Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1761-L16AWA is a compact controller from the MicroLogix 1000 family, designed for basic control capabilities in small to mid-size industrial automation applications. This compact controller features 1K memory, integrated RS232 communication port, sixteen discrete inputs and six relay outputs. Ideal for use in micro and small automation requirements, the 1761-L16AWA integrates power supply, I/O channels, memory, and communication in a single compact unit.
Key Features
- 16 integrated I/O points comprising ten 79-132 VAC rated inputs and six relay output channels rated for 24-125 VDC and 120-240 VAC
- One RS232 8-pin mini DIN communication port supporting DF1 and MODBUS slave protocols
- 1K EEPROM memory with approximately 737 instructions and 437 data words capacity
- 40 timers with 2 milliseconds typical program scan time per Kword
- Capable of implementing discrete and analog control as well as time-based, counter-based, and simple motion control applications
- DIN rail or panel mounting for flexible installation
