Allen-Bradley 1203-GK1 Communication Module Remote I/O Interface

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1203-GK1 Remote I/O Communication Module ensures reliable, high-speed data transfer between Allen-Bradley drives and programmable controllers. Designed for industrial automation systems, it provides a stable communication path via SCANport or serial links, simplifying integration across distributed control architectures.

This versatile module enhances system flexibility by supporting long-distance connections between PLCs and drives, allowing engineers to optimize machine layout without compromising signal quality. Its NEMA Type 1 enclosure and robust power design ensure continuous performance in demanding industrial environments.

Technical Specifications

Performance and Design

The 1203-GK1 enables efficient data exchange between PLCs and drives through its direct digital communication interface. This minimizes signal loss and latency, ensuring real-time control performance. Each 1203-GK1 module supports one SCANport device, providing isolated, stable communication that enhances reliability in safety-critical systems.

Weighing only 0.50 lbs (0.23 kg) and featuring a compact DIN rail design, it fits easily into crowded control panels. Its 24V DC power input ensures consistent operation, while the NEMA-rated housing protects internal components from dust and industrial debris.

Technicians can connect multiple 1203-GK1 units across a single Remote I/O network to expand communication capacity. During installation or servicing, anti-static precautions should always be taken to prevent component damage.

Applications

• Communication interface for Allen-Bradley PLCs and drives

• Remote system control via I/O networks

• Distributed automation systems requiring serial link connectivity

• Industrial environments with long-distance PLC-drive communication needs
