Specification

The Allen-Bradley 1769-ASCII module is a dedicated serial communication interface engineered for CompactLogix controllers, allowing direct ASCII string handling without additional programming overhead. Designed for factory automation environments, it bridges PLC logic with serial peripherals such as RFID readers, weigh indicators, and label printers. The module supports standard baud rates up to 115.2 kbps and features configurable parity, stop bits, and data length. Its compact form factor fits seamlessly into 1769 I/O banks, and it includes diagnostic LEDs for transmit/receive status. Below is the detailed technical specification table for the 1769-ASCII.
