The Allen-Bradley 1756-RM is a ControlLogix Redundancy module. This module may only be used with the ControlLogix platform to enable controller redundancy. It manages connectivity of Two (2) identical controllers, installed in an identical rack of the same components and configuration. It provides redundancy system monitoring as well as module health via the embedded LED display such as PRI, COM and OK.

The 1756-RM has been released as Series A and B. Series is basically an enhancement of the previous series however, a 1756-RM with different series can co-exist in one redundant configuration. It is highly recommended to have the same series installed to achieve maximum operability of the redundancy setup. When used with the same series of redundancy module, speed of 100 Mbps is achieved.

The 1756-RM comes with One (1) single mode LC fiber optic connector. It requires use of the 1756-RMCx redundancy cable to synchronize the operation of the redundant controller pair. This controller may be configured using the redundancy configuration tool for setting up the redundancy and Studio 5000 Logix designer for configuring the overall parameters of the module.

The 1756-RM Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Redundancy module may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The Allen-Bradley 1756-RM has an embedded LED display. The LED display on the Allen-Bradley 1756-RM includes PRI, COM, and OK indicators. These indicators on the Allen-Bradley 1756-RM provide redundancy system monitoring and module health monitoring. The Allen-Bradley 1756-RM has an open enclosure type. The Allen-Bradley 1756-RM has IEC temperature code T4.
 
The Allen-Bradley 1756-RM draws 4 mA at 1.2 VDC, 1.2 A at 5.1 VDC, and 120 mA at 24 VDC. The power dissipation of the Allen-Bradley 1756-RM is 9 watts. The thermal dissipation of the Allen-Bradley 1756-RM is 31 BTU per hour. The operating temperature range of the Allen-Bradley 1756-RM is 0 to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit). The storage temperature range of the Allen-Bradley 1756-RM is -40 to 85 degrees Celsius (-40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit).

Mount the Modules: Align the circuit board of the 1756-RM module with the top and bottom chassis plastic card guides. Slide the module firmly backward until it snaps flush against the backplane connector locking tabs.
Verify Module Coexistence: Remember that you cannot mix legacy 1756-RM/A or B modules with newer 1756-RM2 modules within the same chassis pair.
Install SFP Transceivers (For RM2/RM3): Ensure each Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) fiber-optic transceiver matches the type used on the other end of the cable link.

Technical notes

The 1756-RM redundancy module by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation is available through the ControlLogix product series and it is a chassis-based component used across different industries. The unit features a current draw of 4 milliAmps at 1.2 Volts DC, 1.2 Amps at 5.1 Volts DC, and 120 milliAmps at 24 Volts DC. The unit weights only 0.29 kilograms or 0.64 pounds.

FAQs

  • Can the 1756-RM module be replaced with newer models?

    +
    Yes, the 1756-RM has been succeeded by the 1756-RM2 and 1756-RM3 modules. When migrating from an older 1756-RM/B module to a 1756-RM2, a firmware upgrade via the Redundancy Module Configuration Tool (RMCT) is required. You cannot mix older 1756-RM series modules with RM2 or RM3 models in the same synchronized system.
  • What fiber-optic cables are compatible with the module?

    +
    The module requires dedicated 1756-RMCx fiber-optic cables for cross-loading data between the primary and secondary chassis. Compatible versions include the 1756-RMC1 (1 m), 1756-RMC3 (3 m), and 1756-RMC10 (10 m).
  • What cables connect two 1756-RM modules?

    +
    They connect via dedicated fiber-optic communication cables. Supported options include the 1756-RMC1 (1 meter), 1756-RMC3 (3 meters), and 1756-RMC10 (10 meters).
  • What software configurations modify advanced parameters?

    +
    Advanced settings require the Redundancy Module Configuration Tool (RMCT). The tool can be accessed directly through software like RSLinx by right-clicking the module
