Allen Bradley 1336-GM6 Communication

Configured for internal bus communication and data transmission in 1336 Adjustable drive networks, the Allen Bradley 1336-GM6 (1336-GM6 Communication module) provides direct physical/electrical execution via internal DeviceNet and SCANport interfaces.

Hardware Specifications

Profinet / EtherNet/IP Deterministic Networks and Bus Communication

The 1336-GM6 establishes deterministic data interchange across adjustable drive platforms utilizing dedicated DeviceNet protocols and physical SCANport connections. Firmware flash compatibility and bus communication velocities are maintained through selectable data rates of 125 kbps, 250 kbps, and 500 kbps supported by automatic autobaud detection. The internal-mount module draws 150 mA from the 5 VDC rail and 60 mA from the 24 VDC rail, ensuring optimized power distribution across the host backplane. Robust electrostatic discharge protection rated at 4 kV contact and 8 kV open air safeguards internal circuitry against transient surges, while cUL and UL 508 certifications validate adherence to stringent industrial safety standards.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. Ensure the host drive is fully de-energized, locked out, and isolated from all power sources prior to handling internal components.
2. Observe proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions, given the module's 4 kV contact and 8 kV open-air susceptibility limits, by wearing a grounded wrist strap.
3. Secure the internal-mount communication card onto the designated SCANport interface within the drive enclosure.
4. Connect the 5-pin DeviceNet network cable to the corresponding terminal block, maintaining proper shield grounding and cable routing.
5. Restore power to the host drive and verify communication link stability via network status indicators.
