ATTENTION: UNSUPPORTED CONNECTION
Do not connect a MicroLogix 1400 controller to another MicroLogix
family controller such as MicroLogix 1000, MicroLogix 1200,
MicroLogix 1500, or the network port of a 1747-DPS1 Port Splitter
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 1400 and/or the
controller itself. The communication pins used for RS-485
communications on the MicroLogix 1400 are alternately used for
24V power on the other MicroLogix controllers and the network
port of the 1747-DPS1 Port Splitter.
Programming
Programming the MicroLogix 1400 controller is done using
RSLogix 500/RSLogix Micro, Revision 8.10.00 or later for Series A controllers
4Rockwell Automation Publication 1766-UM001H-EN-P - May 2014
Page 19
Hardware Overview Chapter 1
and 8.30.00 or later for Series B controllers. Communication cables for
programming are available separately from the controller and software.
Communication Options
The MicroLogix 1400 controllers provide three communications ports, an
isolated combination RS-232/485 communication port (Channel 0), an
Ethernet port (Channel 1) and a non-isolated RS-232 communication port
(Channel 2).
The Channel 0 and Channel 2 ports on the MicroLogix 1400 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)
• a DNP3 network as a Slave
When connecting to RS-485 network using DH-485, DF1 Half-Duplex
Master/Slave, Modbus RTU Master/Slave or DNP3 Slave protocols, the
MicroLogix 1400 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.
The controller may also be connected to serial devices, such as bar code readers,
weigh scales, serial printers, and other intelligent devices, using ASCII. See
Default Communication Configuration on page 60 for the configuration settings
for Channel 0. MicroLogix 1400 can be connected directly to RS-485 network
via channel 0, using ASCII.
The MicroLogix 1400 supports EtherNet/IP communication via the Ethernet
communication Channel 1. In addition, either Modbus TCP or DNP3 over IP
can be enabled for Channel 1. You can connect your controller to a local area
network that provides communication between various devices at 10 Mbps or
100 Mbps. This port supports CIP explicit messaging (message exchange) only.
The controller cannot be used for CIP implicit messaging (real-time I/O
messaging). The controller also includes an embedded web server which allows

Disconnecting Main Power
WARNING: 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
WARNING: 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.
Power Distribution
There are some points about power distribution that you should know:
10Rockwell Automation Publication 1766-UM001H-EN-P - May 2014
Page 25
Install Your Controller Chapter 2
• 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.
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 1400 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 1400
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:
Rockwell Automation Publication 1766-UM001H-EN-P - May 201411
Page 26
Chapter 2 Install Your Controller
• 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.
Preventing Excessive Heat
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.
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
12Rockwell Automation Publication 1766-UM001H-EN-P - May 2014

Install Your Controller Chapter 2
TIP
TIP
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.
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 15 and 16.
ATTENTION: 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

TIP
output fuses, or working on equipment within the enclosure, use the disconnect
to shut off power to the rest of the system.
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.

The MicroLogix 1400 controller is equipped with a replaceable battery (catalog
number 1747-BA). 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.
The MicroLogix 1400 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).
Replacing the battery when the controller is powered down will lose
all user application memory. Replace the battery when the controller is
powered on.
Refer to the SLC 500 Lithium Battery Installation Instructions,
publication 1747-IN515, for more information on installation, handling,
usage, storage, and disposal of the battery.
See RTC Battery Operation on page 120, for more information on the
use of the battery in relation with RTC.

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 seven expansion I/O modules can be connected to a controller.
ATTENTION: 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.
WARNING: 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 26. 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 Requirements
Wiring Recommendation
ATTENTION: Before you install and wire any device, disconnect
power to the controller system.
ATTENTION: 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.
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.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1766-UM001H-EN-P - May 201427
Page 42
Chapter 3 Wire Your Controller
Finger-safe cover
44527
• 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.
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 1400 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.
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.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1766-UM001H-EN-P - May 201429
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

These components must be appropriately rated to suppress the switching
transient characteristic of the particular inductive device. See Recommended
Surge Suppressors on page 30 for recommended suppressors.

Grounding the Controller
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.

WARNING: If you connect or disconnect wiring while the
field-side power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause
an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that
power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
WARNING: The local programming terminal port is intended for
temporary use only and must not be connected or disconnected
unless the area is free of ignitable concentrations of flammable
gases or vapors.

Sinking and Sourcing
Wiring Diagrams
Any of the MicroLogix 1400 DC embedded input groups can be configured as
sinking or sourcing depending on how the DC COM is wired on the group.
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, switches). See Master Control Relay
on page 13 for information on MCR wiring in output circuits.
In the following diagrams, lower case alphabetic subscripts are
appended to common-terminal connections to indicate that different
power sources may be used for different isolated groups, if desired.
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 1400 system in a properly rated (for example, NEMA)
enclosure. Make sure that the MicroLogix 1400 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,
38Rockwell Automation Publication 1766-UM001H-EN-P - May 2014
particularly when new machinery or other noise sources are installed near the
MicroLogix 1400 system.

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.
• The controller does not provide loop power for analog inputs. Use a power
supply that matches the transmitter specifications as shown below.

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 1400 system in a properly rated enclosure, for
example, NEMA. Make sure that the MicroLogix 1400 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 RS-485 network
• connecting to AIC+
• connecting to DeviceNet
• connecting to Ethernet
Supported Communication
Protocols
The MicroLogix 1400 controllers provide three communication channels, an
isolated RS-232/485 communication port (Channel 0), an Ethernet port
(Channel 1) and a non-isolated RS-232 communication port (Channel 2).
MicroLogix 1400 controllers support the following communication protocols
from the primary RS-232/485 communication channel 0 and the RS-232
communication channel 2:
• DH-485
• DF1 Full-Duplex
• DF1 Half-Duplex Master and Slave
• DF1 Radio Modem
• Modbus RTU Master and Slave
• ASCII
• DNP3 Slave
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 1400 controllers support Ethernet/IP with CIP
explicit messaging (message exchange), BOOTP/DHCP Client, HTTP Server,
SMTP Client, DNS Client, SNMP Server, Socket Interface with CIP Generic
messaging, Modbus TCP Client/Server and DNP3 over IP. MicroLogix 1400
controllers do not support Ethernet I/O master capability through CIP implicit
messaging (real-time I/O messaging).

ATTENTION: 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 1766-L32BWA 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 1766-L32BXB controllers, the VDC NEUT or common terminal
of the power supply is also connected to chassis ground
internally.

ATTENTION: UNSUPPORTED CONNECTION
Do not connect a MicroLogix 1400 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 1400 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-DPS1 network port .
Making a DF1 Point-to-Point Connection
You can connect the MicroLogix 1400 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 1400 controller to your personal computer
directly without using an external optical isolator, such as Advanced Interface
64Rockwell Automation Publication 1766-UM001H-EN-P - May 2014
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.
Using a Modem
You can use modems to connect a personal computer to one MicroLogix 1400
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.
(1) Series C or later cables are required for Class I Div 2 applications.
You can connect a MicroLogix 1400 controller to your modem directly without
using an external optical isolator, such as AIC+, catalog number 1761-NET-AIC,

Connecting to a DF1 Half-Duplex Network
When a communication port is configured for DF1 Half-Duplex Slave, available
parameters include the following:
Control Lineno handshaking, half duplex modem (RTS/CTS handshaking, no handshaking (485 network)
Error DetectionCRC, BCC
EOT Suppressionenabled, disabled
When EOT Suppression is enabled, the slave does not respond when polled if no message is queued. This saves
modem transmission power and time when there is no message to transmit.
Duplicate Packet (Message)
Detect
Poll Timeout (x20 ms)0...65,535 (can be set in 20 ms increments)
RTS Off Delay (x20 ms)0...65,535 (can be set in 20 ms increments)
RTS Send Delay (x20 ms)0...65,535 (can be set in 20 ms increments)
Message Retries0...255
Pre Transmit Delay
(x1 ms)
enabled, disabled
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.
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.
0...65,535 (can be set in 1 ms increments)
•When the Control Line is set to no handshaking, this is the delay time before transmission. Required
for 1761-NET-AIC physical Half-Duplex networks. The 1761-NET-AIC needs delay time to change from
transmit to receive mode.
•When the Control Line is set to DF1 Half-Duplex Modem, this is the minimum time delay between
receiving the last character of a packet and the RTS assertion.

Typical 3-Node Network (Channel 0 Connection)
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 77 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.

This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D or
non-hazardous locations only.
WARNING: 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 9 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 1000, 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 1400 does not provide 24V DC communication power through
communication ports. 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+.
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+.
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+:
82Rockwell Automation Publication 1766-UM001H-EN-P - May 2014
• 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

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.
Connecting to DeviceNet
You can connect a MicroLogix 1400 as a slave to a DeviceNet network using the
DeviceNet Interface (DNI), catalog number 1761-NET-DNI. For additional
information on using the DNI, refer to the DeviceNet Interface User Manual,
publication 1761-UM005
. The following figure shows the external wiring
connections of the DNI.

Connecting to Ethernet
You can connect directly a MicroLogix 1400 to an Ethernet network via the
Ethernet port (Channel 1). You do not need to use an Ethernet interface card,
such as the Ethernet Interface (ENI) and (ENIW), catalog number
1761-NET-ENI and 1761-NET-ENIW, to connect your MicroLogix 1400
controller to an Ethernet network. For additional information on connecting to
an Ethernet network, see Connecting to Networks via Ethernet Interface on page
327.
