Allen-Bradley 1560-PDP2 PROFIBUS to SCANport Communication Adapter

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 1560-PDP2 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

It supports up to 126 nodes with 3 repeaters, allowing integration of multiple SCANport devices like the 1336 Plus, 1397, 1305, and SMP3 drives. The PROFIBUS DP slave mode with SPC3 chipset ensures reliable data transfer, reducing downtime in high-speed production lines.

Installation and Setup Guidance

Mount the 1560-PDP2 using the DIN Rail mounting clip for secure placement in control panels. Configure the slave address via DIP switches ranging from 1 to 63. The adapter supports RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 female 9-pin D-shell connectors for flexible wiring. Ensure the operating temperature stays between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius and protect the open enclosure from water sprays. Three parity setups—none, odd, and even—are available to match network requirements.

Maintenance and Reliability

Periodically inspect the red and green status LED indicators to verify PROFIBUS and SCANport communication status. Keep the enclosure free from moisture and dust to maintain performance. The adapter consumes minimal power and requires no routine calibration, but regular visual checks can prevent unexpected failures.

Reliable PROFIBUS to SCANport Communication

Industrial automation networks demand robust and high-speed communication between drives and controllers. The Allen-Bradley 1560-PDP2 adapter bridges PROFIBUS DP networks with SCANport devices, enabling seamless data exchange for critical processes. This component is engineered for applications requiring up to 32 parameter values and a maximum baud rate of 12 M, making it suitable for complex drive systems.

Compatibility and Integration

The 1560-PDP2 is fully compatible with Allen-Bradley SCANport devices and PROFIBUS DP networks. It supports up to 32 parameter values for command, control, and reference information via a pre-assigned map. This integration simplifies programming and reduces configuration time in multi-drive systems.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice

When selecting a communication adapter, verify that your network requires PROFIBUS DP slave mode and supports up to 126 nodes. The 1560-PDP2 is a reliable choice for existing Allen-Bradley drive systems. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
