MicroLogix 1200 Controllers

Product Overview

System Overview

The MicroLogix 1200/1762 system provides functionality between the MicroLogix 1000/1761 and MicroLogix 1500/1764 systems, using the proven MicroLogix and SLC family architecture. The 6K-word memory provides for a maximum program of 4K words and maximum data of 2K words with 100% data retention. An optional memory module provides program and data backup with program upload and download capability. The optional real-time clock enables time scheduling of control activities. The flash upgradeable operating system lets you upgrade system software without replacing hardware.



Benefits

• Small Footprint—The MicroLogix 1200 controller is designed to optimize panel space. Integrated packages just 90mm (3.54 in) high (110mm high including mounting tabs) and 110 or 160mm (4.33 or 6.30 in) wide include processor, embedded inputs and outputs, and power supply. Expansion I/O modules add only 40mm (1.57 in) each in width.
  
• Flexibility—A range of I/O and communication options let you configure a MicroLogix 1200 controller for a variety of applications:
  
  • 24 or 40 built-in I/O. The inputs are either 24V DC (sink or source) or 120V AC. Outputs are relay contact or FET.
    
  • Add up to 96 I/O in up to 6 digital and/or analog I/O modules (within the limits of power supply capacity, for a total of 136 I/O maximum).
    
• Wide range of communication options:
  
  • DF1 full- or half-duplex, DF1 Radio Modem, Modbus RTU slave and RTU master. Communication interface modules support DH-485, DeviceNet, and EtherNet/IP.
    
  • MicroLogix 1200R controllers also provide a Programming / HMI port with fixed communication parameters to provide an additional means to communicate to the controller.
    
• High Functionality—The MicroLogix 1200 / 1762 system provides powerful features that let you tackle tough applications:
  
  • 20k-Hz high-speed counter.
    
  • 20k-Hz PTO (Pulse Train Output) or PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).
    
  • 6K-word non-volatile memory (4K-word maximum program, 2K-word maximum data).
    
  • 4 interrupt inputs.
    
  • 4 latching inputs.
    
  • 2 built-in trim potentiometers.
    
  • optional memory, real-time clock, or memory/real-time clock module.
    
  • powerful instruction set with support for PID and ASCII.
    
  • uses RSLogix 500 programming software.
    
  • field-upgradeable flash operating system.
    
• Low Price—This compact but powerful control solution will fit well within your budget.
  

Product Design

The MicroLogix 1200 controller and expansion I/O modules provide a modular, rackless control system designed for ease of installation and maintenance. Each MicroLogix 1200 controller includes a processor, built-in I/O, and power supply. Expansion I/O modules install to the right of the controller. Cables built into the I/O modules provide connection to the adjacent I/O module or controller. Controllers and I/O modules can be mounted either on a panel or on a DIN-rail. I/O on both controller and expansion I/O modules have finger-safe terminal blocks to meet global safety standards. The 40-I/O controllers have removable terminal blocks to facilitate ease of wiring and maintenance.

• Four latching or pulse-catch inputs—Latching inputs let the controller capture and hold very brief (microsecond) signals for input processing.
  
• 20k Hz high-speed counter—The built-in independent high-speed counter uses 32-bit integers for extended range, features 8 modes of operation, and supports direct control of outputs independent of program scan.
  
• Programmable Limit Switch Function—The Programmable Limit Switch function allows you to configure the high-speed counter to operate as a programmable limit switch or rotary cam switch.
  
• Trim potentiometers—Two built-in 3/4-turn analog trim potentiometers with a digital output (range from 0 to 250) allow quick and easy adjustments of timers, counters, setpoints, and more.
  
• Program data security—Data file download protection lets a program be reloaded into the controller without overwriting protected data.
  
• Floating Point Data Files—You can create data files that can contain up to 256 IEEE-754 floating point values.
  
• Memory, real-time clock, or memory/real-time clock modules—Memory backup provides protection and transportability for programs and data. The real-time clock lets you easily solve time/date scheduling applications, and can be synchronized with an external source via a program instruction.
  
• Four interrupt inputs—Interrupt inputs let the controller scan a specific program file (subroutine) when an input condition is detected from a sensor or field device.
  

Operator Interfaces

Many Allen-Bradley operator interface products can be used with MicroLogix 1200 controllers. The PanelView 300 Micro operator interface is a small, low cost, easy-to-use operator interface that is designed for use with the MicroLogix 1200 controller.

Communication

The MicroLogix 1200 controllers provide an RS-232C port. MicroLogix 1200R controllers provide an second RS-232C port that supports DF1 full-duplex protocol only. This second port lets you connect the controller to a computer running RSLogix 500 programming software or connect to an HMI device, such as a PanelView display, without removing the existing connection or requiring a network connection.

The RS-232C port available on all MicroLogix 1200 and 1200R controllers can be used for the following types of communication:

Communication	Description
Point-to-point communication	• Supports direct connection of programming and operator interface devices, and supports dial-in remote programming.
DF1 protocol	• DF1 full-duplex, DF1 half-duplex master and slave, report-by-exception, and peer-to-peer data exchange.
DF1 radio modem protocol	• Transmit data efficiently through the DF1 radio modem protocol. • Each read/write transaction requires only one TX from initiator and one TX from the responder, so “key-ups” and power consumption are minimized. • For more information see the MicroLogix 1200 and 1500 Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication 1762-RM001.
ASCII	• A full ASCII command set for the RS-232-C port allows read and write with ASCII devices.
Modbus RTU master and slave protocols	• Modbus communication is supported through the RS-232-C port.
DH-485 communication	• Connect to a DH-485 network through an Advanced Interface Converter (1761-NET-AIC). • The DH-485 network may connect up to 32 devices.
DeviceNet communication	• Connect to a DeviceNet network of up to 64 devices through a DeviceNet Interface (1761-NET-DNI). • The DeviceNet Interface provides slave I/O, peer-to-peer, and program upload/download capability.
EtherNet/IP communication	• Connect to an EtherNet/IP network through an EtherNet/IP-to-RS-232-C interface (1761-NET-ENI, 1761-NET-ENIW). • This module supports program monitoring and upload/download, data collection, and controller peer-to-peer communication. • It can also send e-mail messages via SMTP and display status and configuration information through a built-in Internet server.
