Product Summary
The Allen-Bradley 1763-L16AWA is a compact MicroLogix 1100 programmable controller. This unit integrates twelve 120VAC discrete inputs and two analog inputs. It also includes six relay outputs for robust control. The controller offers both RS-232 and Ethernet communication ports. This model is ideal for small-scale industrial automation tasks.
Expert Technical Evaluation & Performance Review
This MicroLogix 1100 controller provides a solid platform for many applications. The 1763-L16AWA model uses an input power range of 120 to 240 Volts AC. Its power consumption is a modest 46VA for efficient operation. The ten digital inputs accept 120V AC signals directly. These inputs have an ON-state current of 12 mA at nominal voltage. The two analog inputs accept a 0-10VDC signal from sensors. An internal converter stores this data as a 10-bit unsigned integer. This provides a 10-bit resolution for accurate signal measurement.
The six relay outputs can handle a load current of 10 Amps. These outputs have a mechanical life of 10,000,000 cycles. They can switch loads from 120 to 240V AC or 125V DC. The turn on and turn off time is just 10 milliseconds. This allows for precise control of actuators and contactors. The controller dimensions are a compact 3.5 x 4.33 x 3.43 inches. This small footprint saves valuable space inside an industrial enclosure.
Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Procurement managers should verify the I/O requirements for their project. The 1763-L16AWA offers a total of 16 points for your application. You get ten digital inputs and two analog inputs for sensing. The six relay outputs handle your load switching needs. The built-in LCD display allows for quick parameter adjustments. You can configure communication settings directly on the controller screen.
The integrated Ethernet port supports 10/100 Mbps network speeds. This allows for high-speed connectivity to plant networks. The RS-232/485 port enables peer-to-peer or multi-node communication. Use RS-232 for a direct connection to a single device. Use RS-485 for connecting multiple devices on a network. This controller is perfect for material handling and packaging lines. It also works well for water, wastewater, and pharmaceutical solutions. Always mount this controller in an industrial enclosure for protection. This reduces the effects of environmental exposure and electrical interference.
