PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1756-L73 is a ControlLogix controller designed for demanding industrial automation applications. It provides 8 MB of user memory alongside 0.98 MB of dedicated input and output memory. The unit supports up to 32 controller tasks. Each task can execute up to 100 independent user programs. It handles up to 128,000 total digital I/O points and 4,000 analog I/O points.
This controller supports up to 500 controller connections for distributed network architectures. Controller redundancy is fully supported to minimize unplanned system downtime. Integrated communication options include EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, and DeviceNet protocols. It also supports Data Highway Plus, Remote I/O, and SynchLink communication links. A single USB port provides local programming and diagnostic access.
