Product Overview
The A-B 1747-CP3is an RS-232 programming cable manufactured by Allen-Bradley (a brand of Rockwell Automation) for connecting computers to SLC 500 series programmable logic controllers (PLCs). This 3-meter (118-inch) cable enables communication between a computer’s serial port or USB interface (via adapters) and the RS-232 ports of SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, and SLC 5/05 processors. It serves as a critical tool for programming, configuration, and real-time monitoring within industrial automation systems. The 1747-CP3features a null-modem design with 9-pin D-sub connectors and internal jumpers to ensure correct signal routing. Compatible with Rockwell software like RSLogix 500 and RSLinx, it simplifies integration into existing automation networks. Its robust construction meets industrial EMC standards (e.g., EN 50081-2/EN 50082-2), providing reliable performance in electrically noisy environments. By facilitating seamless data exchange between engineering workstations and controllers, the 1747-CP3reduces downtime during system updates or troubleshooting .

Main Features and Advantages
The 1747-CP3cable offers plug-and-play connectivity for SLC 500 series PLCs, eliminating complex configuration steps. Its null-modem design automatically handles cross-wiring for transmit/receive lines, ensuring seamless communication without external adapters. The cable supports full-duplex data transfer at rates up to 115.2 kbps, enabling rapid program uploads/downloads. Durability is enhanced through shielded construction that resists electromagnetic interference (EMI), critical for maintaining signal integrity in industrial settings. For modern computers lacking serial ports, the USB variant (USB-1747-CP3) incorporates an integrated FT232RL chipset, providing driver support for Windows XP through Windows 7 (legacy versions). The 1747-CP3also connects PanelView terminals to MicroLogix controllers, extending its utility beyond basic programming tasks. These features minimize installation time and enhance reliability for maintenance teams .
Application Areas
The 1747-CP3is primarily used in industrial automation environments employing SLC 500 PLCs. It enables programming and diagnostics for manufacturing assembly lines, material handling systems, and process control setups (e.g., water treatment, packaging machinery). The cable is indispensable for commissioning new controllers, modifying logic, or monitoring real-time data via RSLinx. In facilities with legacy SLC 5/03 or 5/04 processors, the 1747-CP3ensures backward compatibility, reducing migration costs. It also interfaces PanelView HMIs with controllers for operator interface configurations. Industries like automotive, food and beverage, and energy rely on this cable for routine maintenance and emergency troubleshooting, leveraging its compatibility with Rockwell’s software ecosystem .

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation: Ensure the computer and PLC are powered off before connecting the 1747-CP3. Verify the computer’s serial port configuration (COM port settings) in RSLinx. For USB variants, install drivers prior to connection.
Maintenance Recommendations: Periodically inspect connectors for physical damage or corrosion. Avoid bending the cable sharply near connectors to prevent wire fatigue. Test communication periodically using RSLogix 500’s diagnostic tools. For outdated OSs like Windows XP SP3, note that Rockwell no provides driver updates, requiring manual system adjustments .
Product Assurance
Allen-Bradley designs the 1747-CP3to meet industrial safety and EMC standards. While Rockwell’s official warranty applies to genuine products, third-party suppliers like IQElectro offer extended 2-year warranties. The cable undergoes testing for emissions/immunity compliance, ensuring longevity in harsh conditions. For genuine components, Rockwell provides technical support through its global service network .
