Product Information

Enhance networked machine control and improve productivity in the workplace with the Allen-Bradley 1761-L32AWA Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). This industrial computer control system enables you to achieve a high-performing and low-cost industrial programming and information solution in a compact package. One of the models in the MicroLogix 1000 product family of small, economical controllers, the 1761-L32AWA includes a high-speed processor, a power supply, and input/output (I/O) circuitry. Plus, it offers ease of connection to a network, with its on-board RS-232C port that supports a wide range of transmission types. A leading distributor of industrial control platforms and information solutions, Rockwell Automation is the manufacturer of the Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Software brands, which are globally recognized for excellence and innovation. One of its product series, the MicroLogix 1000 provides high functionality and programming versatility with its comprehensive suite of advanced features. Other models in this product line include the 1761-L10BXB, 1761-L16BWA, 1761-L32BWA, 1761-L32BWB, and 1761-L32BBB. As market conditions evolve and control applications become more demanding, the MicroLogix 1000 1761-L32AWA model enables your company to improve any type of machine function, production line, or manufacturing process, which increases operational efficiency and drives business growth. Designed using the industry-proven SLC 500 family architecture, this control system is suitable for a variety of applications, including material handling, packaging, general industrial machinery, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) deployments. Big on performance but small in size, this PLC is panel-mountable and easily fits into tight spaces. Employing a modular design, easily mix and match various I/O combinations. Available in a 32-point I/O configuration, this unit includes 120V/240V alternating current (AC) supply, 20 120V AC digital inputs and 12 relay outputs. Multiple 120V input commons enable you to use this PLC for either sinking or sourcing devices, while multiple output commons allow isolation in multi-voltage tasks. With its integrated, electrically erasable, read only memory, this unit also saves all your data and ladder logic during outages. This eliminates the need for a separate module or battery backup. This MicroLogix 1000 unit comes preset with 1KB program and data, to facilitate the configuration of binary digits, integers, timers, and counters. It provides high-speed processing of up to 1.5 milliseconds of throughput time for a 500-instruction program. With its built-in RS-232C port, a number of communication networks are also supported. Easily set up a direct connection to an operator interface or programming device, through DF1 protocol, or enable DeviceNet networking via a 1761-NET-DNI interface. This controller is also configurable for Ethernet/Internet protocol connectivity through a 1761-NET-ENI interface. With embedded support for remote terminal unit slave protocol, DF1 half-duplex enables up to 254 slave nodes to broadcast with a single master, via leased-line modems, radio modems, and satellite uplinks.
