Product Summary
This memory module stores 128 KB of program data. It uses non-volatile memory, so it retains its contents without battery power. The module prevents unwanted program deletion and unplanned system downtime. It also transfers programs between controllers or acts as a backup.
Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Understanding the 1763-MM1 Lifecycle
The 1763-MM1 reached its end of life on April 1st, 2022. Rockwell Automation lists the Micro 800 series as its replacement product. Procurement teams must plan for this component's obsolescence.
For existing systems, this module remains a valuable spare part. It offers a direct, drop-in replacement for current MicroLogix 1100 installations. Stockpiling this module ensures long-term system support.
Key Specifications for Engineers
The module provides exactly 128 KB of non-volatile memory. This memory type requires no battery for data retention. The module supports recipe logging and program compare functions.
Data logging is not supported by this unit. The module supports write protection to prevent accidental changes. It also supports Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) for live system modifications.
Solving Application Pain Points
Engineers use this module to back up critical user programs. The module automatically transfers its contents to the controller RAM at startup. This action restores the system after a shutdown or power loss.
The memory module does not increase the host controller's built-in memory. It operates as a separate, removable storage device. Use it to transfer programs between multiple MicroLogix 1100 controllers.
Step-by-Step User & Installation Guide
Preparing for Installation
First, remove the port cover shipped with the MicroLogix 1100 controller. Locate the mounting guides on the controller's front panel. Ensure your workspace is clean and free of static discharge.
Inserting the Module
Next, align the 1763-MM1 memory module with the mounting guides. Gently push the module straight into the slot while maintaining alignment. If you feel unusual resistance, pull back the module completely.
Then, restart the insertion process slowly and carefully. Never use excessive force to seat the module. Forcing the unit can damage both the controller and the memory module.
Power Cycling and Recognition
You can install this module with or without power applied to the controller. The design supports RIUP, so hot-swapping causes no damage. However, you must power cycle the controller for system recognition.
The system also recognizes the module when the controller transitions to program mode. It will also recognize the change in suspend mode or after a faulted state entry. Always verify the new hardware appears in the software configuration.
