Product Introduction
The Allen Bradley 1785-ME32/A EEPROM Memory Cartridge is a non-volatile memory module designed for use with PLC-5 series processors. It provides secure storage for control programs, configuration data, and operating parameters, ensuring that critical automation programs remain preserved even when the controller is powered off.
With a 32 K word EEPROM capacity, this memory cartridge offers expanded storage compared with smaller backup modules, making it suitable for PLC-5 systems running more complex control logic. The cartridge can store the complete processor program and reload it during system startup, helping reduce downtime and simplifying maintenance procedures.
Designed specifically for PLC-5/30 processors, the 1785-ME32/A installs directly into the controller’s memory slot. Its compact construction and low power consumption allow it to operate reliably within industrial automation environments while maintaining consistent program backup performance.

FAQ
-
What is the purpose of the 1785-ME32/A memory cartridge?
It stores PLC programs and configuration data so that the controller can reload them when the system restarts. -
What type of memory technology is used in this cartridge?
The module uses EEPROM, a non-volatile memory that retains stored information without power. -
What is the storage capacity of the cartridge?
It provides 32 K words of memory for PLC programs and related data. -
Which PLC processors are compatible with this module?
It is designed primarily for PLC-5/30 processors within the PLC-5 series. -
How does the cartridge improve system reliability?
By storing the PLC program externally, it ensures that the control logic can be restored quickly after power loss. -
Does the module require additional configuration to store programs?
The program must be written to the EEPROM using PLC programming software before it can be used as a backup source. -
Can the cartridge automatically reload the PLC program?
Yes. When configured correctly, the processor can load the stored program from the EEPROM during startup. -
What is the power requirement for this module?
It operates at 5 VDC and requires approximately 0.17 A. -
Is the module suitable for industrial automation environments?
Yes. It is designed to operate reliably in industrial control systems. -
Why is EEPROM commonly used for PLC backup memory?
