Rockwell Automation has added the MicroLogix 1400 controller to the Allen-Bradley MicroLogix family.
The new controller builds on the online editing, Ethernet/IP and embedded LCD features of the MicroLogix 1100, while providing additional improvements. It is available with an embedded I/O count of up to 38, and can support up to seven additional I/O modules for a maximum of 144 discrete I/O points.
Other features include up to six embedded 100kHz high-speed counters and removable terminal blocks. The controllers can also support 10,000 programme words and 10,000 words for data, as well as a memory module for programme backup and transport, and data log or recipe storing.
The MicroLogix 1400 is suitable for general industrial machinery applications and machines used in food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
There are six variations: three without embedded analogue I/O at Euro 568 and three variations with six embedded analogue I/O at €711.
