Logix Platforms Allen-Bradley Logix platforms provide a single integrated-control architecture for discrete,
drives, motion, process, and safety control.
The Logix platforms provide a common control engine, programming software
environment, and communication support across multiple hardware platforms. All Logix
controllers operate with a multitasking, multiprocessing operating system and support the
same set of instructions in multiple programming languages. One RSLogix 5000
programming-software package programs all Logix controllers. And, as part of the
Integrated Architecture platform, all Logix controllers offer the benefits of the Common
Industrial Protocol (CIP) to communicate via EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, and DeviceNet
networks.

CompactFlash Card
The CompactFlash card offers nonvolatile memory (flash) to permanently store a user
program and tag data on a controller. The 1769-L3x and 1768-L4x controllers support a
CompactFlash card.
Controller Battery
The 1769-L23x and 1769-L3x controllers come with one 1769-BA lithium battery.
The 1768 controller does not require a battery. The controller uses internal flash memory
to store its program during shutdown. Energy stored in the 1768 power supply maintains
controller power long enough to store the program to internal flash memory (not the
external CompactFlash card).

You can add up to two additional 1769 modules to the right of the controller package. The
modules you can add depend on their current draw. Each packaged controller has the
following amount of 5V DC bus current.
The RPI (request packet interval) defines the frequency at which the controller sends and
receives all I/O data on the backplane. The default RPI is 5 ms. The combination of
embedded I/O in the packaged controllers determines the fastest RPI you can configure.

There is one RPI for the entire 1769 backplane (1...750 ms). As you install modules, the
minimum backplane RPI increases. The RPI (request packet interval) defines the frequency
at which the controller sends and receives all I/O data on the backplane.
You can always select an RPI that is slower than listed above. These considerations show

Follow these guidelines as you place 1769 modules to the right of the 1768 backplane.
y As many as eight 1769 modules can be attached to the right of the 1768 system.
y The 1769 I/O connected directly to the 1768 backplane does not need a 1769 power
supply. Never put a 1769 power supply in the 1768 system. Putting a 1769 power
supply in the 1768 system causes the controller to generate a major fault that cannot
be cleared until you remove the 1769 power supply.
y Additional 1769 modules must be in additional I/O banks.
y Each additional I/O bank must have its own 1769 power supply.
Configure an individual RPI for each local 1769 I/O module. Use the default RPI numbers
that the software automatically assigns or select faster RPIs as fast as 1 millisecond. I/O
update times do not affect overall 1768 bus performance, such as motion performance or
controller performance.
y Use faster RPIs for time critical I/O without impacting overall 1769 I/O performance.
y Use Immediate Output (IOT) instructions for further reduction in I/O update times.

How a Logix System A Logix system uses a connection to establish a communication link between two
devices. Connections can be:
Uses Connections y controller to local I/O modules or local communication modules.
y controller to remote I/O or remote communication modules.
y controller to remote I/O (rack-optimized) modules.
y produced and consumed tags.
y messages.
You indirectly determine the number of connections the controller uses by configuring the
controller to communicate with other devices in the system.
Method Description
A scheduled connection is unique to ControlNet communication. A scheduled connection
lets you send and receive data repeatedly at a predetermined interval, which is the
requested packet interval (RPI). For example, a connection to an I/O module is a scheduled
Scheduled connection connection because you repeatedly receive data from the module at a specified interval.
Other scheduled connections include connections to:
• Highest level of determinism
y communication devices.
• Unique to the ControlNet network
y produced/consumed tags.
On a ControlNet network, you must use RSNetWorx for ControlNet software to enable all
scheduled connections and establish a network update time (NUT).
Unscheduled connection An unscheduled connection is a message transfer between controllers that is triggered by
• Deterministic the requested packet interval (RPI) or the program (such as a MSG instruction).
Unscheduled messaging lets you send and receive data when needed.
• Used by both ControlNet and EtherNet/IP
networks All EtherNet/IP connections are unscheduled.
Unconnected message An unconnected message is a message that does not require connection resources. An
• Least deterministic unconnected message is sent as a single request/response.
The controller you select determines the connections for I/O and messages.
The total connection requirements for a 1769 CompactLogix system include both local
and remote (distributed) connections. The controller supports 100 connections. The
available remote connections depend on the network interface.

inductive devices, such as relays, motor starters, solenoids, or motors. Additional
suppression is especially important if your inductive device is in series with or parallel to
hard contacts, such as push buttons or selector switches.
Add a suppression device directly across the coil of an inductive device to reduce the
effects of voltage transients caused by interrupting the current to that device and to
prolong the life of the switch contacts.

input’s transition. If the Boolean expression is true, the output is directed to the ON state.
If the Boolean expression is false, the output channel is directed to the OFF state. There
are four operators that you can configure as OR, AND, XOR, or none.
Use a 1769-ARM address reserve module to reserve module slots. After creating an I/O

Wiring Systems As an alternative to buying RTBs and connecting the wires yourself, you can buy a wiring
system of:
y interface modules (IFMs) that provide the output terminal blocks for digital I/O modules.
Use the pre-wired cables that match the I/O module to the IFM.
y analog interface modules (AIFMs) that provide the output terminal blocks for analog I/O
modules. Use the pre-wired cables that match the I/O module to the AIFM.
y I/O module-ready cables. One end of the cable assembly is an RTB that plugs into the
front of the I/O module. The other end has individually color-coded conductors that
connect to a standard terminal block.
PanelConnect Modules A PanelConnect module and its sensor connection system connect sensors directly to I/O
modules using convenient pre-built cables and connectors.
The PanelConnect module mounts on the enclosure and creates the correct seal for the
entry of the sensor connections. You do not need to seal the opening where the sensor
cables enter the enclosure, create custom connectors, or wire to those custom
connectors.

Place Compact I/O You can DIN-rail or panel mount the controller and I/O modules. The number of local I/O
modules supported depends on the controller.
Modules
This Controller Supports Location Considerations
1769-L23E-QB1B The additional modules are connected directly to the
Right side of the
1769-L23E-QBFC1B 2 local modules packaged controller. There are no additional banks of
packaged controller
1769-L23-QBFC1B local I/O.
Each 1769 I/O module has a distance rating. In 1769 systems, the distance rating is the
number of modules between the specific module and the 1769 power supply. In a 1768
system, the distance rating is the number of modules between the specific I/O module
and the 1768 controller.
Expansion Cables
With 1769-L3x and 1768-L4x controllers, if you divide 1769 modules into multiple banks,
make sure:
y each bank needs its own power supply.
y use expansion cables to connect the banks.
y the last I/O bank requires an end cap.
How you orient I/O banks determines which expansion cables you need to connect the
I/O banks.
End Caps
The final I/O bank in 1769-L3x and 1768-L4x controller systems needs an end cap on the
end without the expansion cable. The 1769-L23x controller comes with a right-end cap, so
you do not need to order one separately.

1768 Power Supplies The 1768 backplane requires one 1768 power supply. The power supply is a dual input
supply that operates in multiple ranges. The power supply also offers a 24V dc external
power source. The CompactLogix power supply requires that a 1768 CompactLogix
controller be installed to power the system.
• The power supply sends 24V dc to the controller located in slot 0.
• The controller converts the 24V dc to 5V dc and 24V dc and distributes it as needed.
– 5V and 24V power to 1769 I/O modules on the right side of the controller
– 24V power to 1768 modules on the left side of the controller
The 1768 modules do not have a distance rating to the 1768 power supply. For the 1769
I/O modules in the 1768 system, the distance rating is from the controller and not the
1768 power supply.

RSLogix Emulate 5000 RSLogix Emulate 5000 software (9310-WED200ENE) is the emulation package for the
Logix5000 controllers. RSLogix Emulate 5000 software, used in conjunction with RSLogix
Software 5000 software, lets you run and debug your application code while at your computer. In
addition, RSLogix Emulate 5000 software lets you test HMI screens, developed in RSView
software for example, without the need to connect to a real controller.
You can set tracepoint and breakpoint instructions (ladder diagram only) in your
application code, use traces, and also vary the execution speed of the emulator. RSLogix
Emulate 5000 software supports all the programming languages (ladder diagram, function
block diagram, structured text, and sequential function chart). RSLogix Emulate 5000
software does not allow for control of real I/O.
Use RSLogix Emulate software for:
y troubleshooting.
Stop the process whenever a selected rung goes true, effectively freezing the process at
the instant that any error occurs.
y ladder logic scanning options.
Scan your ladder logic continuously, one program scan at a time, rung-by-rung, or select
a specific block of rungs to emulate. Selecting a block of rungs lets you isolate a
particular section of the program for testing purposes. You can also set trace points to
trace application program tags and set break points to halt program execution at
predetermined locations.
RSLogix Emulate 5000 software includes RSTestStand Lite software. RSTestStand Lite
software lets you create virtual operator consoles that can help test your application code.
RSTestStand Lite software can be upgraded to the standard version by ordering catalog
number 9310-TSTNDENE.
RSLogix Emulate 5000 and RSTestStand Lite software are included with RSLogix 5000
Professional software.
