The 1762-L24AWA provides a compact and powerful programmable logic controller solution. This module from Rockwell Automation integrates a power supply and fourteen 120VAC digital inputs. Engineers benefit from ten robust relay outputs for demanding switching tasks.
Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Industrial procurement managers value the 1762-L24AWA for its reliable AC input handling. This controller operates on a supply voltage of 120 to 240VAC. The unit draws a maximum power of just 68 VA for efficiency. Its input circuit type specifically accepts 120VAC for seamless integration. This design eliminates the need for separate power supplies for inputs. The PLC supports ten relay outputs with a contact rating up to 240VAC. Each relay can switch a load current of at least 10 amps. You can trust the relay’s mechanical life of 20 million cycles. This longevity reduces the total cost of ownership significantly. The controller communicates via one 8-pin mini-DIN serial port. It supports multiple protocols like DF1, DH-485, ASCII, and MODBUS. This flexibility ensures compatibility with existing factory networks.
Application engineers will appreciate the fast 10ms ON/OFF relay times. The module provides a 5VDC output at 400 mA for internal use. It also supplies a 24VDC output at 350 mA for sensors. The ON-state voltage for inputs ranges from 79 to 132VAC. The OFF-state voltage sits safely between 0 to 20VAC. This clear threshold prevents false triggering in noisy environments. The input impedance is 10kOhms at 60Hz for accurate sensing. The maximum inrush current per input is 250 mA at 120V. This robust design handles transient loads without damage. The PLC operates in temperatures from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius. It withstands operational vibration of 1.5G at 10 to 500 Hertz. The unit also resists a 15G operational shock for durability. These specs ensure reliable performance in typical factory conditions. The panel dimensions are 90 x 160 x 87 millimeters for mounting.
Step-by-Step User & Installation Guide
Mount the 1762-L24AWA controller horizontally on a DIN rail. The unit’s height is 90 mm, expanding to 104 mm with the latch. Ensure the environment is clean and dry for the controller. Do not exceed Over Voltage Category II for safe operation. Connect the AC power supply to the designated input terminals. The supply voltage must be between 100 and 240VAC. The frequency range should be 47 to 63 Hertz for stability. Expect an inrush current of 25A for 8ms at 120VAC. At 240VAC, the inrush is 40A for 4ms, so plan accordingly. Wire the fourteen 120VAC input signals to the input block. Each input requires an ON-state current between 5 and 16 mA. Ensure the OFF-state leakage current does not exceed 2.5 mA. Connect the ten relay output devices to the output terminals. Each output group supports a maximum load of 8 amps. The total controller load at 240VAC is 20 amps. Follow local electrical codes for all wiring connections. Use the 8-pin mini-DIN port for initial serial programming. Verify the protocol settings for DF1, MODBUS, or ASCII communication. The storage temperature range is -40 to 85 degrees Celsius for safety. The relative humidity should stay between 5 and 95 percent non-condensing. Weighing only 2.0 pounds, the module is easy to handle.
