Allen-Bradley 1757-BEM is a rechargeable battery extension module for the ProcessLogix 1757-PLX52 controller. It maintains the controller user configuration during repeated chassis-power interruptions.
- Extends configuration retention during rack power loss
- Provides a rechargeable backup source for the supported controller
- Supports ProcessLogix installations with frequent supply interruptions
- Replaces reliance on the controller's internal disposable backup battery
1757-BEM operates with 1757-PLX52 controller, ProcessLogix chassis, module interconnect, controller configuration backup.
Typical engineered duties include ProcessLogix 1757-PLX52 controller support, Planned chassis-power shutdowns, Interruption-prone control cabinets, Controller configuration retention.
Important Notice: Use 1757-BEM only with the supported 1757-PLX52 arrangement and remove the 1757-PLXBAT internal controller battery as directed before commissioning the extension module.
