Converting SLC500 to CompactLogix: Cable Compatibility for 1746-HSCE and 5069-HSC2XOB4 Modules

Question:

Hello, I'm looking for information on whether there is a conversion cable similar to the 1492-CM1746-M01, which can be used to connect a 1746-HSCE module to a 5069-HSC2XOB4 module. Just like the cable for converting from a 1746-IB16 to a 5069-IB16, I'm curious if a similar solution exists for these two modules.

Easily download the Integrated Architecture Builder (IAB) from Rockwell to preconfigure your entire system, including the necessary "special" cables. This tool will also prevent errors when setting up the 5069 system, particularly with Mod Power and SA Power. Take advantage of IAB for seamless system integration and optimal performance.

If you have the time, you can undertake this task independently. The diagram provided illustrates the connection between 1492-IFMXXXXX and 1746-IB16. Your objective is to identify a similar connection between 5069-IB16 and 1492-IFMXXXXX, and then convert it from SLC to Compact Logix. The diagram can be found at: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/td/1492-td008_-en-p.pdf. Repeat the process for the second connection.

Thank you for providing the information. However, what I am searching for is a fixed converting cable from Rockwell. I came across an offer labeled as "plug and play" which includes a complete system with a Rockwell converting cable, eliminating the need for any wiring. I am specifically looking for this cable. If it does not exist, the offer may not be satisfactory.

From what I understand, there's no direct "conversion cable" like the 1492-CM1746-M01 available specifically for a 1746-HSCE to a 5069-HSC2XOB4. However, you could potentially utilize terminal blocks or make a custom wiring harness specifically for this purpose. It's key to ensure that all signals and power requirements between the two modules are correctly matched. Consulting a qualified industrial electrician or broadening your search to include adapter solutions could prove beneficial here.

While I'm not certain of a specific conversion cable identical to the 1492-CM1746-M01 for the modules you mentioned, it's crucial to note that most of these modules have different terminals and require specific connectors. My recommendation is to check with manufacturers or distributors directly for detailed information as they usually offer compatibility guides for their products. Alternatively, consider professional consultation at this juncture to ensure your desired integration is feasible and safe.

Hey there! Unfortunately, as of my last update, there isn't a direct conversion cable available like the one for the 1746-IB16 to the 5069-IB16. The 1492-CM1746-M01 is quite specific, and while Rockwell provides great support for legacy transitions, for the 1746-HSCE to 5069-HSC2XOB4, you might need to look into using an intermediary interface or adapting the setup with additional hardware. It might be worth reaching out to Rockwell directly or checking their forums for any recent developments or custom solutions some users might have implemented. Good luck with your project!
