Overview where the SLC processor normally resides. The 1747-ASB module is an adapter, or slave, on the RIO link, and the master of the remote chassis and remote expansion chassis it is installed in. Remote expansion chassis are optional. It acts as a gateway between the scanner and the I/O modules residing in the remote chassis and remote expansion chassis.
Overview To better understand the use of the 1747-ASB module, you should have an understanding of the RIO link. The RIO link is an Allen-Bradley communications system supporting high-speed transfer of control information. An RIO link consists of a single master device and one or more slave devices.

Crossing Logical Rack Boundaries Adapter image size is expressed in an even number of groups. For example, the 1747-ASB module image can be any size between 2 logical groups and 32 logical groups (4 logical racks), in 2 logical group increments.
Due to SLC and PLC addressing differences, when IMPORTANT the 1747-ASB module is used with an SLC processor, the image bit numbers are 0 to 7, 8 to 15 decimal. When the 1747-ASB module is used with a PLC processor, the image bit numbers are 0 to 7, 10 to 17 octal.
I/O modules. You may then want to reassign certain adapters so their images do not cross logical rack boundaries, allowing the scanner to update their images in one RIO discrete transfer. The 1747-ASB module always functions as one IMPORTANT adapter on the RIO link, even though it may contain more than one logical device.
Adapter 2 requires two RIO discrete transfers to update its image. Adapter 3 requires three RIO discrete transfers to update its image. Scanner Input or Output Image 1747-ASB Module to scanner Bit Number (Octal) Bit Number (Decimal)
The 1747-ASB module is compatible with all Allen-Bradley scanners. Scanners that do not support RIO block transfers do not work with all of the I/O modules supported by the 1747-ASB module. For example, the Catalog Number 1747-SN Series A, RIO Scanner does not work with a Catalog Number 1746-BAS, BASIC module because the scanner does not support RIO block transfer.
(2) Extended node capability. (3) Series A scanner does not have block transfer. Compatible RIO Adapters The 1747-ASB module can physically reside on the RIO link with any other adapter. The following table lists the adapters available for use with an RIO link.

• 2-slot, 1-slot, and 1/2-slot addressing • how I/O module images are mapped The 1747-ASB module controls 1 remote chassis and up to 2 remote expansion chassis with a maximum of 30 slots. Currently, there are four different types of chassis available.
The remote chassis and remote expansion chassis slots are numbered from 0 to 30. The 1747-ASB module must reside in slot 0. Slots numbered 31 and above cannot be used.
Addressing Slot addressing refers to how each chassis slot is assigned a specific amount of the 1747-ASB module image. The amount depends on which type of slot addressing you choose; 2-slot, 1-slot, and 1/2-slot addressing is available, as shown below:...
Page 41
Addressing 2-Slot Addressing When the 1747-ASB module is configured for 2-slot addressing, the processor addresses two chassis slots as one logical group. Each slot, beginning with slot 1, is sequentially assigned one byte (8 bits) of the 1747-ASB module's input and output image. Each terminal on a discrete I/O module installed in a slot is assigned a bit within the byte, beginning with the least significant bit.
If block transfer mode is selected, all specialty I/O modules are block transfer mapped regardless of their image size. The 1747-ASB module can block transfer map a maximum of eight words. Publication 1747-UM006B-EN-P - June 2003...
Slot 18 Slot 18 Slot Pair 9 If images overlap, a 1747-ASB module error occurs. For example, if 16 point input modules are installed in slots 1 and 2, their input images overlap and a 1747-ASB module error occurs. Publication 1747-UM006B-EN-P - June 2003...
I/O modules whose image size is less than or equal to one word but more than one byte. Slot 1 is assigned to the first logical group of the 1747-ASB Slot 1 module’s image, beginning with bit 0 (the LSB).

Input modules must be paired with output modules so their input or output images, refer to the complementary I/O description, found on page 4–5. images do not overlap. 1747-ASB Input Image 1747-ASB Output Image 1747-ASB Input Image 1747-ASB Output Image...
Addressing 3-13 How I/O Module Images The method of transferring an I/O module's image to the 1747-ASB module's image is referred to as image mapping, or mapping. An I/O Are Mapped image can be discretely mapped or block transfer mapped. How the module's image is mapped depends on the type of module you are using (discrete or specialty I/O).
When block transfer mode is selected, all specialty modules that are block transfer mapped use one byte in the 1747-ASB module's input and output image. These bytes reside in the least significant byte of the 1747-ASB image reserved for the module's slot.
RIO block transfers for a logical device, at least four RIO scans are required to complete these RIO block transfers. The 1747-ASB module can block transfer up to a maximum of 8 words per block transfer. 1747-ASB module exchanges data with the speciality I/O module via the backplane.
Page 53
For example, if the specialty I/O module such as the 1746-NIO4I and -NIO4V requires two words of input and output image, and the 1747-ASB module is configured for 1-slot addressing, the specialty I/O module is discretely mapped . However, if four words of input or output image are required, the specialty I/O module such as the 1746-NI4, -NO4V, -NO4I, and -HS, are block transfer mapped.

Sometimes, logical slots and groups are not mapped due to chassis size and selected image size because: Size Considerations • There is not enough 1747-ASB module image to map all of the available slots. • The 1747-ASB image size exceeds requirements for available slots.
One Slot of Pair is Present, and 1747-ASB Module Image is Available for Both Slots When one slot of a pair is present and 1747-ASB module image is available for both slots, the single slot can use the extra image space.
This condition only occurs in 1/2-slot addressing. When both slots of a pair are available but there is only enough 1747-ASB module image space available for one slot, the lower numbered slot uses the available image space. If a four word specialty module (i.e., 1746-NI4) is installed in this slot and the...

1. Cycle the power one last time in save mode (SW3-8 ON). 2. Remove power from the system. 3. Remove the 1747-ASB module and set SW3-8 to the OFF position (check mode). 4. Replace the 1747-ASB module in slot 0.
After successfully completing a powerup and initialization sequence, the 1747-ASB module waits to receive RIO link communications from the scanner for all of its logical devices. Once the 1747-ASB module receives RIO link communication for all of its logical devices, it begins normal operation.
Therefore, if one of the 1747-ASB module's logical devices is receiving reset adapter decide commands and another is inhibited, the 1747-ASB module treats all of its logical devices under its control as if they too were inhibited. Once the inhibit condition is cleared, the module treats all of its logical devices as if they were receiving reset adapter decide commands.
• The enabled logical devices communicate on the RIO link. • The 1747-ASB module does not send output data to any of its output modules, even those that are enabled. • The 1747-ASB module does not process any RIO block transfer writes.
