Description

The Allen-Bradley 1756-L1 is a foundational processor module within the ControlLogix (Logix5550) automation family. As a chassis-based controller, it is designed to reside in any slot of a 1756 ControlLogix chassis, facilitating seamless communication with I/O modules and other controllers across the ControlBus backplane. This module provides a modular and flexible control solution for various industrial automation tasks.

Features

  • Modular Design: Occupies a single slot in any standard 1756 ControlLogix chassis.
  • Memory Expansion: Features 64 KB of built-in user memory, with support for expansion via 1756-M1 (128 KB), 1756-M2 (512 KB), or 1756-M3 (2 MB) memory modules.
  • Data Retention: Supports 1756-BA1 or 1756-BA2 lithium battery modules to maintain volatile memory during power-down cycles.
  • Backplane Communication: High-speed data exchange via the ControlLogix backplane.
