Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 1747-L553 communicate directly with a Siemens HMI over Ethernet?
A: Yes, via EtherNet/IP using a third-party OPC-UA or Modbus TCP gateway. Native Siemens S7 protocol is not supported without a protocol converter.
Q: What is the maximum number of I/O modules supported?
A: Up to 30 I/O modules across local and remote (1747-SN / 1747-ASB) chassis, supporting up to 4,096 discrete I/O points.
Q: Is RSLogix 500 still available for download?
A: RSLogix 500 is available through the Rockwell Automation Software Portal with a valid license. Konmask can assist with sourcing legacy software licenses.
Q: Can I replace a 1747-L552 (32K) with a 1747-L553 (64K) without reprogramming?
A: Yes. The 1747-L553 is a drop-in hardware replacement for the L552. Upload the existing program, verify I/O configuration, and download — no logic changes required.
Q: Does Konmask offer on-site commissioning support?
A: Remote commissioning support is available via video call. On-site support in select regions can be arranged — contact us for details.
