The MicroLogix 1000 micro-PLC can handle a wide variety of big-time applications at 32 I/O or below, while using only a fraction of the space of a full-size controller – at a fraction of the price. Here's a few reasons why you can choose them with confidence:

Choices
The MicroLogix 1000 line offers 14 models (11 discrete models with 10-, 16-, and 32-point configurations and three analog models with five analog and 20 discrete I/O points).

Advanced networking
An RS-232 port provides the MicroLogix 1000 family with network connectivity through the DH485 peer-to-peer network>. Using the DeviceNet Interface (DNI) brings the fast response, low cost and reliability of open DeviceNet connectivity to all 14 MicroLogix models. SCADA/RTU and point-to-point communications capabilities are available via the DF1 Half- and Full-Duplex protocols.

Flexible I/O technology
Broad input and output specifications provide a flexible control solution.

• Input options: AC, DC and analog (current or voltage)
• Output options: relay, TRIAC, MOSFET and analog (current or voltage)
• Both AC and DC powered controllers are available

There are multiple input voltages and multiple output types: solid state for extended life and speed, and relay for current-carrying. Multiple output commons maximize your application’s flexibility, and analog solutions are also available.

Micro-scopic size
The MicroLogix 1000 is ideal for tight applications where other alternatives won’t fit. The 16 I/O DC-powered unit, for example, is one of the smallest micros around – only 120 x 80 x 40 mm (4.72 x 3.15 x 1.57 in.).

Blazing speed
When the name of the game is speed, the MicroLogix 1000 is tough to beat. Execution for a typical 500-instruction program is only 1.56 ms, with a throughput of a mere 1.85 ms.

High-capacity programming
MicroLogix has a large, 1K user memory capacity ... and makes the most of it.

• Windows 95®, Windows NT or DOS-based software supports relay ladder logic
• Instruction list programming via HHP (Hand Held Programmer) provides advanced diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities in the field
• Powerful instructions include message (peer-to-peer communications), high-level math, data handling, comparisons, LIFO, FIFO ... and more
• Subroutine files enhance memory organization
• Application program has more than 735 words
• More than 250 data words available
• Data elements include 512 bits, 40 timers, 32 counters, 16 control files, 105 integer files, and 33 diagnostic states

Numerous language choices
Software and documentation are available in five languages. The HHP has six languages built in.

Comprehensive instruction set
MicroLogix has the range of functionality you need to address diverse applications, with 12 basic logic instructions, 43 applied control instructions, and 14 advanced application-specific instructions, including:

• Superior high-speed counter ... advanced high-speed capabilities (up to 6.6 kHz) minimize scan time no matter how complex the program
• Drum sequencer ... condenses a large programming task into a single instruction, conserving memory and simplifying programs
• Excellent for simple repetitive processes like die changes, press and assembly operations
• FIFO/LIFO data stack ... simplifies data storage and retrieval for assembly transfer lines, inventory control, and system diagnostics
• Selectable timed interrupt ... periodically interrupts program to execute a subroutine
• Adjustable from 10 to 2550 ms in 10 ms increments for time averaging or applications that require periodic lubrication
