About 1756-L71

The 1756-L71 controller ships with three capacitor energy storage modules, two of which are removable. It has a current draw of 5 mA at 1.2 Volts DC and 800 mA at 5.1 Volts DC. The 1756-L71 controller also has a continuous isolation voltage of 30 Volts, a maximum power dissipation of 2.5 Watts, and a thermal dissipation of 8.5 BTU/hour. It has a maximum analog I/O, digital I/O, and a total I/O of 4,000, 128,000, as well as 128,000, respectively. It has an operating temperature range of 0 to 60 Degrees Celsius and a storage temperature range of -40 to 85 Degrees Celsius. Its maximum surrounding air temperature is 60 degrees Celsius and it has a noncondensing relative humidity of 5% to 95%. The controller has a vibration of 2G at 10 to 500 Hertz, an operating shock of 30G, and a non-operating shock of 50G that goes down to 45G when the SD card is installed.Other controllers may require the user to understand first PLC registers specifically Byte and Bit in order to start addressing program elements. With 1756-L71, the user simply needs to insert a program element and select the logical channel to where the I/O is physically wired. This feature enables quick start and faster software familiarization. In other PLCs, the user may find the need to move a register to another to initiate conversion and processing just to get the analog data. This controller simply requires the user to find the logical channel where the I/O signal is physically terminated.
