About the 1747 Port Splitters
The 1747 Port Splitters, catalog numbers 1747-DPS1 and 1747-DPS2, allow a single
RS-232/DF1 full-duplex communication port on a controller to be split (expanded)
into two ports for communication with two external devices simultaneously. Port
splitters are compatible with the following controllers:
•
SLC 500
•
PLC-5
•
MicroLogix
•
ControlLogix
•
CompactLogix
•
FlexLogix
Both port splitters require an external power source and use Allen-Bradley
programming cables.

The second port is respond only and can run a programming terminal or human
machine interface (HMI). Both the network port and respond-only Prog/HMI port
are DF1 full-duplex, 19.2 Kbps, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.
The 1747-DPS1 port splitter is
not
