MicroLogix 1000

The Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1000 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system is a platform for small-scale industrial applications. These PLCs come in 2 variants, with 16 or 32 I/Os whereby the users can select models with a different number of inputs and outputs. MicroLogix 1000 controllers come with AC or DC power supplies and the digital inputs can be AC or DC rated. Outputs from these PLCs can be relay outputs covering both AC and DC loads, Triac outputs that are able to work with AC loads, or MOSFET outputs dedicated to DC loads. The MicroLogix 1000 PLCs are designed using reliable technology, they have several programming options, and they have respectable execution speed for programming instructions. Therefore, they are widely installed in industrial automation applications and they can often be seen in industrial plants and machines.

The Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1000 PLCs are installed in various applications including building controls, custom machinery, cutting tools, furnaces, burners, dryers, civil engineering, specialized industrial machinery, food processing, material fluid handling, metalworking, and packaging machinery applications. These PLCs are programmed with the general ladder-programming technique, and users can use the MicroLogix 1000 Programming Software, Advanced Programming Software, and the Hand-Held Programmer for instruction input. The supported instruction package includes timers, sample bits, shift registers, counters, sequencers, and high-speed counters. When creating applications, the standard option for adjustable DC input filters on MicroLogix 1000 devices can be very useful. There is also an RS-232 connector on the device for computer connections.
