The Allen-Bradley 1784-KTCX15 is an open-style ControlNet communication card for legacy PC-based control systems. It connects desktop computers to 5 Mbit/s ControlNet networks.

Interface Bus and Host Memory Requirements

The card inserts into a 16-bit ISA or 32-bit EISA expansion slot on standard personal or industrial computers. It uses an internal dual-port interface that requires 16 KB of host memory address space for real-time buffer management. On-board DIP switches configure the base memory address and interrupt settings to prevent resource conflicts with host hardware.

Physical Connectors and Redundancy

Network connections run through dual BNC connectors, enabling redundant trunk media links to maintain network operation if one cable fails. It also includes an RJ-45 Network Access Port (NAP) for programming terminal connections. The card operates with software tools like RSLinx Classic and RSNetWorx to process scheduled and unscheduled ControlNet messaging.
