Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 1785-MJ is an 8K word EEPROM memory module for PLC-2 and PLC-5 controllers (specifically models 1772-LW, 1772-LWP, 1785-LT, 1785-LT2, 1785-LT3, and 1785-LT4), commonly used for program file backup. Proper handling to avoid electrostatic discharge is crucial during installation, including grounding oneself and the module. The backplane switch must be configured for the desired transfer mode at processor start-up, and a jumper enables memory write protection. The module measures 2.18 x 1.73 x 0.69 inches (55.4 x 43.9 x 17.4 mm), operates between 0-60C, and should be installed only when the host processor is powered off to prevent damage or data loss.
Is Your Device Showing These Signs?
The Allen Bradley 1785-MJ PLC module commonly experiences issues such as backplane communication failures, often stemming from corrupted memory or a malfunctioning processor. Resolve these by reprogramming the EEPROM with a verified backup or replacing the processor. Power supply fluctuations induce instability, leading to erratic behavior; ensure stable voltage within specified tolerances. I/O module communication errors manifest from damaged data highways or faulty connections; inspect and reseat connectors, and verify cable integrity. Firmware corruption causes operational anomalies; perform a firmware upgrade using a compatible programmer. Finally, capacitor degradation on the circuit board leads to reduced performance and eventual failure; replace degraded capacitors with components meeting original specifications.
Technical specifications
The Allen-Bradley 1785-MJ is an 8K EEPROM memory module used for program backup in specific PLC-2 and PLC-5 controllers. It requires careful handling to prevent electrostatic discharge during installation, proper backplane switch configuration, and write protection jumper setting. Installation should only occur with the processor powered off. The module has specific physical dimensions and operating temperature range.
Our Repair Process for the
1785-MJ
Our repair process for the Allen Bradley 1785-MJ PLC module begins with addressing backplane communication failures by reprogramming the EEPROM with a verified backup or replacing the processor. Power supply fluctuations are resolved by ensuring stable voltage within specified tolerances. I/O module communication errors are corrected by inspecting and reseating connectors, and verifying cable integrity. Operational anomalies due to firmware corruption necessitate a firmware upgrade using a compatible programmer. Capacitor degradation is rectified by replacing degraded capacitors with components meeting original specifications.
