Allen-Bradley 1770-SB Data Cartridge Recorder

Allen-Bradley 1770-SB Data Cartridge Recorder with Case, catalog number 173385, is a portable, high-speed data storage and retrieval device used with Allen-Bradley programmable controllers to load programs and back up memory data. The unit records to and reads from Allen-Bradley Mini Data Cartridges, providing a dedicated cartridge-based data path for program data across legacy AB systems, and it can be operated with an Allen-Bradley Industrial Terminal or other dumb terminals as part of AB automation workflows. Included with this unit is a protective case, enabling safe transport and field use while preserving cartridge contents. In legacy AB environments, the 1770-SB serves as a portable data recorder to transfer and archive controller programs, supporting maintenance, program migration, and offline storage tasks in older automation setups that rely on cartridge-based data management and AB terminals.
