Allen-Bradley 1766-L32BWA MicroLogix 1400 Controller

The Allen-Bradley 1766-L32BWA MicroLogix 1400 Controller is a 32-point PLC built for compact automation tasks, delivering discrete control with integrated Ethernet/IP communications for small to mid-sized industrial applications. It provides 32 total I/O points—20 digital inputs (24V DC) and 12 digital outputs (relay)—powered by a 24V DC supply, with Ethernet/IP and RS-232/RS-485 communication ports and an embedded web server for simple local monitoring. The controller supports 1762 expansion I/O modules, mounts on DIN rail or panel, and operates from 0°C to 55°C, while offering six high-speed counters for precise process tracking. Ideal for packaging equipment, conveyor systems, pump and compressor control panels, and water treatment setups, it also serves material handling, bottling and labeling machines, HVAC control panels, OEM production machinery, and light process automation where dependable discrete control and Ethernet communication are required. Common replacements include the 1766-L32BWAA, 1766-L32BXBA, and 2080-LC30-16QWB for upgrades or retrofits.
