ControlLogix The ControlLogix system provides sequential, process, motion, and drive control
together with communications and state-of-the-art I/O in a small, cost-competitive
System Overview package. The system is modular, so you can design, build, and modify it efficiently -
What’s New in Version 12: with significant savings in training and engineering. A simple ControlLogix system
1756-L61 and 1756-L62 controllers consists of a stand-alone controller and I/O modules in a single chassis.
1756-IF6CIS, 1756-IT6I2, 1756-IB32/B,
1756-OV32E, 1756-OB16IS, and
1756-HYD02 modules
event-based tasks
Or use the ControlLogix system as a gateway. Include the communication modules you
need for connectivity to other networks. For this use, a controller is not required. The
ControlLogix Gateway integrates into existing PLC-based systems so that users with
existing networks can send or receive messages to or from other networks. For a
more robust system, use:
Layout the System Lay out the system by determining the network configuration and the placement of
components in each location. Decide at this time whether each location will have its
own controller.
Place each controller’s I/O on an isolated network to maximize the performance and
to more easily accommodate future network or system configuration changes. If you
plan to share I/O, make sure the I/O is on a network that each controller can access.
Assume that Location A and Location B both require a controller and its own I/O.
Both controllers interact with time critical information. Panel C does not need a
controller and can be a gateway.
For a ControlLogix controller to control I/O modules, both the controller and the I/O
modules must be directly attached to the same network.

Requires:
1756-CNBR ControlNet modules
two identical ControlNet links
Requires:
two redundant power supplies, any combination of 1756-PA75R and 1756-PB75R
1756-PSCA chassis adapter module, in place of the standard power supply
two 1756-CPR cables to connect the power supplies to the 1756-PSCA adapter
user-supplied annunciator wiring to connect the power supplies to the input
modules, if needed
Requires:
one 1756-L55 controller in each redundant chassis (contact your Rockwell
Automation representative for the specific firmware revision)
at least one, but no more than five, 1756-CNB(R) series D, version 5.23 (or
greater) communication modules in each redundant chassis
one 1757-SRM module in each redundant chassis
no other I/O or communication modules can be in the redundant chassis
All I/O must be remote from the redundant controllers. ControlLogix redundancy
works with remote 1756 I/O, FLEX I/O, drives, operator interfaces, or any other
devices that can communicate with a ControlLogix controller over a ControlNet link.
To connect to other networks, bridge through another ControlLogix chassis (not one
of the redundant controller chassis)

The ControlLogix architecture provides a wide range of input and output modules to
PanelConnect modules and cables if span many applications, from high-speed discrete to process control. The
connecting input modules to sensors
ControlLogix architecture uses producer/consumer technology, which allows input
information and output status to be shared among multiple ControlLogix controllers.
Each ControlLogix I/O module mounts in a ControlLogix chassis and requires either
a removable terminal block (RTB) or a 1492 interface module (IFM) to connect all
field-side wiring. RTBs and IFMs are not included with the I/O modules. They must be
ordered separately.
The ControlLogix family of I/O modules includes:
1756 digital I/O modules
1756 analog I/O modules
1756 specialty I/O modules
1492 wiring systems
The module supports two configurable outputs that can be connected to one or both

The module accepts any R3-style resolver, such as the bulletin 846 resolvers. The
module provides excitation to the resolver at 5K Hz @ 7.0V ac and directly connects
to the sine and cosine outputs of the resolver.
1756 Removable Removable terminal blocks (RTBs) provide a flexible interconnection between your
plant wiring and 1756 I/O modules. The RTB plugs into the front of the I/O module.
Terminal Blocks The type of module determines which RTB you need. You choose screw-clamp or
spring-clamp RTBs.
RTBs are not shipped with I/O modules. You must order them separately. The
standard housing on the front of the wiring arm is not deep enough for 14 AWG
wiring. If you plan to use 14 AWG wiring, also order the extended housing.
1492 Wiring As an alternative to buying RTBs and connecting the wires yourself, you can buy a
wiring system of:
Systems
interface modules (IFMs) that mount on DIN rails provide the output terminal
blocks for the I/O module. Use the IFMs with the pre-wired cables that match
the I/O module to the interface module.

Placing The producer/consumer model multicasts messages. This means that multiple nodes
can consume the same data at the same time from a single device. Where you place
ControlLogix I/O I/O modules in the control system determines how the modules exchange data.
Modules
If the I/O module is: And you place the module here: The data exchange method is based on:
change of state
local chassis and / or
digital requested packet interval (cyclic)
remote chassis requested packet interval
real time sample
local chassis and / or
analog requested packet interval
remote chassis requested packet interval
For a ControlLogix controller to control 1756 I/O, the I/O must be:
in the same chassis as the controller or
on a ControlNet network that is local to that controller or
on an Ethernet/IP network that is local to that controller
For example:
Assume that the network links in this example are either ControlNet or Ethernet/IP
links. Both links can be the same, or one link can be a ControlNet link and the other
can be an Ethernet/IP link. Chassis A can control the 1756 I/O modules in Chassis A
and in Chassis B, but not in Chassis C. The ControlLogix controller in Chassis A can
only send messages to the devices in Chassis C.
How ControlLogix In a ControlLogix system, I/O updates occur asynchronous to the execution of logic.
This lets your application receive updated data as soon as possible. If your application
Modules Operate needs synchronous I/O updates, use the synchronous copy (CPS) instruction to buffer
I/O data at the beginning of each scan.
The type of module and where you place the module determines how the module
operates:
Module Type Placement Operation
The RPI specifies the rate at which a module multicasts its data. The time ranges from 200 microseconds to 750 milliseconds. When
the specified time frame elapses, the module will multicast data (also called cyclic data exchange).
If a change of state (COS) does not occur within the RPI timeframe, the module multicasts data at the rate specified by the RPI.
local chassis
Because the RPI and COS functions are asynchronous to the logic scan, it is possible for an input to change state during program scan
execution. If this is a concern, buffer input data so your logic has a stable copy of data during its scan. Use the Synchronous Copy
digital input (CPS) instruction to copy the input data from your input tags to another structure and use the data from that structure.
The RPI and COS values still define when the module multicasts data within its own chassis, but only the value of the RPI determines
when the owner controller receives the data over the network.
remote chassis When an RPI value is specified for an input module in a remote chassis, in addition to instructing the module to multicast data within
its own chassis, the RPI also reserves a spot in the stream of data flowing across the control network. The timing of this reserved spot
may or may not coincide with the exact value of the RPI, but the owner-controller will receive data at least as often as the specified RPI.
If the module resides in the same chassis as the owner-controller, the module receives the data almost immediately after the owner-
local chassis
controller sends it. Data is sent after all the programs within each task have completed executing.
digital output If an output module resides in a chassis other than that of the owner-controller (i.e. a remote chassis connected via ControlNet or
Ethernet/IP), the owner-controller sends data to the output module only at the RPI rate.
remote chassis
The RPI also reserves a spot in the stream of data flowing across the control network. The timing of this reserved spot may or may not
coincide with the exact value of the RPI, but the output module receives data at least as often as the specified RPI.
The RTS value specifies when the module scans its channels and multicasts the data (update the input data buffer then multicast). The
RPI value specifies when the module multicasts the current contents of the input data buffer without scanning (updating) the channels.
local chassis The module resets the RPI timer each time an RTS transfer occurs. If the RTS value is less than or equal to the RPI value, each
multicast of data from the module has newly updated channel data. The module only multicasts at the RTS rate.
analog input If the RTS value is greater than the RPI, the module multicasts at both the RTS rate and the RPI rate.
The RPI and RTS rates still define when the module multicasts data within its own chassis, but only the RPI value determines when the
owner-controller receives the data over the network.
remote chassis
The RPI also reserves a spot in the stream of data flowing across the control network. The timing of this reserved spot may or may not
coincide with the exact value of the RPI, but the controller receives data at least as often as the specified RPI.
The RPI value specifies when the owner-controller broadcasts output data to the module. If the module resides in the same chassis as
local chassis
the owner-controller, the module receives the data almost immediately after the owner-controller sends it.
analog output If an output module resides in a chassis other than that of the owner-controller (i.e. a remote chassis connected via ControlNet or
Ethernet/IP), the owner-controller sends data to the output module only at the RPI rate.

The RPI also reserves a spot in the stream of data flowing across the control network. The timing of this reserved spot may or may not
coincide with the exact value of the RPI, but the output module receives data at least as often as the specified RPI.
Selecting Controller In a Logix system, modules multicast data. This means that multiple devices can
receive the same data at the same time from a single device. When you choose a
Ownership communication format for an I/O module, you have to choose whether to establish an
owner or listen-only relationship with the module.
Relationship Description
The controller that creates the primary configuration and communication connection to a module.
owner controller
The owner controller writes configuration data and can establish a connection to the module.
An I/O connection where another controller owns/provides the configuration data for the I/O
module. A controller using a listen-only connection only monitors the module. It does not write
listen-only connection
configuration data and can only maintain a connection to the I/O module when the owner controller
is actively controlling the I/O module.

The Logix approach to motion control employs synchronized, distributed processing
associated cable(s) and provides a highly-integrated motion solution. Logix integrates sequential and
a remote terminal block (RTB) - only motion control to bring unmatched flexibility to machine design and unprecedented
needed for 1756-M02AE modules efficiency to the manufacturing floor. RSLogix 5000 Enterprise series software
select drives, motors, and accessories (use supports a comprehensive set of embedded motion instructions that can be
the Motion Book) programmed using the relay ladder, structured text, or sequential function chart
editors. The embedded motion instructions satisfy a wide range of machine control
needs, including independent axis motion, synchronized gearing and camming, and
fully-interpolated motion in three dimensions.
The Logix architecture supports motion components that work in a wide variety of
machine architectures:
The Kinetix integrated motion solution uses the SERCOS™ interface to perform
complex, multi-axis, synchronized motion. With a Kinetix system, you reap the
full benefit of the integrated architecture because the integration doesn’t stop at
the controller. This system integrates the drive, the motor, and even the actuator
at a lower cost per axis of motion.
Logix integrated motion using the analog interface provides connectivity for
traditional closed loop servo and variable frequency drives
Networked motion provides the ability to connect via DeviceNet to a single-axis
drive to perform simple, point to point indexing. You need Ultraware software
for drive and indexing configuration.
Use this selection guide to select the appropriate motion interface. Use the Motion
Book to size your motion application and to select the appropriate drives, motors, and
accessories. The Motion Book is available on The Automation Bookstore

SERCOS Interface The 8-axis (1756-M08SE) or 16-axis (1756-M16SE) SERCOS interface servo modules
serve as a link between the ControlLogix platform and intelligent, servo drives.
Modules SERCOS is the IEC 61491 SErial Real-time COmmunication System protocol over a
fiber optic medium. The SERCOS interface is an open, controller-to-digital drive
interface designed for high-speed, real time, serial communications using noise-
immune, fiber-optic cables.
The SERCOS interface modules use a single, digital fiber optic link, which eliminates
up to 18 discrete wires per axis. Detailed drive status information can be sent from
drive to controller and from controller to drive.

NetLinx architecture
NetLinx open network architecture is the Rockwell Automation strategy of using open
networking technology for seamless, top-floor to shop-floor integration. The networks
in the NetLinx architecture – DeviceNet, ControlNet, and EtherNet/IP – speak a
common language and share a universal set of communication services. NetLinx
architecture, part of the Integrated Architecture, seamlessly integrates all the
components in an automation system from a few devices on one network to multiple
devices on multiple networks including access to the Internet – helping you to
improve flexibility, reduce installation costs, and increase productivity.
EtherNet/IP is an open industrial networking standard that supports implicit
and explicit messaging and uses commercial, off-the-shelf Ethernet equipment
and physical media.
ControlNet allows intelligent, high-speed control devices to share the
information required for supervisory control, work-cell coordination, operator
interface, remote device configuration, programming, and troubleshooting.
DeviceNet offers high-speed access to plant-floor data from a broad range of
plant-floor devices and a significant reduction in wiring.

Serial Network The built-in, serial port is compatible with RS-232 serial communication. The serial
port supports the DF1 protocol to communicate with other devices on the serial link.
You can select:
Use this DF1 mode: For:
point to point communication between a controller and other DF1-compatible devices using DF1 full-duplex protocol
DF1 master control of polling and message transmission between the master and each slave using DF1 half-duplex polled protocol
DF1 slave using the controller as a slave station in a master/slave serial network using DF1 half-duplex protocol
user mode (ASCII) communication between a controller and an ASCII device, such as a bar code reader
Over the serial port, the ControlLogix controller supports 12 message buffers. At most,
you can have 4 simultaneous connected messages and 8 simultaneous unconnected
messages. Or if all the messages are unconnected, you can have 12 simultaneous
messages. If a message is greater than 250 bytes, it is divided across enough buffers to
carry the message, which reduces the number of buffers remaining for other
simultaneous messages.

DH-485 Network On the DH-485 network, the controller can send and receive messages to and from
other controllers on the network. The DH-485 connection does support remote
programming and monitoring via RSLogix 5000 software. However, excess traffic over
a DH-485 connection can adversely affect overall performance and can lead to
timeouts and loss in RSLogix 5000 configuration performance.
Important: Only use Logix controllers on DH-485 networks when you want to add
controllers to an existing DH-485 network. For new applications with Logix
controllers, networks in the NetLinx architecture are the recommended networks.
You need a 1761-NET-AIC+ converter for each controller you want to put on the DH-
485 network. You can have two controllers per one 1761-NET-AIC+ converter, but you
need a different cable for each controller. Connect one controller to port 1 (9-pin
connector) and one controller to port 2 (mini-DIN connector).

a CompactFlash card for nonvolatile storage. You must remove the controller from the
chassis to access the CompactFlash card.
Nonvolatile memory
The nonvolatile memory (flash) lets you permanently store a user program and tag
data on a controller. You can:
manually trigger the controller to save to or load from nonvolatile memory
configure the controller to load from nonvolatile memory on power up
On the 1756-L6x controlelrs, the CompactFlash card stores the user program, tag
data, and controller firmware. This lets a you upgrade the firmware on a 1756-L6x
controller without using RSlogx 5000 software or ControlFlash software.
Determining Battery Each controller ships with a 1756-BA1 battery. An externally mounted, higher capacity
battery module is also available (1756-BATM).

How a Logix A Logix controller uses three types of tasks. Use the following table to choose the
appropriate type of task for each section of your logic.
System Uses Tasks
If you want to execute a section of your
logic: Then use this type of task: Description:
The continuous task runs in the background. Any CPU time not allocated to other operations (such
as motion, communications, and periodic or event tasks) is used to execute the programs within the
all of the time continuous task.
Continuous Task
The continuous task runs all the time. When the continuous task completes a full scan, it restarts
immediately.
A project does not require a continuous task. If used, there can be only one continuous task.
A periodic task performs a function at a specific period.
Whenever the time for the periodic task expires, the task interrupts any lower priority tasks,
at a constant period (e.g., every 100 ms)
executes one time, and then returns control to where the previous task left off.
multiple times within the scan of your other
Periodic Task. You can configure the time period from 0.1 ms to 2000 msec. The default is 10 ms. It is also
logic
controller and configuration dependent.
The performance of a periodic task depends on the type of Logix controller and on the logic in the
task.
An event task performs a function only when a specific event (trigger) occurs.
Whenever the trigger for the event task occurs, the event task:
interrupts any lower priority tasks
executes one time
returns control to where the previous task left off
Event tasks
Several factors affect the closed-loop event throughput:
input module type, filter time, and response time
backplane size and loading
controller type, configuration, and loading
output module type and response time
To use a device to trigger an event task, the device must support event task triggering.
If the device is in a remote location, the associated communication modules must also
support event triggering. These devices support input events:

Determining The controller supports the ability to produce (broadcast) and consume (receive)
system-shared tags. Produced and consumed tags each require connections. Over
Connections for ControlNet, produced and consumed tags are scheduled connections.
Produced and
Consumed Tags
This type of tag: Requires these connections:
A produced tag allows other controllers to consume the tag, which means that a controller can receive the tag data from another controller. The local
controller (producing) uses one connection for the produced tag and one connection for each consumer. The controller’s communication device uses
produced one connection for each consumer.
As you increase the number of controllers that can consume a produced tag, you also reduce the number of connections the controller and
communication device have available for other operations, like communications and I/O.
Each consumed tag requires one connection for the controller that is consuming the tag. The controller’s communication device uses one connection for
consumed
each consumer.
For two controllers to share produced or consumed tags, both controllers must be
attached to the same control network (such as a ControlNet or Ethernet/IP network).
You cannot bridge produced and consumed tags over two networks.
The total number of tags that can be produced or consumed is limited by the number
of available connections. If the controller uses all of its connections for I/O and
communication devices, no connections are left for produced and consumed tags.
ControlLogix controllers can produce and consume tags over:
the ControlLogix backplane
a ControlNet network
an EtherNet/IP network
The total combined consumed and produced tags that a controller supports is (this is
also the maximum number of connections):
How a Logix A Logix system uses a connection to establish a communication link between two
devices. Connections can be:
System Uses controller to local I/O modules or local communication modules
Connections controller to remote I/O or remote communication modules
controller to remote I/O (rack optimized) modules
produced and consumed tags
messages
Method Description
A scheduled connection is unique to ControlNet communications. A scheduled connection lets you send and receive data repeatedly at a
predetermined interval, which is the requested packet interval (RPI). For example, a connection to an I/O module is a scheduled
connection because you repeatedly receive data from the module at a specified interval. Other scheduled connections include

On a ControlNet network, you must use RSNetWorx for ControlNet to enable all scheduled connections and establish a network update

unscheduled connection An unscheduled connection is a message transfer between controllers that is triggered by the requested packet interval (RPI) or the
deterministic program (such as a MSG instruction). Unscheduled messaging lets you send and receive data when needed.
used by both ControlNet and EtherNet/IP All EtherNet/IP connections are unscheduled.
unconnected message An unconnected message is a message that does not require connection resources. An unconnected message is sent as a single
least deterministic request/response.
The communication module you select determines the number of connections you
have available for I/O and messages.
Depending on the type of I/O modules, both direct connections and rack-optimized
connections can be used.
I/O System Supported Connection Type(s):
1756 basic digital I/O in a local chassis direct connection

digital I/O in a remote chassis via ControlNet or

digital I/O via Universal Remote I/O rack-optimized connection
analog I/O via Universal Remote I/O direct connection via messaging
1771 analog I/O via ControlNet direct connection via messaging
DeviceNet I/O rack-optimized connection
✶Rack-optimized connections for diagnostic and E-fuse modules do not send diagnostic or fuse data to controller.
Because all the remote I/O modules are configured for direct connections, configure
the remote communication module for “none,” which results in no connection.
Determining Messages transfer data to other devices, such as other controllers or operator
interfaces. Some messages use unscheduled connections to send or receive data.
Connections for These connected messages can leave the connection open (cache) or close the
Messages connection when the message is done transmitting. The following table shows which
messages use a connection and whether or not you can cache the connection:
This type of message: Using this communication method: Uses a connection:
CIP data table read or write CIP ü
CIP
PLC2, PLC3, PLC5, or SLC (all types) CIP with Source ID
DH+ ü
CIP generic CIP your option✶
block-transfer read or write na ü
✶You can connect CIP generic messages, but for most applications we recommend you leave CIP generic messages unconnected.
If a message executes repeatedly, cache the connection. This keeps the connection
open and optimizes execution time. Opening a connection each time the message
executes increases execution time.
If a message executes infrequently, do not cache the connection. This closes the
connection upon completion of the message, which frees up that connection for other
uses.
Each message uses one connection, regardless of how many devices are in the
message path. To conserve connections, you can configure one message to read from
or write to multiple devices.
Determining A Logix system uses connections to transmit I/O data. These connections can be direct
connections or rack-optimized connections. Over ControlNet, I/O connections are
Connections for I/O scheduled connections:
Modules
Connection Description
A direct connection is a real-time, data transfer link between the controller and an I/O module. The controller maintains and monitors
the connection between the controller and the I/O module. Any break in the connection, such as a module fault or the removal of a
direct
module while under power, causes the controller to set fault status bits in the data area associated with the module.
Typically, analog I/O modules and specialty modules require direct connections.
For digital I/O modules, you can select rack optimized communication. A rack optimized connection consolidates connection usage
between the controller and all the digital I/O modules on a rack (or DIN rail). Rather than having individual, direct connections for
rack-optimized
each I/O module, there is one connection for the entire rack (or DIN rail).
The 32-point FLEX I/O modules do not support rack-optimixed connections and require direct connections.
Because all the remote I/O modules are configured for direct connections, configure
the remote communication module for “none,” which results in no connection.
In this example the controller has a direct connection to each digital I/O module in
the local chassis. The controller also communicates with the 1771 chassis, through
the remote 1756-DHRIO module, using a rack-optimized connection.
The controller makes the connection through the 1756-DHRIO module to the adapter
module in the 1771 chassis. The controller requires one connection for each logical
rack. The addressing mode (1/2 slot, 1 slot, or 2 slot) of the 1771 chassis determines
the number of logical racks, which determines the total number of connections.
In addition, the controller uses one connection for each message to a 1771 block-
transfer module.
In this example the controller has a direct connection to each digital I/O module in
the local chassis. The controller uses two connections to communicate with the
DeviceNet devices through the 1756-DNB module. The 1756-DNB module supports
only a rack-optimized connection to its DeviceNet devices.
The 1756-DNB module does not establish connections to its devices; and therefore,
the controller doesn’t establish connections with DeviceNet devices. The 1756-DNB
module acts as a scanner that gathers all the data from its devices and packs that data
together into one image that is passed to the controller. However, the controller can
use a MSG instruction to get information directly to or from a DeviceNet device.
Determining Total The ControlLogix controller supports 250 connections. To calculate the total
connections for a controller, consider the connections to local I/O modules and the
Connection connections to remote modules.
Requirements
Use the following table to tally local connections:
Connection Type Device Quantity Connections per Device Total Connections
local I/O module (always a direct connection) 1

Power Each ac-input power supply generates a shutdown signal on the backplane whenever
the ac line voltage drops below its lower voltage limit. It removes the shutdown signal
Requirements and when the line voltage comes back up to the lower voltage limit. This shutdown is
Transformer Sizing necessary to help ensure that only valid data is stored in memory.
The external transformer rating (in VA) of each power supply is greater than its real
input power (in Watts) because a capacitor-input ac/dc supply draws power only from
the peak of the ac voltage wave form. If the transformer is too small, it clips the peak
of the sine wave; when the voltage is still above the lower voltage limit, the power
supply will sense this clipped wave form as low voltage and could prematurely shut
down modules in the chassis.
The following graphs display the backplane power load on the vertical axis. Since
these supplies have multiple outputs, the backplane power load is given in watts.
Use the real power value in watts for determining the amount of heat
dissipation you will have inside the enclosure.
Use the apparent power value in VA for estimating power distribution sizing.
Use the transformer load value in VA of each power supply plus all other loads
on a transformer to determine the required transformer size.

The ProcessLogix development environment offers control functions that you access
and link using a function block editor. A library of templates, called function blocks,
provide the logic for continuous, logic, sequence, and basic batch functions. The
ProcessLogix system supports:
regulatory, computational, and compensation requirements with continuous
functions
boolean, selection, and comparison requirements with logic functions
action handling and conditional logic with sequential functions, including
sequential function charts
basic batch requirements with Batch Level 1 and 2 type control functions
Summary
Use a spreadsheet to record the amount and type of devices your ControlLogix system
needs. For example, this sample system:
