Product Overview

The 1761‑L16AWA is a compact, highly integrated programmable logic controller from Rockwell Automation’s Allen‑Bradley MicroLogix™ 1000 family. This all‑in‑one unit combines the processor, power supply, and all necessary I/O circuits into a single, space‑saving package, designed specifically for small‑scale automation and standalone machine control applications-5. As part of the Bulletin 1761 product line, the 1761‑L16AWA delivers an economical yet powerful solution for controlling a wide variety of industrial equipment, including motors, pneumatic actuators, and conveyor systems.

The 1761‑L16AWA features a total of 16 built‑in I/O points, comprising 10 digital inputs accepting 120V AC signals and 6 relay outputs capable of switching both AC and DC loads-2-3. The controller is powered directly from a 120/240V AC supply, with a wide operating range of 85‑264V AC, making it suitable for global use-2. With 1K of EEPROM user memory, the 1761‑L16AWA supports approximately 737 instruction words and 437 data words, providing ample capacity for small control programs-2-3. An integrated RS‑232 communication port, configurable for the DF1 full‑duplex protocol, enables direct connection to a programming terminal or operator interface device-5. The 1761‑L16AWA is a legacy product that has been discontinued by the manufacturer, but its robust design and straightforward functionality continue to make it a valuable component in numerous existing industrial systems-2.
