First Choice in Medium-sized Controllers
Featuring the big two essential features of online editing and EtherNet/IP port for programming and peer-to-peer messaging, the MicroLogix 1400 controller is one of the two in the MicroLogix range we recommend. Also featuring a built-in LCD screen for various functions, fast (100kHz) DC inputs and a digital trim pot for setting variable program parameters.
LCD Display and Cursor / Data Entry Buttons
The selector buttons are a bit dodgy, often requiring multiple presses to get the touch right, but the display is a valuable addition to the unit providing the following functions:
- display of controller status, I/O status,
- simple operator messages,
- entry of configuration data such as network address
- bit and integer data table manipulation.
Other MicroLogix 1400 Features
- Datalogging and Recipe Storage
- Floating Point mathematics capability
- 6 Fast (100kHz) DC inputs on the base unit for pulse counting from flow meters, encoders etc.
- Pulse Train Output (PTO) and Pulse Width Modulation for positioning applications.
- RJ-45 port for EtherNet/IP, DNP3 over IP, and Modbus TCP.
- Embedded Web Server for displaying data registers in tabular form
- One RS-232 / RS-485 Combo Port for a range of protocols – DF1, DH-485, Modbus RTU Master/Slave, ASCII, DNP3 Slave.
- Non-volatile battery backed RAM
- Embedded Real Time Clock
- Accessible with both RSLogix500 and RSLogix Micro Programming Software.
MicroLogix 1400 Limitations
- EtherNet/IP is limited to peer to peer messaging and programming – there is no ability to connect distributed IO such as PointIO or FlexIO over this channel.
