1747-FC Ferrite Collar for SLC 500 EMI/RFI Suppression

Product Overview

The 1747-FC ferrite collar helps suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). It works with RS-232 cables. This accessory fits SLC 500 controllers like 1747-L541, 1747-L542, and 1747-L543. Snap it onto the cable where it exits the module. The collar reduces noise that can cause errors. It ensures stable communication in automation systems. The collar uses ferrite material for effective attenuation. The plastic housing provides durability. Installation is simple and quick. No tools are required.

Application Scenarios

Use the 1747-FC in industrial environments with high electrical noise. Motors, drives, and welding equipment can create interference. The collar protects SLC 500 processors from false signals. It supports RS-232 connections to HMI or SCADA systems. Apply it in manufacturing plants, assembly lines, and process control. The collar helps maintain data integrity. It works in compliance with the European EMC Directive. Use it where cable exits the controller module. It is ideal for retrofitting existing systems.
