Safety Considerations
ATTENTION
Vertical mounting of the controller is not
recommended due to heat build-up considerations.
ATTENTION
Be careful of metal chips when drilling mounting
holes for your controller or other equipment within
the enclosure or panel. Drilled fragments that fall
into the controller or I/O modules could cause
damage. Do not drill holes above a mounted
controller if the protective debris shields are
removed or the processor is installed.
Safety considerations are an important element of proper system
installation. Actively thinking about the safety of yourself and others,
as well as the condition of your equipment, is of primary importance.
We recommend reviewing the following safety considerations.

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Do not replace components or disconnect equipment
unless power has been switched off.
The main power disconnect switch should be located where operators
and maintenance personnel have quick and easy access to it. In
addition to disconnecting electrical power, all other sources of power
(pneumatic and hydraulic) should be de-energized before working on
a machine or process controlled by a controller.
Safety Circuits
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Do not connect or disconnect connectors while
circuit is live.
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
Circuits installed on the machine for safety reasons, like overtravel
limit switches, stop push buttons, and interlocks, should always be
hard-wired directly to the master control relay. These devices must be
wired in series so that when any one device opens, the master control
relay is de-energized, thereby removing power to the machine. Never
alter these circuits to defeat their function. Serious injury or machine
damage could result.
Page 21
Install Your Controller 2-5
Power Distribution
There are some points about power distribution that you should
know:
• The master control relay must be able to inhibit all machine
motion by removing power to the machine I/O devices when
the relay is de-energized. It is recommended that the controller
remain powered even when the master control relay is
de-energized.
• If you are using a dc power supply, interrupt the load side rather
than the ac line power. This avoids the additional delay of
power supply turn-off. The dc power supply should be powered
directly from the fused secondary of the transformer. Power to
the dc input and output circuits should be connected through a
set of master control relay contacts.
Power Considerations
Periodic Tests of Master Control Relay Circuit
Any part can fail, including the switches in a master control relay
circuit. The failure of one of these switches would most likely cause
an open circuit, which would be a safe power-off failure. However, if
one of these switches shorts out, it no longer provides any safety
protection. These switches should be tested periodically to assure they
will stop machine motion when needed.
The following explains power considerations for the micro controllers.
Isolation Transformers
You may want to use an isolation transformer in the ac line to the
controller. This type of transformer provides isolation from your
power distribution system to reduce the electrical noise that enters the
controller and is often used as a step-down transformer to reduce line
voltage. Any transformer used with the controller must have a
sufficient power rating for its load. The power rating is expressed in
volt-amperes (VA).
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
Page 22
2-6 Install Your Controller
Power Supply Inrush
During power-up, the MicroLogix 1200 power supply allows a brief
inrush current to charge internal capacitors. Many power lines and
control transformers can supply inrush current for a brief time. If the
power source cannot supply this inrush current, the source voltage
may sag momentarily.
The only effect of limited inrush current and voltage sag on the
MicroLogix 1200 is that the power supply capacitors charge more
slowly. However, the effect of a voltage sag on other equipment
should be considered. For example, a deep voltage sag may reset a
computer connected to the same power source. The following
considerations determine whether the power source must be required
to supply high inrush current:
• The power-up sequence of devices in a system.
• The amount of the power source voltage sag if the inrush
current cannot be supplied.
• The effect of voltage sag on other equipment in the system.
If the entire system is powered-up at the same time, a brief sag in the
power source voltage typically will not affect any equipment.
Loss of Power Source
The power supply is designed to withstand brief power losses without
affecting the operation of the system. The time the system is
operational during power loss is called ‘program scan hold-up time
after loss of power’. The duration of the power supply hold-up time
depends on the type and state of the I/O, but is typically between 10
milliseconds and 3 seconds. When the duration of power loss reaches
this limit, the power supply signals the processor that it can no longer
provide adequate dc power to the system. This is referred to as a
power supply shutdown. The processor then performs an orderly
shutdown of the controller.
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
Page 23
Install Your Controller 2-7
Input States on Power Down
The power supply hold-up time as described above is generally
longer than the turn-on and turn-off times of the inputs. Because of
this, the input state change from ‘On’ to ‘Off’ that occurs when power
is removed may be recorded by the processor before the power
supply shuts down the system. Understanding this concept is
important. The user program should be written to take this effect into
account.
Other Types of Line Conditions
Occasionally the power source to the system can be temporarily
interrupted. It is also possible that the voltage level may drop
substantially below the normal line voltage range for a period of time.
Both of these conditions are considered to be a loss of power for the
system.
Prevent Excessive Heat
For most applications, normal convective cooling keeps the controller
within the specified operating range. Ensure that the specified
temperature range is maintained. Proper spacing of components
within an enclosure is usually sufficient for heat dissipation.
In some applications, a substantial amount of heat is produced by
other equipment inside or outside the enclosure. In this case, place
blower fans inside the enclosure to assist in air circulation and to
reduce “hot spots” near the controller.
Additional cooling provisions might be necessary when high ambient
temperatures are encountered.
TIP
Do not bring in unfiltered outside air. Place the
controller in an enclosure to protect it from a
corrosive atmosphere. Harmful contaminants or dirt
could cause improper operation or damage to
components. In extreme cases, you may need to use
air conditioning to protect against heat build-up
within the enclosure.
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
Page 24
2-8 Install Your Controller
Master Control Relay
A hard-wired master control relay (MCR) provides a reliable means for
emergency machine shutdown. Since the master control relay allows
the placement of several emergency-stop switches in different
locations, its installation is important from a safety standpoint.
Overtravel limit switches or mushroom-head push buttons are wired
in series so that when any of them opens, the master control relay is
de-energized. This removes power to input and output device circuits.
Refer to the figures on pages 2-10 and 2-11.
ATTENTION
Never alter these circuits to defeat their function
since serious injury and/or machine damage could
result.
TIP
If you are using an external dc power supply,
interrupt the dc output side rather than the ac line
side of the supply to avoid the additional delay of
power supply turn-off.
The ac line of the dc output power supply should be
fused.
Connect a set of master control relays in series with
the dc power supplying the input and output
circuits.
Place the main power disconnect switch where operators and
maintenance personnel have quick and easy access to it. If you mount
a disconnect switch inside the controller enclosure, place the switch
operating handle on the outside of the enclosure, so that you can
disconnect power without opening the enclosure.
Whenever any of the emergency-stop switches are opened, power to
input and output devices should be removed.
When you use the master control relay to remove power from the
external I/O circuits, power continues to be provided to the
controller’s power supply so that diagnostic indicators on the
processor can still be observed.
The master control relay is not a substitute for a disconnect to the
controller. It is intended for any situation where the operator must
quickly de-energize I/O devices only. When inspecting or installing
terminal connections, replacing output fuses, or working on
equipment within the enclosure, use the disconnect to shut off power
to the rest of the system.
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
Page 25
Install Your Controller 2-9
TIP
Do not control the master control relay with the
controller. Provide the operator with the safety of a
direct connection between an emergency-stop
switch and the master control relay.
Use Emergency-Stop Switches
When using emergency-stop switches, adhere to the following points:
• Do not program emergency-stop switches in the controller
program. Any emergency-stop switch should turn off all
machine power by turning off the master control relay.
• Observe all applicable local codes concerning the placement
and labeling of emergency-stop switches.
• Install emergency-stop switches and the master control relay in
your system. Make certain that relay contacts have a sufficient
rating for your application. Emergency-stop switches must be
easy to reach.
• In the following illustration, input and output circuits are shown
with MCR protection. However, in most applications, only
output circuits require MCR protection.
The following illustrations show the Master Control Relay wired in a
grounded system.
TIP
In most applications input circuits do not require
MCR protection; however, if you need to remove
power from all field devices, you must include MCR
contacts in series with input power wiring.

Connect Expansion I/O
The expansion I/O module is attached to the controller or another I/O
module by means of a flat ribbon cable after mounting, as shown
below.
Pull Loop
TIP
Use the pull loop on the connector to disconnect
modules. Do not pull on the ribbon cable.
TIP
ATTENTION
Up to six expansion I/O modules can be connected
to a controller depending upon the power supply
loading.
Remove power before removing or inserting an I/O
module. When you remove or insert a module with
power applied, an electrical arc may occur. An
electrical arc can cause personal injury or property
damage by:
• sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field
devices, causing the controller to fault
• causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on
both the module and its mating connector. Worn
contacts may create electrical resistance, reducing
product reliability.

Wire Requirements
ATTENTION
ATTENTION
• Allow for at least 50 mm (2 in) between I/O wiring ducts or
terminal strips and the controller.
• Route incoming power to the controller by a path separate from
the device wiring. Where paths must cross, their intersection
should be perpendicular.
Before you install and wire any device, disconnect
power to the controller system.
Calculate the maximum possible current in each
power and common wire. Observe all electrical
codes dictating the maximum current allowable for
each wire size. Current above the maximum ratings
may cause wiring to overheat, which can cause
damage.
United States Only: If the controller is installed
within a potentially hazardous environment, all
wiring must comply with the requirements stated in
the National Electrical Code 501-4 (b).

3-2 Wire Your Controller
TIP
Do not run signal or communication wiring and
power wiring in the same conduit. Wires with
different signal characteristics should be routed by
separate paths.
• Separate wiring by signal type. Bundle wiring with similar
electrical characteristics together.
• Separate input wiring from output wiring.
• Label wiring to all devices in the system. Use tape,
shrink-tubing, or other dependable means for labeling purposes.
In addition to labeling, use colored insulation to identify wiring
based on signal characteristics. For example, you may use blue
for dc wiring and red for ac wiring.

Wire without Spade Lugs
When wiring without spade lugs, it is recommended to keep the
finger-safe covers in place. Loosen the terminal screw and route the
wires through the opening in the finger-safe cover. Tighten the
terminal screw making sure the pressure plate secures the wire.
Finger-Safe Cover
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
Page 39
Wire Your Controller 3-3
Wire with Spade Lugs
The diameter of the terminal screw head is 5.5 mm (0.220 in.). The
input and output terminals of the MicroLogix 1200 controller are
designed for a 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) wide spade (standard for #6 screw
for up to 14 AWG) or a 4 mm (metric #4) fork terminal.
When using spade lugs, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver to pry the
finger-safe cover from the terminal blocks as shown below. Then
loosen the terminal screw.
Use Surge Suppressors
Because of the potentially high current surges that occur when
switching inductive load devices, such as motor starters and solenoids,
the use of some type of surge suppression to protect and extend the
operating life of the controllers output contacts is required. Switching
inductive loads without surge suppression can significantly reduce the
life expectancy of relay contacts. By adding a suppression device
directly across the coil of an inductive device, you prolong the life of
the output or relay contacts. You also reduce the effects of voltage
transients and electrical noise from radiating into adjacent systems.
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006

If the outputs are dc, we recommend that you use an 1N4004 diode
for surge suppression, as shown below. For inductive dc load devices,
a diode is suitable. A 1N4004 diode is acceptable for most
applications. A surge suppressor can also be used. See Table 3.2 for
recommended suppressors. As shown below, these surge suppression
circuits connect directly across the load device.

Ground the Controller
ATTENTION
All devices connected to the RS-232 channel must be referenced to controller ground, or
be floating (not referenced to a potential other than ground). Failure to follow this
procedure may result in property damage or personal injury.
• For 1762-L24BWA, 1762-L40BWA, 1762-L24BWAR, and 1762-L40BWAR controllers:
The COM of the sensor supply is also connected to chassis ground internally. The
24V dc sensor power source should not be used to power output circuits. It should
only be used to power input devices.
• For 1762-L24BXB, 1762-L40BXB, 1762-L24BXBR, and 1762-L40BXBR controllers:
The VDC NEUT or common terminal of the power supply is also connected to
chassis ground internally.
In solid-state control systems, grounding and wire routing helps limit
the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the
ground connection from the ground screw of the controller to the
ground bus prior to connecting any devices. Use AWG #14 wire. For
AC-powered controllers, this connection must be made for safety
purposes.
This product is intended to be mounted to a well grounded mounting
surface such as a metal panel. Refer to the Industrial Automation
Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1, for additional
information. Additional grounding connections from the mounting tab
or DIN rail, if used, are not required unless the mounting surface
cannot be grounded.
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
TIP
Grounding Stamping
ATTENTION
Use all four mounting positions for panel mounting
installation.
Remove the protective debris strip before applying
power to the controller. Failure to remove the strip
may cause the controller to overheat.

groupings is shown in the table following the terminal block layouts.
TIP
This symbol denotes a protective earth ground
terminal which provides a low impedance path
between electrical circuits and earth for safety
purposes and provides noise immunity
improvement. This connection must be made for
safety purposes on ac-powered controllers.
This symbol denotes a functional earth ground
terminal which provides a low impedance path

Sinking and Sourcing
Wiring Diagrams
Any of the MicroLogix 1200 DC embedded input groups can be
configured as sinking or sourcing depending on how the DC COM is
wired on the group. Refer to pages 3-12 through 3-16 for sinking and
sourcing wiring diagrams.
TypeDefinition
Sinking InputThe input energizes when high-level voltage is applied to the input
terminal (active high). Connect the power supply VDC (-) to the input
group’s COM terminal.
Sourcing InputThe input energizes when low-level voltage is applied to the input
terminal (active low). Connect the power supply VDC (+) to the input
group’s COM terminal.
ATTENTION
The 24V dc sensor power source must not be used to
power output circuits. It should only be used to
power input devices (for example sensors and
switches). See Master Control Relay on page 2-8 for
information on MCR wiring in output circuits.

Minimize Electrical Noise
Because of the variety of applications and environments where
controllers are installed and operating, it is impossible to ensure that
all environmental noise will be removed by input filters. To help
reduce the effects of environmental noise, install the MicroLogix 1200
system in a properly rated (NEMA) enclosure. Make sure that the
MicroLogix 1200 system is properly grounded.
Expansion I/O Wiring
A system may malfunction due to a change in the operating
environment after a period of time. We recommend periodically
checking system operation, particularly when new machinery or other
noise sources are installed near the Micrologix 1200 system.
The following sections show the discrete and analog expansion I/O
wiring diagrams.

Analog Wiring
System Wiring Guidelines
Consider the following when wiring your analog modules:
• The analog common (COM) is not connected to earth ground
inside the module. All terminals are electrically isolated from the
system.
• Channels are not isolated from each other.
• Use Belden 8761, or equivalent, shielded wire.
• Under normal conditions, the drain wire (shield) should be
connected to the metal mounting panel (earth ground). Keep
the shield connection to earth ground as short as possible.
• To ensure optimum accuracy for voltage type inputs, limit
overall cable impedance by keeping all analog cables as short as
possible. Locate the I/O system as close to your voltage type
sensors or actuators as possible.
• The module does not provide loop power for analog inputs. Use
a power supply that matches the input transmitter specifications.
1762-IF2OF2 Input Type Selection
Select the input type, current or voltage, using the switches located on
the module’s circuit board and the input type/range selection bits in
the Configuration Data File. Refer to MicroLogix 1200 and 1500
Programmable Controllers Instruction Set Reference Manual,
publication number 1762-RM001. You can access the switches through
the ventilation slots on the top of the module. Switch 1 controls
channel 0; switch 2 controls channel 1. The factory default setting for
both switch 1 and switch 2 is Current. Switch positions are shown
below.

1762-IF2OF2 Output Type Selection
The output type selection, current or voltage, is made by wiring to the
appropriate terminals, Iout or Vout, and by the type/range selection
bits in the Configuration Data File. Refer to MicroLogix 1200 and 1500
Programmable Controllers Instruction Set Reference Manual,
publication number 1762-RM001.
ATTENTION
Analog outputs may fluctuate for less than a second
when power is applied or removed. This
characteristic is common to most analog outputs.
While the majority of loads will not recognize this
short signal, it is recommended that preventive
measures be taken to ensure that connected
equipment is not affected.

TIP
Grounding the cable shield at the module end only
usually provides sufficient noise immunity.
However, for best cable shield performance, earth
ground the shield at both ends, using a 0.01µF
capacitor at one end to block AC power ground
currents, if necessary.

Introduction
This chapter describes how to communicate to your control system.
The method you use and cabling required to connect your controller
depends on what type of system you are employing. This chapter also
describes how the controller establishes communication with the
appropriate network. Topics include:
• supported communication protocols

MicroLogix 1200 controllers with the additional communications port
(1762-L24AWAR, 1762-L24BWAR, 1762-L24BXBR, 1762-L40AWAR,
1762-L40BWAR, 1762-L40BXBR) offer advanced communications
options, providing a clean, cost effective solution for applications
requiring a network connection and HMI.
The additional communications port (Programmer/HMI Port) enables
two communication devices to be connected to the controller
simultaneously. For example, it provides local connectivity of an
operator interface or programming terminal such as DF1 PanelView
HMI, IBM-compatible personal computer using RSLogix 500
programming software, or 1747-PSD program storage device, and also
allows the primary port (Channel 0) to be connected to either a
network, a modem, or an ASCII device such as a barcode reader or
weigh scale.

4-2 Communication Connections
The 1762-L24AWAR, 1762-L24BWAR, 1762-L24BXBR, 1762-L40AWAR,
1762-L40BWAR, and 1762-L40BXBR controllers are equipped with an
additional RS-232 communication channel called the Programmer/HMI
Port, which supports DH Full-duplex only. The controller cannot
initiate messages through this port. It can only respond to messages
sent to it. All communication parameters are fixed and cannot be
changed by a user.
See Default Communication Configuration on page 4-2 for the
configuration settings.
For more information on MicroLogix 1200 communications, refer to
the MicroLogix 1200 and MicroLogix 1500 Programmable Controllers
Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication number 1762-RM001.
Default Communication
Configuration
The MicroLogix 1200 has the following default communication
configuration. The same default configuration is applied for both
Channel 0 and the Programmer/HMI Port (for 1762-LxxxxxR only).
The configurations for the Programmer/HMI Port are fixed and you
cannot change them.
TIP
For Channel 0, the default configuration is present
when:
• The controller is powered-up for the first time.
• The communications toggle push button specifies
default communications (the DCOMM LED is on).
• An OS upgrade is completed.
See Appendix E for more information about communicating.
The Communications toggle push button is located on the processor
under the processor door (if installed), as shown below.
Use the Communications toggle push button to change from the
user-defined communication configuration to the default
communications mode and back on Channel 0. The parameters of the
Programmer/HMI Port are fixed at the default communications
configuration. The Default Communications (DCOMM) LED operates
to show when the controller is in the default communications mode
(settings shown on page 4-2).

4-4 Communication Connections
Connect to the RS-232 Port
There are two ways to connect the MicroLogix 1200 programmable
controller to your personal computer using the DF1 protocol: using a
point-to-point connection, or using a modem. Descriptions of these
methods follow.
ATTENTION
All devices connected to the RS-232 channel must be
referenced to controller ground, or be floating (not
referenced to a potential other than ground). Failure
to follow this procedure may result in property
damage or personal injury.
• For 1762-L24BWA, 1762-L40BWA, 1762-L24BWAR
and 1762-L40BWAR controllers:
The COM of the sensor supply is also connected
to chassis ground internally. The 24V dc sensor
power source should not be used to power
output circuits. It should only be used to power
input devices.
• For 1762-L24BXB, 1762-L40BXB, 1762-L24BXBR
and 1762-L40BXBR controllers:
The VDC NEUT or common terminal of the
power supply is also connected to chassis ground
internally.

Recommended Tools
To connect a DH-485 network, you need tools to strip the shielded
cable and to attach the cable to the AIC+ Advanced Interface
Converter. We recommend the following equipment (or equivalent):
The suggested DH-485 communication cable is either Belden #3106A
or #9842. The cable is jacketed and shielded with one or two
twisted-wire pairs and a drain wire.
One pair provides a balanced signal line and one additional wire is
used for a common reference line between all nodes on the network.
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
Page 76
4-10 Communication Connections
The shield reduces the effect of electrostatic noise from the industrial
environment on network communication.
The communication cable consists of a number of cable segments
daisy-chained together. The total length of the cable segments cannot
exceed 1219 m (4000 ft). However, two segments can be used to
extend the DH-485 network to 2438 m (8000 ft). For additional
information on connections using the AIC+, refer to the Advanced
Interface Converter (AIC+) User Manual, publication 1761-UM004.
When cutting cable segments, make them long enough to route them
from one AIC+ to the next, with sufficient slack to prevent strain on
the connector. Allow enough extra cable to prevent chafing and
kinking in the cable.
Use these instructions for wiring the Belden #3106A or #9842 cable.
(See Cable Selection Guide on page 4-14 if you are using standard
Allen-Bradley cables.)

Ground and Terminate the DH-485 Network
Only one connector at the end of the link must have Terminals 1 and
2 jumpered together. This provides an earth ground connection for
the shield of the communication cable.
Both ends of the network must have Terminals 5 and 6 jumpered
together, as shown below. This connects the termination impedance
(of 120 ohm) that is built into each AIC+ as required by the DH-485
specification.

The AIC+, catalog number 1761-NET-AIC, enables a MicroLogix 1200
to connect to a DH-485 network. The AIC+ has two RS-232 ports and
one isolated RS-485 port. Typically, there is one AIC+ for each
MicroLogix 1200. When two MicroLogix controllers are closely
positioned, you can connect a controller to each of the RS-232 ports
on the AIC+.
The AIC+ can also be used as an RS-232 isolator, providing an
isolation barrier between the MicroLogix 1200 communications port
and any equipment connected to it (for example a personal computer
or modem).

Safety Considerations
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B,
C, D or non-hazardous locations only.
WARNING
See Safety Considerations on page 2-3 for additional information.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
AIC+ must be operated from an external power
source.
This product must be installed in an enclosure. All
cables connected to the product must remain in the
enclosure or be protected by conduit or other
means.
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
Page 84
4-18 Communication Connections
Install and Attach the AIC+
1. Take care when installing the AIC+ in an enclosure so that the
cable connecting the MicroLogix 1200 controller to the AIC+
does not interfere with the enclosure door.
2. Carefully plug the terminal block into the RS-485 port on the
AIC+ you are putting on the network. Allow enough cable slack
to prevent stress on the plug.
3. Provide strain relief for the Belden cable after it is wired to the
terminal block. This guards against breakage of the Belden cable
wires.
Apply Power to the AIC+
In normal operation with the MicroLogix 1200 programmable
controller connected to port 2 of the AIC+, the controller powers the
AIC+. Any AIC+ not connected to a controller requires a 24V dc
power supply. The AIC+ requires 120 mA at 24V dc.
If both the controller and external power are connected to the AIC+,
the power selection switch determines what device powers the AIC+.
ATTENTION
If you use an external power supply, it must be
24V dc (-15%/+20%). Permanent damage results if a
higher voltage supply is used.
Set the DC Power Source selector switch to EXTERNAL before
connecting the power supply to the AIC+. The following illustration
shows where to connect external power for the AIC+.

Communication Connections 4-19
ATTENTION
Always connect the CHS GND (chassis ground)
terminal to the nearest earth ground. This connection
must be made whether or not an external 24V dc
supply is used.
Power Options
Below are two options for powering the AIC+:
• Use the 24V dc user power supply built into the MicroLogix
1200 controller. The AIC+ is powered through a hard-wired
connection using a communication cable (1761-CBL-HM02, or
equivalent) connected to port 2.
• Use an external DC power supply with the following
specifications:
– operating voltage: 24V dc (-15%/+20%)
– output current: 150 mA minimum
– rated NEC Class 2
Make a hard-wired connection from the external supply to the
screw terminals on the bottom of the AIC+.
ATTENTION
If you use an external power supply, it must be 24V
dc (-15%/+20%). Permanent damage results if
miswired with the wrong power source.

Trim Pot Operation
The processor has two trimming potentiometers (trim pots) which
allow modification of data within the controller. Adjustments to the
trim pots change the value in the corresponding Trim Pot Information
(TPI) register. The data value of each trim pot can be used throughout
the control program as timer, counter, or analog presets depending
upon the requirements of the application.
The trim pots are located below the memory module port cover and
to the right of the communications port, as shown below.
Trim Pot 0

COM
Use a small flathead screwdriver to turn the trim pots. Adjusting their
value causes data to change within a range of 0 to 250 (fully
clockwise). The maximum rotation of each trim pot is three-quarters,
as shown below. Trim pot stability over time and temperature is
typically ±2 counts.

(fully clockwise)
Trim pot file data is updated continuously whenever the controller is
powered up.

The following sections cover:
• Removal/Insertion Under Power
• Write Data to the Real-time Clock
• RTC Battery Operation
For more information on ‘Real-time Clock Function
File’ and ‘Memory Module Information File’ refer to
the MicroLogix 1200 and 1500 Programmable
Controllers Instruction Set Reference Manual,
publication 1762-RM001.
Removal/Insertion Under Power
At power-up and when the controller enters a run or test mode, the
controller determines if a real-time clock module (RTC) is present. If
an RTC is present, its values (date, time and status) are written to the
RTC Function File in the controller.
The RTC module can be installed or removed at any time without risk
of damage to either the module or the controller. If an RTC is installed
while the MicroLogix 1200 is in a run or test mode, the module is not
recognized until either a power cycle occurs or until the controller is
placed in a non-executing mode (program mode, suspend mode or
fault condition).
1Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
Page 90
6-2 Use Real-time Clock and Memory Modules
Removal of the RTC during run mode is detected within one program
scan. Removal of the RTC while in run mode causes the controller to
write zeros to the RTC Function File.
The following table indicates the accuracy of the RTC for various
temperatures.
Table 6.1 RTC Accuracy
Ambient Temperature
0 °C (+32 °F)+34 … -70 seconds/month
+25 °C (+77 °F)+36 … -68 seconds/month
+40 °C (+104 °F)+29 … -75 seconds/month
+55 °C (+131 °F)-133 … -237 seconds/month
(1) These numbers are maximum worst case values over a 31-day month.

Write Data to the Real-time Clock
When valid data is sent to the real-time clock from the programming
device or another controller, the new values take effect immediately.
The real-time clock does not recognize or accept invalid date or time
data.
Use the Disable Clock button in your RSLogix programming software
to disable the real-time clock before storing a module. This decreases
the drain on the RTC battery during storage.
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
RTC Battery Operation
The real-time clock has an internal battery that is not replaceable. The
RTC Function File features a battery low indicator bit (RTC:0/BL),
which shows the status of the RTC battery. When the battery is low,
the indicator bit is set (1). This means that the battery may fail within
14 days and the real-time clock module needs to be replaced. When
the battery low indicator bit is clear (0), the battery level is acceptable
or a real-time clock is not attached.
If the RTC battery is low and the controller is powered, the RTC
operates normally. If the controller power is removed and the RTC
battery is low, RTC data is lost.

than 14 days may result in invalid RTC data unless
power is on continuously.
The memory module supports the following features:
• User Program and Data Back-up
• User Program Compare
• Data File Download Protection
• Memory Module Write Protection
• Removal/Insertion Under Power
ATTENTION
Electrostatic discharge can damage the Memory
Module. Do not touch the connector pins or other
sensitive areas.
User Program and Data Back-up
The memory module provides a simple and flexible program/data
transport mechanism, allowing the user to transfer the program and
data to the controller without the use of a personal computer and
programming software.
The memory module can store one user program at a time.
During program transfers to or from the memory module, the
controller’s RUN LED flashes.
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
Page 92
6-4 Use Real-time Clock and Memory Modules
Program Compare
The memory module can also provide application security, allowing
you to specify that if the program stored in the memory module does
not match the program in the controller, the controller will not enter
an executing (run or test) mode. To enable this feature, set the S:2/9
bit in the system status file. See ‘Status System File’ in the MicroLogix
1200 and 1500 Programmable Controllers Instruction Set Reference
Manual, Publication 1762-RM001 for more information.
Data File Download Protection
The memory module supports data file download protection. This
allows user data to be saved (not overwritten) during a download.
TIP
Data file download protection is only functional if the
processor does not have a fault, size of all protected
data files in the memory module exactly match the
size of protected data files within the controller, and
all protected data files are of the same type. See
‘Protecting Data Files During Download’ in the
MicroLogix 1200 and 1500 Programmable Controllers
Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication
1762-RM001.
Memory Module Write Protection
The memory module supports write-once, read-many behavior. Write
protection is enabled using your programming software.
IMPORTANT
Once set, write protection cannot be removed. A
change cannot be made to the control program
stored in a write protected memory module. If a
change is required, use a different memory module.
Publication 1762-UM001E-EN-P - February 2006
Removal/Insertion Under Power
The memory module can be installed or removed at any time without
risk of damage to either the memory module or the controller. If a
memory module is installed while the MicroLogix 1200 is executing,
the memory module is not recognized until either a power cycle
occurs, or until the controller is placed in a non-executing mode
(program mode, suspend mode or fault condition).
