1756-A10 Functional Description

The 1756-A10 ControlLogix Chassis ROCKWELL is a fundamental 10-slot chassis within the robust ControlLogix system, designed to host a range of controllers, communication modules, and I/O. Its primary role is to facilitate seamless electronic connectivity between all installed modules, supported by a comprehensive backplane current rating that ensures stable power distribution for demanding applications. The reliable performance of the 1756-A10 AB ControlLogix Chassis 10 Slots makes it a cornerstone for building scalable and high-performance industrial automation solutions. Proper installation requires specific clearances, including space for top, bottom, and side mounting, with dedicated considerations when units are placed side-by-side to accommodate power supplies.

A key feature of the design is that the power supply, whether standard or redundant, occupies a dedicated left-most slot and does not consume any of the ten available module slots. The AB ControlLogix 10 Slots Chassis 1756-A10 is available in Series B and C, which differ primarily in their operating temperature ranges, with Series C offering a wider range for more challenging environments. Both series share a common design that includes critical safety features like Functional Earth Ground and Protective Earth Ground terminals, which are engineered to specific wiring standards to ensure operational safety and system integrity. These grounding specifications are vital for the reliable function of the Allen-Bradley 1756-A10.

The electrical characteristics of the ControlLogix Chassis 1756-A10 Allen Bradley backplane are meticulously defined, with specific current ratings for different voltages to guarantee module compatibility and performance. With a low power dissipation of 5 Watts, the chassis is engineered for efficiency. Its rugged construction is evidenced by its ability to withstand significant operational shock and vibration, as per international standards like IEC 60068-2-27, ensuring reliability in harsh industrial settings. This ruggedness is an intrinsic part of it value proposition.

Finally, the physical specifications of the ALLEN BRADLEY 1756-A10 include its open-style enclosure, dimensions, and weight, which are critical for cabinet planning. It is designed to operate effectively within a specified temperature and humidity range, and its shipping/storage tolerance is even broader, guaranteeing it arrives on site in perfect working condition. These combined attributes make this chassis a versatile and dependable hardware platform for a wide array of automation control architectures.
