Allen-Bradley 1785-PFB is a PLC-5 PROFIBUS coprocessor. It links the PLC-5 control platform to a configured PROFIBUS network and is commissioned through the Local Station Manager.
- Executes the configured PLC-5-to-PROFIBUS communication role
- Exposes bus parameters and module information to the engineering utility
- Reports remote, communication, module and program events
- Supports controlled communication and module reset functions
1785-PFB operates with PLC-5 processor system, PROFIBUS field network, RS-232 engineering cable, Local Station Manager software.
Typical engineered duties include PLC-5 PROFIBUS station integration, PROFIBUS device commissioning, Legacy network diagnostic work, PLC-5 bus-parameter recovery.
Important Notice: Replacing 1785-PFB requires preservation of the PROFIBUS station parameters, address conversion, device configuration and PLC-5 data mapping; a module reset alone does not validate the network.

Read the applicable Allen-Bradley installation instructions before work. Verify 1785-PFB and the installed-system configuration.
1Archive the bus parameters and address map before module work.
2Use the documented RS-232 pinout for the engineering connection.
3Verify station address and bus parameters before enabling communications.
4Review event logs and device status after any reset or configuration load.
5Commission 1785-PFB under controlled conditions and retain the completed functional-test record before release.
