Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1761-L16BWA is a compact, entry-level MicroLogix 1000 programmable controller designed for small-scale industrial automation applications. This controller is a MicroLogix 1000 series programmable controller that combines ten (10) inputs at 24 Volts DC and six (6) relay output points in a space-efficient package. The power supply voltage range of this controller is 85 to 264 Volts AC and 47 to 63 Hertz, making it suitable for global industrial environments. The Series E designation indicates compatibility with current firmware and standard ladder logic programming.
Key Features
- Ten (10) inputs at 24 Volts DC and Six (6) relay output points
- 6.6-kilohertz high-speed input and comes with DF1 and RS-232 communication ports
- 1K total EEPROM memory and has a maximum of 40 timers with a response time of 2 milliseconds typical for program scan time
- DIN rail or panel mount capability with IP20 enclosure
- Operating temperature of 0 to 55 Degrees Celsius when mounted horizontally
- Can be mounted horizontally or vertically
Technical Specifications
MicroLogix 1000 controller that has a compact form and features Sixteen (16) I/O points which consists of Ten (10) 24VDC rated inputs and Six (6) relay output channels rated for 24-125VDC and 120-240 VAC.
- Uses 120 to 240 Volts of AC power, with 14 Watts at 120 Volts AC and 15 Watts at 240 Volts AC real input power
- 30-Amp for 8 milliseconds maximum power supply inrush current
- Operating shock of 10G and a non-operating shock of 20G, as well as an operating vibration of 2.5G
- Internal memory capacity of this controller amounts to 1K EEPROM memory, capable of storing 737 instruction and 437 data words
- Capable of exchanging data through the integrated RS232 communication port which supports Allen-Bradley proprietary DF1 protocol
Typical Applications
The 1761-L16BWA is ideal for machine control, process automation, packaging equipment, and small-scale industrial control systems where compact size and reliable relay output switching are required. The 1761-L16BWA may also be programmed with the use of the MicroLogix Hand-Held Programmer (HHP), with both programming methods supporting download and upload of user program, monitor, test and commission of the PLC device. This unit handles discrete input/output logic with no analog channels, making it cost-effective for applications requiring basic digital control.
