ALLEN-BRADLEY 1201-HAS2 Human Interface Programmer Module for 1336 AC Drives

ALLEN-BRADLEY 1201-HAS2 Human Interface Programmer Module for 1336 AC Drives

The ALLEN-BRADLEY 1201-HAS2 is a plug-in Human Interface Programmer Module (HIM) engineered exclusively for the Allen-Bradley 1336 series of adjustable frequency AC drives. As a combined programmer and controller unit, the ALLEN-BRADLEY 1201-HAS2 mounts directly onto the drive and provides maintenance personnel with a local LCD screen and physical keypad for parameter configuration, operating value monitoring, and fault diagnostics without the need for an external laptop or programming terminal .

Within the 1336 drive accessory architecture, the ALLEN-BRADLEY 1201-HAS2 serves as the primary local interface between the drive‘s internal parameter set and the technician commissioning or troubleshooting the equipment. The module handles the same configuration tasks that drive software performs over a serial link—scrolling through parameter numbers, modifying values, initiating start and stop commands, monitoring output speed and current, and retrieving the fault queue when the drive trips . This localized functionality positions the ALLEN-BRADLEY 1201-HAS2 as an essential tool for facilities maintaining legacy 1336 Plus, 1336 Force, and 1336 IMPACT drive installations.

The ALLEN-BRADLEY 1201-HAS2 is powered directly from the host drive at 5 V DC, requiring no separate supply or external wiring beyond seating the module in its designated connector . Supplied in a NEMA 1 / IP20 enclosure intended for indoor cabinet installation, the module represents the Series A revision of the 1201-HAS2 designation. Rockwell Automation has discontinued the product along with the wider 1336 drive platform, making tested refurbished and new surplus units the primary supply source for plants extending the service life of their existing drive infrastructure .

Main Features and Advantages

The ALLEN-BRADLEY 1201-HAS2 delivers localized programming and diagnostic capability that streamlines maintenance workflows for facilities operating legacy 1336 series drives.

Local programming without a laptop: The ALLEN-BRADLEY 1201-HAS2 places the complete parameter set of a 1336 drive behind a dedicated keypad and screen mounted at the equipment. Technicians modify acceleration times, current limits, and speed references in the field, eliminating the need to transport a programming cable and configured PC to each drive location. This self-contained approach reduces commissioning time and simplifies routine adjustments during mechanical run-in or process changes .

Fault diagnosis at the point of failure: When a 1336 drive trips, the ALLEN-BRADLEY 1201-HAS2 displays the fault code alongside operating values recorded at the moment of the trip. This immediate visibility enables technicians to distinguish between transient conditions requiring a simple reset and recurring faults demanding root-cause investigation. The ability to retrieve fault history directly from the module shortens the diagnostic loop on intermittent issues that might otherwise require repeated site visits .

Integrated operator controls: Beyond programming functions, the ALLEN-BRADLEY 1201-HAS2 operates as a local operator station with start and stop control plus an analog potentiometer for speed reference. This capability proves valuable during initial commissioning, mechanical testing, or as a fallback control method when the primary control system is unavailable. The physical keyboard provides tactile feedback and reliable operation in environments where touchscreens may be impractical .

Drive-powered simplicity: The ALLEN-BRADLEY 1201-HAS2 draws its 5 V DC operating power directly from the host drive‘s interface connector, requiring no additional power supply, fusing, or wiring. This design simplifies installation to a single seating action and eliminates potential wiring errors that could damage the module or drive .
