USB17611747CP3 Programming Cable for AB SLC 5/03 5/04 5/05 and MicroLogix 1000/1200/1500 Series A dedicated programming cable designed to provide a direct, reliable USB connection between a PC and AllenBradley (AB) SLC and MicroLogix PLCs. Goldplated connectors improve conductivity and corrosion resistance for longterm, stable communication during programming, troubleshooting, and data transfers. Key benefits Simple, direct connection for programming and maintenance: eliminates the need for legacy serial adapters or complex wiring. Reliable data transfer: goldplated contacts reduce signal loss and contact corrosion for consistent communications. Saves time on commissioning and troubleshooting: fast, stable link between your laptop and PLC speeds uploads/downloads and online monitoring. Broad compatibility with AB PLC families: built for SLC 5/03, 5/04, 5/05 and MicroLogix 1000, 1200, 1500 series controllers. Main features and attributes Model: USB17611747CP3 Functionality: PCtoPLC programming and data/exchange cable Compatibility: AllenBradley (AB) SLC 5/03, 5/04, 5/05; MicroLogix 1000, MicroLogix 1200, MicroLogix 1500 series Connectors: goldplated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance Performance: stable, lowresistance connections designed for consistent programming and diagnostics Design: cable intended for reliable, everyday industrial programming use How it solves common problems Replaces unreliable or worn connectors: gold plating reduces intermittent faults caused by oxidized contacts. Avoids complex converter chains: direct USB connection simplifies setup and reduces points of failure. Reduces downtime: dependable communications help complete program downloads, backups, and online edits without repeated attempts. Typical use cases Programming and commissioning: Upload and download ladder logic, configurations, and firmware updates between a PC and SLC or MicroLogix controllers during system setup. Onsite troubleshooting and diagnostics: Establish a stable connection for live monitoring, forcing I/O, or viewing runtime data to quickly identify and fix control issues. Routine maintenance and backups: Create backups of controller programs and perform scheduled downloads or parameter updates during preventative maintenance. Practical notes Designed specifically for the listed AB SLC and MicroLogix models; verify controller model before use. Goldplated connectors help ensure longterm reliability in industrial environments where frequent connections are required. Intended for programming, data transfer, and troubleshooting tasks between a PC and compatible AllenBradley controllers. A straightforward, purposebuilt cable to maintain efficient, reliable communication between your PC and AB SLC or MicroLogix PLCs.
