Description and purpose

The 1746-A7 is the seven-slot chassis in the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 modular hardware family. It holds the chassis power supply at the left and provides seven module positions for a compatible processor, communication adapter, I/O or specialty modules.

For replacement work, match the complete 1746-A7 catalog number and inspect the chassis backplane, mounting points, power-supply connector and interconnect-cable arrangement. Rockwell lists this catalog as discontinued, so installed-system compatibility should be confirmed before the existing rack is removed.

Purchase verification
Send a clear chassis label photo, installed slot map, power-supply model, processor model and any chassis-interconnect cable numbers. These details let Myrtle check the correct seven-slot chassis and the existing local-I/O arrangement.

BUYER QUESTIONS

FAQ about 1746-A7

Will the 1746-A7 accept every SLC 500 processor and I/O module in my existing rack?

The chassis provides seven SLC 500 module slots, but the usable combination still depends on the processor, power-supply capacity, module current draw and project configuration. Send the installed slot list so the full rack can be checked.

Does the 1746-A7 include the chassis power supply?

No. The SLC 500 power supply is a separate catalog item mounted on the left side of the chassis. Confirm the existing supply model and its load calculation before replacement.

Can I replace a smaller or larger SLC 500 chassis with the 1746-A7 without changing the program?

Not automatically. Slot addresses can change when the chassis size or module position changes. Verify the slot map, chassis-interconnect layout and processor configuration before moving modules.

How should I check a used or stored 1746-A7 before installation?

Inspect the complete label, backplane connectors, power-supply mating area, mounting flange and interconnect sockets. Bent contacts, contamination or physical distortion should be resolved before power is applied.

What should be fitted in unused 1746-A7 slots?

Use the appropriate SLC 500 slot filler where required by the installation practice. Keep the enclosure clean and preserve ventilation around the chassis and power supply.

What information should I send for an accurate 1746-A7 quotation?

Provide the full chassis label, processor and power-supply models, installed slot map, interconnect cable numbers, quantity and destination. A front photo of the complete rack helps prevent a seven-slot chassis from being confused with another size.
