Installing Your Controller Safety Considerations Safety considerations are an important element of proper system installation. Actively thinking about the safety of yourself and others, as well as the condition of your equipment, is of primary importance. We recommend reviewing the following safety considerations. Hazardous Location Considerations This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D or non-hazardous locations only.
Installing Your Controller Use only the following communication cables in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations. Table 2.1 Cables for Use in Class I, Division 2 Hazardous Environment 1761-CBL-PM02 Series C or later 2707-NC8 Series B or later 1761-CBL-HM02 Series C or later 2707-NC9 Series B or later 1761-CBL-AM00 Series C or later 2707-NC10 Series B or later...
Installing Your Controller Power Distribution There are some points about power distribution that you should know: • 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.
Installing Your Controller Power Supply Inrush During power-up, the MicroLogix 1500 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.
Installing Your Controller power supply shuts down the system. Understanding this concept is important. Write the user program, taking 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.
Installing Your Controller 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.
Installing Your Controller 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.

• a readme first file explaining how to upgrade the operating system Preparing for Upgrade Before upgrading the controller’s operating system, you must: • Obtain the operating system upgrade from http://www.ab.com/micrologix or from your local Allen-Bradley distributor Installing a new operating system deletes the IMPORTANT controller’s user program.
Upgrading Your Operating System Performing the Upgrade The following steps occur during the upgrade process. 1. Controller mode and communications parameters are checked. 2. Download begins. 3. During the download, the Force, Battery, and Comms LEDs perform a walking bit pattern. 4.
See Chapter 4 for information about required network devices and accessories. RS-232 Communication The communications port on the MicroLogix 1500 utilizes an RS-232 interface. RS-232 is an Electronics Industries Association (EIA) Interface standard that specifies the electrical characteristics for serial binary communication.
(including the master) on the DF1 Half-Duplex link. The MicroLogix 1500 can only act as a slave device. A device that can act as a master is required to “run” the network. Several Allen-Bradley products support DF1 Half-Duplex master protocol.
The only other way to remove program ownership is to cycle power on the processor. Using Modems with The types of modems that you can use with MicroLogix 1500 controllers include dial-up phone modems, leased-line modems, radio MicroLogix 1500 modems and line drivers.
Dial-Up Phone Modems Some dial-up phone line modems support point-to-point Full-Duplex communications. A MicroLogix 1500 controller, on the receiving end of the dial-up connection, can be configured for DF1 Full-Duplex protocol with or without handshaking. The modem connected to the MicroLogix controller should support auto-answer.
(up to several miles). Line drivers are available in Full- and Half-Duplex models. Allen-Bradley’s AIC+ Advanced Interface Converter is a Half-Duplex line driver that converts an RS-232 electrical signal into an RS-485 electrical signal, increasing the signal transmission distance from 50 to 4000 feet (8000 feet when bridged).
Understanding Communication Protocols The DH-485 protocol supports two classes of devices: initiators and responders. All initiators on the network get a chance to initiate message transfers. To determine which initiator has the right to transmit, a token passing algorithm is used. The following section describes the protocol used to control message transfers on the DH-485 network.
Understanding Communication Protocols Devices that Use the DH-485 Network In addition to the MicroLogix 1500 controllers, the devices shown in the following table also support the DH-485 network.

E-10 Understanding Communication Protocols interference. If you route the cable through conduit, follow these additional recommendations: – Use ferromagnetic conduit near critical sources of electrical interference. You can use aluminum conduit in non-critical areas. – Use plastic connectors to couple between aluminum and ferromagnetic conduit.

Setting Controller Baud Rate The best network performance occurs at the highest baud rate, which is 19200. This is the default baud rate for a MicroLogix 1500 device on the DH-485 network. All devices must be at the same baud rate. This rate is stored in the controller Communications Status file (CS0:5/8 to CS0:5/15).
