Product Summary
The Allen-Bradley 1763-L16BWA MicroLogix 1100 controller manages small-scale automation with precision. This compact programmable logic controller integrates ten digital inputs, two analog inputs, and six relay outputs. Engineers can rely on its robust 100-240VAC power supply and rugged design for demanding environments.
Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Why Choose This MicroLogix 1100 Controller
The 1763-L16BWA delivers a complete I/O solution in a single unit. Procurement teams value its integrated 16-point count plus two analog channels. This eliminates the need for multiple separate modules in simpler applications. The controller directly reduces panel space and wiring complexity.
Understanding the Input Configuration
This controller features ten 24VDC digital inputs supporting sink or source wiring. Four of these inputs operate as high-speed digital inputs. This allows the system to capture fast sensor signals without extra hardware. The two analog inputs accept a 0-10VDC signal range.
Output Capabilities for Load Control
The six relay outputs handle a continuous current of 1.0A each. Each output is individually isolated for reliable switching. The relay contacts offer a make current capacity of 1.2A. This design supports various inductive and resistive loads.
Power Supply and Environmental Tolerances
The unit requires an input power from 120 to 240 Volts AC. It operates within a temperature range of -20 to 65 degrees Celsius. The controller withstands 30G of operational shock and 15G vibration at 50 Hertz. This ensures reliable function in harsh industrial conditions.
Communication and Expansion Options
This PLC includes one RS-232/485 port and one Ethernet port. It supports up to four expansion modules for future I/O growth. The built-in LCD display provides local status information for technicians.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Mounting and Mechanical Setup
Begin by mounting the controller in a suitable enclosure. The unit measures 3.5 x 4.33 x 3.43 inches and weighs approximately 2 pounds. Secure the module using the provided mounting clips. Ensure adequate airflow for cooling.
Wiring the Analog Inputs
Use Belden 8761 cable for analog input wiring. This cable includes a drain wire and foil shield for noise protection. Connect the shield to the grounding system. The analog channels support 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire transmitters.
Connecting Digital Inputs and Outputs
Wire the 24V DC digital inputs using sink or source configuration. Remember this controller does not provide loop power for analog inputs. Connect relay outputs to loads rated for 120-240VAC or 125VDC. The relay output channels handle a load current of 10A.
Powering the Controller
Connect the input power supply between 100 and 240 Volts AC. The inrush current reaches 25A for 8 milliseconds at 120 Volts AC. At 240 Volts AC, the inrush current is 40A for 4 milliseconds. The overall power consumption is 52 VA.
Initial Commissioning Checks
Verify the OFF-state voltage range is between 0 and 5 Volts DC. Check the analog input accuracy is within +/-0.5% full-scale. The 10-bit resolution provides a 10-bit unsigned integer data type.
