? A: The 1747-ACN15 features a single BNC port for non-redundant ControlNet media connections, whereas the 1747-ACNR15 provides dual BNC ports to support redundant ControlNet media channels.
Q: Can programming devices connect directly to the 1747-ACN15 chassis? A: Yes, temporary network connections and diagnostic access can be established using the front-panel NAP RJ45 port without interrupting the primary BNC network media connection.
