About the Allen-Bradley 1756-A7

The 1756-A7 is a 7 slot ControlLogix chassis. Backplane current is 15 A per chassis and 6 A per slot at 5.1V DC, and 4 A per chassis and per slot at 3.3V DC. It dissipates up to 4.5 W and weighs approximately 1.10 kg (2.4 lb). It mounts horizontally only, in a cabinet of at least 50.8 x 61.0 x 20.3 cm (20 x 24 x 8 in.).

What is the 1756-A7 used for?

It holds the power supply, controller and modules of a mid-size ControlLogix system, carrying 1.2V, 3.3V, 5.1V and 24V DC on its backplane. Isolation voltage depends on the installed power supply and modules. It is open-style, for panel mounting.
