Frequently Asked Questions about ABR-3205
What is the role that an ABR-3205 CTC Parker Automation Allen-Bradley Remote 1771 I/O Card and Driver plays in the Parker Automation P1 and P1H power station series?
The ABR-3205 is an Allen-Bradley 1771 remote input output (also knows as I/O) card and driver. This model is a P1 hardware accessory that may either be user installed or factory installed. The ABR-3205 is not for use with the P1H power systems.
The P1 and the P1H power station units are designed for HMI and for machine control. They offer an alternative to panels that contain push buttons as a display-based panel option. The P1 especially contains the Interact software. This allows alarming, network capabilities, and graphics components to be added to a power station. The end user is able to efficiently conduct monitoring and control operations of the machine or the process as a whole. The application can be represented realistically with animations and free-form graphics as well. The ABR-3205 is simply one additional feature that can be added to the P1 power station to increase the convenience for the end user with the addition of the remote I/O driver and card. The P1 power station is a great option for updating an existing power station.
