The Allen-Bradley 1764-24BWA is a robust base unit from the MicroLogix 1500 series. It offers modular housing for processors, memory modules, and real-time clocks. This unit becomes a fully functional PLC when paired with a compatible processor.
Key Features
Integrated I/O and Communication
The 1764-24BWA comes with eight standard 24V DC inputs, four high-speed 20 kHz inputs, and twelve relay outputs. It includes an RS-232 communication port supporting DF1 protocol in full or half duplex mode. This enables connections to devices like HMIs, SCADA systems, and gateways.
Expandable Design
This base unit supports installation of 1769 Compact I/O modules. Users can enhance functionality through direct module attachment or use an expansion rack with a 1769 expansion cable.
Power and Mounting Options
The unit operates with 85 to 265 Volts AC line power. It consumes 88 VA and delivers 24V DC sensor power at up to 400 mA. It can be installed using a DIN rail or mounting screws, requiring a two-inch clearance on all sides for proper ventilation.
