Product Summary
This 1762-L40AWAR MicroLogix 1200 PLC delivers reliable control for industrial automation. It integrates 24 discrete inputs and 16 relay outputs. The unit supports versatile communication protocols like MODBUS and ASCII. This makes it ideal for connecting barcode scanners and power meters efficiently.
Expert Technical Evaluation & Performance Review
The Allen-Bradley 1762-L40AWAR operates within a 0 to 55 degrees Celsius temperature range. This ensures stable performance in demanding factory environments. The onboard power supply accepts 120 to 240 Volts AC. It draws a maximum of 82 VA under full load conditions. This PLC controls loads up to 1440 VA through its relay outputs.
Relay outputs handle 24-125VDC and 120-240VAC with a 10A minimum load. The mechanical life reaches 20,000,000 cycles for long-term reliability. Input number 0 through 3 require a 14 to 24VDC ON-state voltage. Inputs 4 and above need only 10 to 24VDC for activation. The OFF-state leakage current stays at 1.5 mA minimum.
This controller embeds one 8-pin mini-DIN serial communication port. It supports DF1, DH-485, ASCII, and MODBUS Master/Slave protocols. Engineers can integrate MODBUS devices without needing a separate converter. The ASCII protocol allows direct connection to barcode scanners for production tracking. A dedicated programming port simplifies user program downloads.
Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Procurement managers should verify the 1762-L40AWAR matches your system voltage requirements. The unit requires 120-240V AC input power. It offers 24 sink/source inputs compatible with 24VDC signals. The 16 relay outputs provide volt-free contacts for flexible wiring.
System integrators benefit from the limited expansion capability. The controller fits in standard enclosures with dimensions of 90 mm height and 160 mm width. Shipping weight is only 2.4 pounds for easy handling. Always install inside a protective enclosure to meet safety standards.
This PLC supports limited expansion for small to medium applications. Use the 8-pin mini-DIN port with a 1761-CBL-PM02 cable. The device ensures reliable operation when ambient temperature stays below 55 degrees Celsius. Consider adding climate control for extreme conditions.
