Allen-Bradley 1761-L32AWA MicroLogix 1000 Logic Controller

The Allen-Bradley 1761-L32AWA is a fixed-configuration programmable logic controller from the MicroLogix 1000 product family. This compact controller integrates 20 digital 120 VAC inputs and 12 relay outputs, operating across a 120/240 VAC power supply range to manage discrete automation and machine control tasks.

Technical Specifications

Controller Architecture and I/O Configuration

The 1761-L32AWA provides a fixed input/output density tailored for applications operating directly on standard alternating current power lines. It features 20 digital input channels designed for 120 VAC signals, paired with 12 isolated electromechanical relay outputs. This relay-based output structure enables the controller to switch mixed-voltage loads or AC/DC control circuits without requiring interposing solid-state drivers.

Installation and Mechanical Mounting

The controller is engineered for standard DIN rail mounting within industrial control panels, utilizing secure screw terminal blocks for field wiring connections. Its compact footprint and integrated AC power architecture eliminate the requirement for a separate rack-mounted power supply unit in small-scale standalone control panels.
