Figure 6 Connecting to a Tap
Important:
Taps contain passive electronics and must be purchased from
Allen-Bradley for the network to function properly.
If your node supports:
Connect the tap’s straight or right angle connector:
Non-redundant media
to the channel A connector on the 1747-ACN15 or 1747-
ACNR15 (channel B on the 1747-ACNR15 is not used)

1. While both channels are active, Allen-Bradley recommends using channel A for non-redundant
media.
Redundant media
• from trunkline A to channel A on the 1747-ACNR15
• from trunkline B to channel B on the 1747-ACNR15
!
ATTENTION: Do not allow any metal portions of the tap to
contact any conductive material. If you disconnect the tap
from the adapter, place the dust cap back on the straight or
right angle connector to prevent the connector from
accidentally contacting a metallic grounded surface.
