Programming
Communication Options
Programming the MicroLogix 1100 controller is done using RSLogix 500,
Revision 7.0 or later. To use all of the latest features, RSLogix 500
programming software must be version 7.20.00 or later. Communication
cables for programming are available separately from the controller and
software.
The MicroLogix 1100 controllers provide two communications ports, an
isolated combination RS-232/485 communication port (Channel 0) and an
Ethernet port (Channel 1).
The isolated Channel 0 port on the MicroLogix 1100 can be connected to the
following:
• operator interfaces, personal computers, etc. using DF1 Full Duplex
point-to-point
• a DH-485 network
• a DF1 Radio Modem network
• a DF1 half-duplex network as an RTU Master or RTU Slave
• a Modbus network as an RTU Master or RTU Slave
• an ASCII network
• a DeviceNet network as a slave or peer using a DeviceNet Interface
(catalog number 1761-NET-DNI)
• an Ethernet network using the Ethernet Interface module (catalog
number 1761-NET-ENI, or 1761-NET-ENIW)
(1)
When connecting to a DH-485 network, DF1 half-duplex network
or a
Modbus network, the MicroLogix 1100 can be connected directly via Channel
0 (without an Advanced Interface Converter, catalog number
1761-NET-AIC). The Channel 0 combo port provides both RS-232 and
RS-485 isolated connections. The appropriate electrical interface is selected
through your choice of communication cable. The existing MicroLogix 1761
communication cables provide an interface to the RS-232 drivers. The
1763-NC01 cable provides an interface to the RS-485 drivers (for DH-485,
The controller may also be connected to serial devices, such as bar code

Disconnecting Main Power
Explosion Hazard
Do not replace components, connect equipment, 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
Explosion Hazard
Do not connect or disconnect connectors while circuit is
live.
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.
Publication 1763-UM001D-EN-P - March 2011
Installing Your Controller 23
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.
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.
Publication 1763-UM001D-EN-P - March 2011
24 Installing Your Controller
Power Considerations
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).
Power Supply Inrush
During power-up, the MicroLogix 1100 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
1100 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.
Publication 1763-UM001D-EN-P - March 2011
Installing Your Controller 25
TIP
This is referred to as a power supply shutdown. The processor then performs
an orderly shutdown of the controller.
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.
Preventing 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.
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 1763-UM001D-EN-P - March 2011
26 Installing Your Controller
ATTENTION
TIP
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 28 and 29.
Never alter these circuits to defeat their function since
serious injury and/or machine damage could result.
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 1763-UM001D-EN-P - March 2011
Installing Your Controller 27
TIP
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.
Using 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.
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.

Using the Battery
The MicroLogix 1100 controller is equipped with a replaceable battery. The
Battery Low indicator on the LCD display of the controller shows the status of
the replaceable battery. When the battery is low, the indicator is set (displayed
as a solid rectangle). This means that either the battery wire connector is
disconnected, or the battery may fail within 2 weeks if it is connected. When
the battery level is acceptable, the indicator is clear (displayed as an empty
rectangle).
The MicroLogix 1100 controller ships with the battery wire
connector connected.
Ensure that the battery wire connector is inserted into the
connector port if your application needs battery power. For
example, when using a real-time clock (RTC), or to store
the program in the controller's memory for an extended
period of time while the power is removed.
See Lithium Battery (1763-BA) in the appendix B, for more
information on installation, handling, usage, storage, and
disposal of the battery.
SeeRTC Battery Operation on page 142, for more
information on the use of the battery in relation with RTC.
When the controller’s Battery Low indicator is set
(displayed as a solid rectangle) with the battery wire
connector connected, we recommend strongly to install a
new battery immediately.

WARNING
Connecting 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.
Use the pull loop on the connector to disconnect modules.
Do not pull on the ribbon cable.
Up to four expansion I/O modules can be connected to a
controller.
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.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
In Class I, Division 2 applications, the bus connector must
be fully seated and the bus connector cover must be
snapped in place.
In Class I, Division 2 applications, all modules must be
mounted in direct contact with each other as shown on
page 39. If DIN rail mounting is used, an end stop must be
installed ahead of the controller and after the last 1762 I/O
module.

Wiring Your Controller
This chapter describes how to wire your controller and expansion I/O. Topics
include:
• wire requirements
• using surge suppressors
• grounding the controller
• wiring diagrams
• sinking and sourcing wiring diagrams
• controller I/O wiring
• wiring your analog channels
• expansion I/O wiring
Wiring Requirements
Wiring Recommendation
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 501-10 (b).
• 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.
41Publication 1763-UM001D-EN-P - March 2011
42 Wiring Your Controller
TIP
Do not run signal or communications 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.

Wiring torque = 0.56 Nm (5.0 in-lb) rated
Wiring the Terminal Block
The MicroLogix 1100 controllers have screw-cage clamps on the input and
output terminal blocks. With screw-cage clamp terminal blocks, there is no
need to attach additional hardware such as a spade lug to the wire, or use a
finger-safe cover.
To wire the terminal block:
1. Strip the end of the wire.
The recommended length for the stripped end of the wire is 11.0 mm
(0.440 in.).
2. Insert it into an open clamp.
3. Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the terminal screw. To
ensure that the wire conductor is secured inside the clamp, tighten it to
the rated torque, 0.56 Nm (5.0 in-lb).
The diameter of the terminal screw head is 5.5 mm (0.220 in.).

Using 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.
The following diagram shows an output with a suppression device. We
recommend that you locate the suppression device as close as possible to the
load device.
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

switching transient characteristic of the particular inductive device. See the
table on 45 for recommended suppressors.

Grounding stamping
Grounding the Controller
All devices connected to the RS-232/485 communication port 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 1763-L16BWA 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 1763-L16BBB and 1763-L16DWD 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.
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.

Minimizing 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 1100 system in a properly rated (for example,
NEMA) enclosure. Make sure that the MicroLogix 1100 system is properly
grounded.
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 1100 system.
Analog input circuits can monitor voltage signals and convert them to serial
digital data.
Analog Channel Wiring Guidelines
Consider the following when wiring your analog channels:
• The analog common (COM) is connected to earth ground inside the
module. These terminals are not electrically isolated from the system.
They are connected to chassis ground.
• Analog 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.

Minimizing Electrical Noise on Analog Channels
Inputs on analog channels employ digital high-frequency filters that
significantly reduce the effects of electrical noise on input signals. However,
because of the variety of applications and environments where analog
controllers are installed and operated, it is impossible to ensure that all
environmental noise will be removed by the input filters.
Several specific steps can be taken to help reduce the effects of environmental
noise on analog signals:
• install the MicroLogix 1100 system in a properly rated (i.e., NEMA)
enclosure. Make sure that the MicroLogix 1100 system is properly
grounded.
• use Belden cable #8761 for wiring the analog channels, making sure that
the drain wire and foil shield are properly earth grounded.
• route the Belden cable separately from any AC wiring. Additional noise
immunity can be obtained by routing the cables in grounded conduit.

Grounding Your Analog Cable
Use shielded communication cable (Belden #8761). The Belden cable has two
signal wires (black and clear), one drain wire, and a foil shield. The drain wire
and foil shield must be grounded at one end of the cable.
Do not ground the drain wire and foil shield at
both ends of the cable

Communication Connections
This chapter describes how to communicate with 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
• default communication configurations
• using communications toggle functionality
• connecting to RS-232 port
• connecting to DH-485 network
• connecting to AIC+
• connecting to DeviceNet
• connecting to Ethernet
Supported Communication
Protocols
The MicroLogix 1100 controllers provide two communication channels, an
isolated RS-232/485 communication port (Channel 0) and an Ethernet port
(Channel 1).
MicroLogix 1100 controllers support the following communication protocols
from the primary RS-232/485 communication channel, Channel 0:
• DH-485
• DF1 Full-Duplex
• DF1 Half-Duplex Master and Slave
• DF1 Radio Modem
• Modbus Master and Slave
• ASCII
The Ethernet communication channel, Channel 1, allows your controller to be
connected to a local area network for various devices providing 10 Mbps/100
Mbps transfer rate. MicroLogix 1100 controllers support CIP explicit
messaging (message exchange). MicroLogix 1100 controllers do not support
Ethernet I/O master capability through CIP implicit messaging (real-time I/O
messaging).

Connecting to the RS-232
Port
There are two ways to connect the MicroLogix™ 1100 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.
All devices connected to the RS-232/485
communication port 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 1763-L16BWA 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 1763-L16BBB and 1763-L16DWD controllers,
the VDC NEUT or common terminal of the power
supply is also connected to chassis ground
internally.

UNSUPPORTED CONNECTION
Do not connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to
another MicroLogix family controller such as
MicroLogix 1000, MicroLogix 1200, MicroLogix 1500,
or to the 1747-DPS1 Network port using a
1761-CBL-AM00 (8-pin mini-DIN to 8-pin mini-DIN)
cable or equivalent.
This type of connection will cause damage to the
RS-232/485 communication port (Channel 0) of the
MicroLogix 1100 and/or the controller itself.
Communication pins used for RS-485
communications are alternately used for 24V power
on the other MicroLogix controllers and the
1747-DPS1network port .
Making a DF1 Point-to-Point Connection
You can connect the MicroLogix™ 1100 programmable controller to your
personal computer using a serial cable (1761-CBL-PM02) from your personal
computer’s serial port to the controller’s Channel 0. The recommended
protocol for this configuration is DF1 Full-Duplex.
You can connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to your personal computer
directly without using an external optical isolator, such as Advanced Interface
Converter (AIC+), catalog number 1761-NET-AIC, as shown in the
illustration below, because Channel 0 is isolated within the controller.
(1) Series C or later cables are required for Class I Div 2 applications.
You can use modems to connect a personal computer to one MicroLogix™
1100 controller (using DF1 Full-Duplex protocol), to multiple controllers
(using DF1 Half-Duplex protocol), or Modbus RTU Slave protocol via
Channel 0, as shown in the following illustration. (See Appendix E for
information on types of modems you can use with the micro controllers.)
Do not attempt to use DH-485 protocol through
modems under any circumstance. The
communication timing using DH-485 protocol is not
supported by modem communications.
Publication 1763-UM001D-EN-P - March 2011
(1) Series C or later cables are required for Class I Div 2 applications.
You can connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to your modem directly
without using an external optical isolator, such as AIC+, catalog number
1761-NET-AIC, as shown in the illustration below, because Channel 0 is
isolated within the controller.
When connecting MicroLogix 1100 Channel 0 to a modem using an RS-232
cable, the maximum that the cable length may be extended is 15.24 m (50 ft).
Do not connect pin 1,8, and 5. This connection will
cause damage to the RS-232/485 communication port
(channel 0) of the MicroLogix 1100 and/or the
controller itself.

Detects and eliminates duplicate responses to a message. Duplicate packets may be sent under noisy
communication conditions if the sender’s Message Retries are not set to 0.
Poll Timeout only applies when a slave device initiates a MSG instruction. It is the amount of time that
the slave device waits for a poll from the master device. If the slave device does not receive a poll within
the Poll Timeout, a MSG instruction error is generated, and the ladder program needs to requeue the MSG
instruction. If you are using a MSG instruction, it is recommended that a Poll Timeout value of zero not be
used. Poll Timeout is disabled when set to zero.
Specifies the delay time between when the last serial character is sent to the modem and when RTS is
deactivated. Gives the modem extra time to transmit the last character of a packet.
Specifies the time delay between setting RTS until checking for the CTS response. For use with modems
that are not ready to respond with CTS immediately upon receipt of RTS.
Message Retries0...255
Specifies the number of times a slave device attempts to resend a message packet when it does not
receive an ACK from the master device. For use in noisy environments where message packets may
become corrupted in transmission.

TIP
Connecting to a DH-485
Network
The network diagrams on the next pages provide examples of how to connect
MicroLogix 1100 controllers to the DH-485 network.
You can connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to your DH-485 network
directly without using an external optical isolator, such as Advanced Interface
Converter (AIC+), catalog number 1761-NET-AIC, as shown in the
illustrations below, because Channel 0 is isolated within the controller.
Use a 1763-NC01 Series A or later (8-pin mini-DIN to
6-pin DH-485 connector) cable or equivalent to
connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to a DH-485
network.

Recommended Tools
To connect a DH-485 network to additional devices, 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. 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 1761-6.4.
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 90 if you are using standard Allen-Bradley
cables.)
Connecting the Communication Cable to the DH-485 Connector
A daisy-chained network is recommended. Do not
make the incorrect connection shown below:

Grounding and Terminating 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+ or the 1763-NC01 cable as required by the DH-485
specification.

Connecting the AIC+
You can connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to a DH-485 network via
Channel 0 directly without using an optical isolator, such as AIC+, catalog
number 1761-NET-AIC, because Channel 0 is isolated. However, you need to
use an AIC+ to connect your PC or other MicroLogix Family products, such
as MicroLogix 1200, to a DH-485 network.
The following figure shows the external wiring connections and specifications
of the AIC+.

WARNING
Safety Considerations
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D or
non-hazardous locations only.
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.
See Safety Considerations on page 21 for additional information.
Install and Attach the AIC+
1. Take care when installing the AIC+ in an enclosure so that the cable
connecting the MicroLogix™ 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.

Powering the AIC+
MicroLogix 100, 1200, and 1500 programmable controllers support 24V DC
communication power on Channel 0. When connected to the 8 pin mini-DIN
connector on the 1761-NET-AIC, 1761-NET-ENI, and the
1761-NET-ENIW, these controllers provide the power for the interface
converter modules. The MicroLogix 1100 does not provide 24V DC
communication power. Instead these pins are used to provide RS-485
communications directly. Any AIC+, ENI, or ENIW not connected to a
MicroLogix 1000, 1200, or 1500 controller requires a 24V DC power supply.
If both the controller and external power are connected to the AIC+, the
power selection switch determines what device powers the AIC+.
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+.
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.
Publication 1763-UM001D-EN-P - March 2011

ATTENTION
Power Options
Below are two options for powering the AIC+:
• Use the 24V DC user power supply built into the MicroLogix™ 1000,
1200, or 1500 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+.
If you use an external power supply, it must be 24V DC
(-15%/+20%). Permanent damage results if miswired with
the wrong power source.
