Frequently Asked Questions

Which MicroLogix 1000 controllers have analog I/O?
The -5A models (1761-L20AWA-5A, 1761-L20BWA-5A and 1761-L20BWB-5A) add 4 analog inputs and 1 analog output to 12 discrete inputs and 8 relay outputs.
Which communication protocols does the MicroLogix 1000 support?
All MicroLogix 1000 controllers support DF1 full-duplex on the RS-232 port. Series D or later discrete controllers and all analog controllers also support DF1 half-duplex slave. Series C or later discrete controllers and all analog controllers can join a DH-485 network through a 1761-NET-AIC (AIC+) Advanced Interface Converter.
How much current can a MicroLogix 1000 relay output switch?
Each relay is rated 2.5 A continuous at 120/240 V AC and 2.0 A at 24 V DC, with 8.0 A per common. Do not exceed the current-per-common rating.
