1762-L40BXBR Allen Bradley | MicroLogix 1200 Programmable Logic Controller

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 1762-L40BXBR functions as the central processing powerhouse for the MicroLogix 1200 system. This compact controller manages high-density I/O requirements by integrating 24 inputs and 16 outputs into a single chassis. It bridges the gap between basic micro-controllers and full-scale modular PLCs, providing the speed and versatility needed for complex machine sequences. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Factory Original, ensuring your facility operates with genuine, high-integrity hardware.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Hybrid Output Versatility: The 1762-L40BXBR solves the common dilemma of choosing between speed and load capacity. The integrated Relay outputs handle high-current loads (up to 125VDC/240VAC), while the FET outputs provide the rapid switching required for solenoid valves. The dedicated High-Speed FET supports pulse train outputs (PTO) for basic motion control.

• High-Density Small Footprint: Despite hosting 40 I/O points, the unit maintains a slim profile. This design allows engineers to maximize cabinet space and reduce the need for additional expansion racks in crowded control panels.

• Precision High-Speed Sensing: Four specialized "Fast" inputs capture pulses that standard PLC scans might miss. These inputs integrate seamlessly with high-speed counters for flow metering or encoder feedback applications.

• Industrial Hardening: The controller withstands 30G of operating shock and 5G vibration. This ruggedized build protects internal logic from the mechanical stress of heavy-duty manufacturing environments, such as stamping presses or high-speed packaging lines.

FAQs

• Can the 1762-L40BXBR communicate with third-party devices?

  Yes. The controller supports Modbus RTU Slave and ASCII protocols. This allows you to integrate the PLC with variable frequency drives (VFDs), barcode scanners, and HMI terminals from various manufacturers without expensive gateways.

• What is the benefit of the "BXBR" designation over standard relay models?

  The "BXBR" suffix indicates a 24V DC power supply with a mixed output configuration (Relay and FET). Standard relay models often lack the high-speed switching capabilities necessary for precision PWM or high-frequency cycling tasks that the FET outputs handle easily.

• Does this unit require a battery for program retention?

  The MicroLogix 1200 utilizes non-volatile flash memory to store the user program. While the internal RAM holds data during short power cycles, we recommend an optional battery module (1747-BA) if your application requires long-term retention of variable data during extended power-offs.

• Is this a Brand New unit?

  Absolutely. We guarantee that every 1762-L40BXBR we ship is 100% Brand New in its original factory packaging. We do not sell refurbished, used, or "open-box" items.
