Description
A-B 1764-24BWA Controller
Product Dimensions:
The Allen-Bradley 1764-24BWA is the base unit (controller) for the MicroLogix 1500 programmable logic controller system. It is a highly versatile and expandable controller designed to bridge the gap between micro-PLCs and larger chassis-based systems.
Product Detailed Description
The 1764-24BWA consists of the Base Unit, which contains the power supply, embedded I/O, and the housing for the 1764-LRP or 1764-LSP Processor Unit. This modular design allows users to replace the processor without disturbing the field wiring, making maintenance significantly easier.
Technical Parameters
| Feature | Specification |
| Input Power | 120 V / 240 V AC |
| Total Embedded I/O | 24 points |
| Digital Inputs | (12) 24V DC Inputs (Fast/Standard) |
| Digital Outputs | (12) Relay Outputs |
| Expansion Capacity | Supports up to 16 1769 Compact I/O modules |
| Communication Port | RS-232 (Channel 0) |
| Real-Time Clock | Supported (via Processor or optional module) |
| Memory | Depends on Processor (LSP: 7K / LRP: 14K words) |
| Mounting | DIN Rail or Panel Mount |
Product Advantages
- Modular Architecture: By separating the processor from the base, Allen-Bradley allows for easier hardware upgrades and lower spare-parts inventory costs.
- High Expandability: It uses the same 1769 Compact I/O modules as the CompactLogix series, allowing for a massive range of digital, analog, and specialty modules.
- High-Speed Features: The embedded inputs support high-speed latching and pulse-catching functions, which are essential for fast-moving production lines.
- Robust Relay Outputs: The 12 relay outputs are isolated, allowing the control of different voltage levels (e.g., 24V DC and 120V AC) within the same unit.
- Reliability: The MicroLogix 1500 series is famous for its “tank-like” durability in harsh industrial environments.
Important Considerations (Precautions)
- Processor Requirement: Note that the 1764-24BWA is just the Base. It cannot function without a processor unit (1764-LSP or 1764-LRP) plugged into the front slot.
- Expansion Power: When adding 1769 I/O modules, you must calculate the Power Supply Distance Rating. If you add too many modules, the voltage may drop, requiring an additional expansion power supply.
- DC Input Power: While the Base is powered by AC, the inputs require an external 24V DC power source to trigger.
- Heat Dissipation: Ensure the controller is mounted horizontally. Vertical mounting can lead to overheating and premature failure of the internal power supply.
Product Applications
The 1764-24BWA is a “workhorse” found in various mid-sized automation tasks:
- Conveyor Control: Managing sorting, counting, and motor control in distribution centers.
- Packaging Machinery: Coordinating baggers, sealers, and labeling machines.
- Pump Control: Managing water pressure and flow in municipal pump stations.
- Material Handling: Controlling small lifts, palletizers, and robotic pick-and-place stations.
- Legacy Integration: Often used to replace older MicroLogix 1000 systems when more I/O or memory is required.
