Allen‑Bradley 1756-L71 ControlLogix Logix5571 Programmable Automation Controller
Product Description
The 1756-L71 is the Logix5571 controller for Rockwell Allen‑Bradley ControlLogix platform. Equipped with 2MB user memory and 0.98MB I/O memory, it executes control logic, handles I/O data exchange, motion control and communication tasks for medium and large-scale automation systems. It has one built-in USB 2.0 local programming port for program download, upload and diagnostics. The controller communicates with I/O modules via ControlLogix backplane, and works with external communication cards (such as 1756-EN2TR) to connect EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet networks. It supports up to 32 tasks, 100 motion axes and maximum 128,000 digital I/O / 4,000 analog I/O points. An SD card slot is available for non-volatile program backup, and an energy storage capacitor module (1756-ESMCAP) preserves data during brief power loss. It is a hot-swappable single-slot rack module widely used for process and discrete industrial automation.
