Description
The Allen-Bradley 1756-L72S is a Logix 5572S Automation Controller 4M/2M, listed by Rockwell Automation with the lifecycle status Active Mature. According to Rockwell technical data 1756-TD001, it has 4 MB user memory, 2 MB safety memory and 0.98 MB I/O memory. It supports up to 128,000 total I/O, of which up to 4000 can be analog, and ships with a pre-installed 1 GB SD card (1784-SD1). Rockwell gives its power dissipation as 2.5 W and its current draw as 800 mA at 5.1V DC.
Application: PLC controller
Used with: ControlLogix 1756 chassis
What is the 1756-L72S used for?
Rockwell lists this GuardLogix controller for standard and safety control over EtherNet/IP, ControlNet and DeviceNet. For the safety task it supports Ladder Diagram only, while standard tasks can use Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram and Sequential Function Chart. It is chassis-based and fits any slot, and Rockwell states that both modules are needed, each taking one slot.
