MicroLogix1500
Programmable
Controller with
CompactI/O
for Expansion
(Bulletins 1764 and 1769)
System Overview
There was a time when
a large controller was
needed for applications
requiring 100 or more
points of I/O. Not any
more. The MicroLogix 1500
is a more powerful and
expandable addition to
the MicroLogix family.
This dynamic packaged
controller can handle many
applications that used to require
larger, more expensive controllers.
World Class Features for
Many Applications
The MicroLogix 1500 has more robust features
than you might expect for a controller this size.
It supports up to 12K of onboard non-volatile
user memory to accommodate complex
application
programs, with
additional memory
for applications
that require data
logging.
Additionally, the
controller’s terminal blocks
are removable, “finger safe”
NEMA-style blocks. And because
it can be either DIN rail or panel
mounted, the MicroLogix 1500
takes up a fraction of the space of
larger controllers while reducing
overall application costs.
Communications are flexible for
the MicroLogix 1500, as well.
DH-485 and DeviceNet
compatibility are available via
add-on communication modules,
and DF1Full-Duplex and Half-
Duplex Slave is perfect for SCADA
applications. Ethernet®and

Finally, as with all MicroLogix
controllers, the MicroLogix 1500 is
programmed using the RSLogix
500programming environment.
The instruction set is compatible
with all MicroLogix as well as
SLC controllers.
High-Speed Performance
Because many large manufacturing
applications occur at a fast pace,
the MicroLogix 1500 is built
for speed. For example, the
controller’s typical scan time
is less than 1 millisecond per
1K of user program. The
MicroLogix 1500 likewise
boasts two 20kHz high-
speed counters, each
with eight modes of
operation, and two
high-speed
outputs that
can be
configured
either as 20kHz Pulse Train Outputs (PTO) or as
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) outputs. Finally,
you will find one selectable timed interrupt (STI)
and four event interrupts, making the
MicroLogix 1500 ideal for many
high-speed applications.
Application Flexibility
through Compact I/O
The magic behind the MicroLogix 1500
is its use of Compact I/O, a new
“PLC-style” I/O platform, for I/O
expansion. Compact I/O makes
use of the latest design technology
for superior performance and ease
of use while maintaining the MicroLogix 1500’s
small footprint.
Expandable to over 128 I/O points, Compact I/O
features an innovative rackless design,
reducing overall system cost. Its
modular, high-density configuration
reduces panel space requirements.
And because modules can be added
or replaced from the front of the unit,
installation and
maintenance time is
significantly reduced.
Compact I/O offers broad application coverage
via 24VDC sink/source and 120/240VAC I/O,
relay, and analog I/O.

page 10 for additional informati on on expansion I/O.) Each component is optimized for functionality, while maintaining
affor dabil i ty and a s m all size.
Processor Units
The processor units are the “brai ns” of the system. They provide the logic process ing and the interface to the DAT, real-
time clock and memor y modules, trim potentiometers, mode switch, and (using the 1764-LRP processor) an electr icall y
isolate d RS-232 port (channe l 1). The two proc es sor units currently availa ble are de scribed below.
1764-LSP Processor
The 1764-LSP processor provides you with large memor y size (greater
than 7K user program capacity) to solve a variety of applications.
Configurable user data allows data elements to be selected according to
the individu al app lica t io n req uirements. 100% retentative data ensures
data integrity even during power loss.
Communications are extremely flexible with support for a variety of
pro t o cols i n cluding DF1 Full-D uplex and Hal f-Du p lex Slave, DH-485,
M odbus RTU Slav e and ASCII. The RS-232 port o n the base u nit a llows
for direct connection of programming and operator interface dev ic es,
remo t e programming, p e er-to-peer communications, and SCADA/RTU
networking. Modb us R TU Slave allows for easy integration with existing
SCADA/RTU installation utilizing Modbu s protocol.
S tatic data file protection prevents user data from being altered via communication.

1764-LRP Processor
The 1764-LRP processor ha s al l of the adva nced fea t ures of the 1764- LSP proce ssor
with the following additional functionality.
The 1764-LRP processor provides you with an even larger memory size (12K
user program capacity) to solve a variety of applications. Configura ble user
data allows data elements to be selected accor ding to the individual application
requirement s. 100% retent ative data ensure s data inte grit y eve n duri ng powe r
loss.
Comm unica tions are extremely flexible with a built-in isolated 9-pin D-shell
RS-232C port on the pro cessor unit (in addition t o t he port on the base unit).
Bot h ports support: DF 1 Full- Duplex and Ha lf-Du plex Slave; DH-485;
M odbus RTU S lave; and ASCII. The R S-232 port allo ws for direc t connect ion
of pro gramming and operator inte rfac e devices, re mote p rog r amming, peer-to-p eer commu nications, and SCADA/
RTU networking . Mod b us RTU Slave allows for eas y integra tion with existing SCAD A/RTU installation utilizing
Modbus protocol. This addit io nal RS-232 communicatio n port provides programming access, direct connect io n to
operator interfac e and other devices and networking, independent of the base communication port.
Two add itional memory modules are availabl e fo r l arger 1764-LRP programs.
Data logging instruction stores up to 48K bytes of data records. Allows critical data to be stored for later analysis.
The new da ta log ging instr uction is also great for SCADA/RTU applications where a stand-al one controller must
collect information for later retrieval.
The memory used for data logging is indep e ndent o f pr o cessor memory. Withi n this memory, you can define u p
to 256 data logging queu es . Each queue is c onfigurable by size (maximum number of re c ords stor ed), and b y
length (up to 80 characters). The length and the maximum number of records determine how much memory is
used by each queue. You can choose to have one large queue or multiple smaller ones.
Each record is stored when the DLG instruction is executed and is stored in non-volatile memory (battery-
backed) to prevent loss during power-down.
The configuration of the DLG instruction allows you to optionally include time stamping, data stamping, and a
configurable separator character with the data words that are stored.
New records are appended to the end of the file - FIFO (first in, f irst out) as the DLG instruction is triggered (by
an event, timer, counter, real-time clock, etc.)
Data logging records may be uploa ded usi ng a number of free tools availab le on the MicroLogi x Internet site
http://www.ab.com/micrologix. Tools are available for Pa lm OS, Windows CE, Window s® 95, Windows® 98,
and Windows NT™ (v4.0) devices to upload the data directly from the controller through comms. The
informatio n may be impo rted dire ctly into sp rea dsheet, word pro cessing, or other a pplicati ons as a .CSV or .TXT
file.

MicroLogix 1500 System Expansion
With Micr oLogix 1500 Operating Syst e m Revision Number (FRN)
3 or later, you can connect an additional bank of I/O to your
controller.
In a MicroLogix 1500 system, a maximum of one 1769 Expansion
cable can be used, allowing for two banks of I/O modu les (one
connected directly to the controller and the other connected v ia the
cable ). Each I/O bank(1) requires its own power supply ( Bank 0 uses
the control ler’s emb edde d power supply) .
Only one power supply (embedded or expansion) may be used on an
I/O bank. The expansion power supply cannot be connected dire c tly
to a controller that has an embedded power supply, such as the
MicroLogix 1500. I t must be connected using one of the expansion
cables. (See ph oto s on page 14 .)
Checking the MicroLogix 1500 Firm ware
To use the Micr oLogix 1500 controller wit h a 1769 Ex pansio n

Co mmunication Choices
All MicroLogix 1500 programmable
controllers provide several communication
options to fit into a v ariety of applications.
The addition of a second full-function
RS-232 communications port (ca talog
number 1764-LRP) enables two
communication devices to be connected
to the controller simultaneously (e.g.
ASCII device, operator interface device,
modem or prog ramming device).
The DF1 Full-Duplex protocol allows a
MicroLogix 1500 to communicate directly
wit h anothe r dev ice , su ch as a per s on a l
comp uter or an opera tor i nterf ac e device .
The DF1 Full-Duplex protocol (also
referred to as DF1 point-to- point
prot ocol) is useful where RS-232 point-t o -
point comm u nication is re qu ired.
The DH-485 multi-dr op co mmunication
capability allow s you to ne twork up to 32
MicroLogix or SLC 500 controllers,
H uman/M achine I nter face (HMI) devic es
and/or personal computers using peer-to-
peer messag ing.
And, the MicroLogix 1500 can
communicate on a DeviceNet network as
well. DeviceNet digitally links push
buttons, sensors, actuator s, PLCs and
other industrial devices on an open
network.
MicroLogix 1500 controllers al so supp o rt
DF1 Half-Duplex Slave communications
for use in SCADA systems as a Remote
Termina l U nit (R TU). This open network
protocol enables MicroLogix controllers to
communicate as res ponder (slave) nodes
on DF1 master/slave networks. DF1
supports up to 254 responder devices with
a single m as te r.
Additionall y, the Micro Logix 1500
supports Modbus Slav e, a SCADA/RTU
protocol.

Local Messages
The M icroLogix 1500 is capab le of
communicating using local or remo te
messages. With a l ocal me ssage, all netwo rk
devic es are accessible without a separ ate
device acting as a bridge. With remote
messages, devices are a ccessible by passing
or routing through a device.
The following four examp les represent
different types of local and remote
networks.
