1762-L40BWA Functional Description    

The 1762-L40BWA AB Programmable Controllers is a compact yet powerful MicroLogix 1200 series PLC designed for industrial automation applications. With 40 total I/O points (24 discrete inputs and 14 relay outputs), this controller offers versatile connectivity for 24VDC sinking/sourcing input devices and handles outputs rated for 24-125VDC/120-240VAC. The 1762-L40BWA Allen-Bradley PDF features a robust design capable of 20 million mechanical cycles, making it ideal for demanding manufacturing environments. Its compact form factor and flexible communication options make it suitable for space-constrained installations.

Equipped with an 8-pin Mini DIN RS232 port, the Allen Bradley 1762 Series I/O Module supports multiple protocols including DH-485, DF1 (Full/Half Duplex), Modbus (Master/Slave), and ASCII. The controller operates effectively in peer-to-peer configurations, with optional converters available for network expansion (RS232-to-Ethernet or RS485). For DH-485 networks, the Allen-Bradley 1762-L40BWA can interface using external converters like the 1761-NET-AIC, providing flexible integration with various industrial automation systems.

The 1762-L40BWA MicroLogix 1200 Controller  operates on 120-240VAC power with an input frequency range of 47-63Hz. Its 24VDC sink/source inputs include 4 fast-response channels for time-critical applications. The controller requires installation in a properly climate-controlled enclosure, maintaining ambient temperatures between 0°C to 55°C. For optimal performance, supplemental climate control devices (heaters or fans) are recommended based on installation location, ensuring the Allen-Bradley 1762-L40BWA maintains reliability in varying industrial conditions.

Ideal for machine control and process automation, the ROCKWELL 1762-L40BWA MicroLogix 1200 40 Point Controller combines compact design with robust performance. Its 16 relay outputs (10A rating) and versatile input configuration make it suitable for diverse industrial applications. When installing, ensure proper enclosure protection and consider environmental factors to maximize the controller's 20 million-cycle lifespan. The unit's combination of communication flexibility, durable construction, and reliable performance makes it a preferred choice for small to medium automation projects requiring dependable control solutions.
