Allen-Bradley 1763-L16AWA

The 1763-L16AWA is a MicroLogix 1100 Programmable Controller by Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Automation. It has 12 inputs (10 digital and 2 analog) and 6 outputs. This hardware has a relay output circuit type and an operating frequency of 47…63 Hertz. General specifications for the 1763-L16AWA include a power supply voltage of 100…240 Volts AC at 47…63 Hertz and a power consumption of 46 Volt-amperes. It has approximate dimensions of 90 x 110 x 87 millimeters, or 3.5 x 4.33 x 3.43 inches; the shipping weight for this controller is 0.9 kilograms, or 2.0 pounds. This device has an operating temperature between -20 and 65 degrees Celsius and a storage temperature between -40 and 85 degrees Celsius; relative humidity is 5% to 95%, non-condensing. The 1763-L16AWA by Allen-Bradley has an operating vibration rating of 10…500 Hertz, 5 g, 0.015 inches maximum peak-to-peak (2 hours each axis); relay operation is 1.5 g. Operating shock rating is 30 g; 3 pulses each direction, each axis while relay operation is 10 g. Nonoperating shock is 50 g panel mounted; 3 pulses each direction, each axis.

Additional general specifications for this hardware include ESD immunity that is compliant with EN 61000-4-2 and radiated RF immunity that is compliant with EN 61000-4-3; fast transient immunity is compliant with EN 61000-4-4 and surge transient immunity is compliant with EN 61000-4-5. Conducted RF immunity is compliant with EN 61000-4-6. Input specifications include an on-state voltage range between 79…132 Volts AC and an off-state voltage range between 0…20 Volts AC.

The 1763-L16AWA comes with support for 10-bit integers. It only supports analog data types. The analog resolution on this module is 10 bits. There are a total of 6 different digital relay outputs on this module. When it comes to communication, there are two sets of communication ports – one ethernet port, and one RS-232 / 485 port. It has a dimension of 3.5 inches x 4.33 inches x 3.43 inches. There is one LCD display mounted on the front panel. It comes with 16-point counts. The RS-232 / 485 ports are meant to be used for network and peer-to-peer communication. The RS-232 is specially designed for peer-to-peer communication. On the other hand, the RS-485 port should be used for multi-node communication. To connect this module with an Ethernet IP network, users can use the Ethernet port. This port supports data exchange at the rate of 10/100 megabytes per second. Users should use the LCD screen to set the different communication parameters. The LED display is also used for conducting I/O tests. 

The 1763-L16AWA allows users to create their own user programs. The relay output channel is designed to withstand a maximum of 10 amperes of load current. It has 10,000,000 cycles of lifespan. It only takes 10 seconds to execute the On/Off command. This terminal must be supplied with a voltage ranging anywhere in the range of 120 to 240 volts alternating current (AC), or 125 volts direct current (DC).
