Allen-Bradley 1761-L16AWA Programmable Logic Controller

The Allen-Bradley 1761-L16AWA MicroLogix 1000 controller is a compact, 16-point digital I/O PLC designed for small automation tasks. As part of the MicroLogix 1000 family, it provides 16 I/O points arranged as 10 digital inputs and 6 outputs, enabling straightforward control of sensors and actuators in standalone panels or small machinery. It runs from a standard industrial AC supply with an input range of 0 to 132 V AC, accommodating typical plant power without special transformers. The device is programmed with MicroLogix 1000 software using the family’s programming tools and ladder logic, and it supports the common hand-held programmer workflow for field updates. Suitable for applications such as small conveyors, packaging stations, machine controls, and other compact automation tasks where a 16-point controller is sufficient. The 1761-L16AWA is commonly found in legacy installations and remains a practical option within the MicroLogix 1000 line when 16 I/O points meet the control requirements.
