Allen-Bradley SK-R9-PINT2-CF7C – Plug-in Option Module for Industrial Control Systems

The Allen-Bradley SK-R9-PINT2-CF7C appears to be a specialized plug-in option/accessory designed to expand or adapt an existing Allen‑Bradley drive or motion control platform. From my experience with Rockwell Automation ecosystems, SK-series options like this are typically used to add specific I/O or interface functionality to the host device without reworking the main hardware. You might notice that this kind of module is favored for brownfield upgrades—quick slot-in, fast commissioning, and minimal panel changes.

Key Features

• Drop-in expansion for host devices – Typically installs into a designated option bay on compatible Allen‑Bradley controllers or drives, keeping panel layouts intact.
• Targeted functionality – The PINT2 designation suggests a purpose-built interface (often high-speed signal or application‑specific I/O) to match particular control tasks.
• Host-powered design – No separate power supply in most cases; the module draws low power directly from the host for a clean wiring scheme.
• Serviceable in the field – Slot-level replacement reduces downtime. One thing I appreciate is how these options help maintenance teams isolate issues quickly.
• Panel-friendly footprint – Compact, with mounting guided by the host chassis; wiring stays short and tidy.
• Industrial endurance – It seems to be intended for standard factory environments; conformal-coated variants are often used where dust or humidity is a concern.

Technical Specifications

Related or Supporting Products

• 20-750-ENETR – EtherNet/IP dual-port option for PowerFlex 750-Series drives; suitable when CIP networks are required.
• 20-750-PBUS – PROFIBUS DP communication option; handy for brownfield PROFIBUS plants.
• 20-750-PNET – PROFINET option module; often chosen in mixed-vendor environments.
• 1756 I/O and Communication Modules – If the host is ControlLogix-based, modules like 1756-EN2T or 1756-DHRIO provide controller-level connectivity instead of drive-level options.

Note: Compatibility depends on the exact host series and firmware. If you share the target controller/drive family, I can match the variant precisely and suggest an equivalent if needed.

Installation & Maintenance

• Panel/cabinet standards: Install within an industrial control panel meeting IEC/UL standards, with adequate ventilation around the host chassis.
• Wiring & grounding: Follow the host’s installation manual; keep signal runs short, segregate from high-voltage conductors, and maintain a clean earth reference.
• Environmental conditions: Use within the temperature and humidity range of the host platform; in most cases standard factory ambient is acceptable.
• Commissioning: Insert with power off, torque fasteners per spec, then apply power and verify module recognition in the host software.
• Routine care: Periodically check seating and terminal tightness; clean dust from the panel; review firmware/EDS files where applicable.
• Spare strategy: Keeping one spare on hand typically avoids extended downtime, especially in 24/7 lines.

Quality & Certifications

• Certifications: CE, UL/cUL, and RoHS compliance are commonly available on Allen‑Bradley industrial modules; specific marks depend on the host series and revision.
• Manufacturer quality: Built within Rockwell Automation’s quality system (ISO-based manufacturing processes for industrial control components).
• Warranty: 365‑day warranty from us; manufacturer’s standard warranty policies apply for the original product.

If your application needs a certain network, feedback signal, or environmental rating, tell me the host device and network standard—matching the correct SK-R9 variant typically saves both time and retrofit cost.
