The Allen-Bradley 1756-L82E is a ControlLogix 5580 controller. This controller is part of the most modern
ControlLogix product line, especially designed to meet today’s industrial requirement with regards to integration and connectivity.
The 1756-L82E comes with an embedded Ethernet I/P communication port, supporting fast and gigabit
ethernet speeds specifically, 10/100 Mbps and 1 Gbps transmission rate. This communication port is ideal
for connection with linear plant ethernet network. Additionally, it allows rapid deployment as the Ethernet
supports use of commercially available ethernet network components as well as industrial grade components
for increased reliability. The Ethernet port may be used for all types of communication purposes such as
programming, communication with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Human Machine
Interface (HMI) systems as well as communication with remote I/O and controllers within the same network.
Additionally, the 1756-L82E comes with 1 USB communication port that is designed for standard
communication purposes except industrial communication and data exchange.
The 1756-L82E comes with 5MB user memory and ships with a 1784-SD2 that holds 2GB non-volatile user memory.
This controller supports up to 128,000 Discrete I/O, 4000 Analog I/O. It does not require use of batteries to retain data
within the controller’s Random Access Memory (RAM) as this controller is equipped with a more environmentally
friendly energy storage module that is composed of capacitors, however, this energy storage cannot be
replace and removed from the controller.
Similar to other ControlLogix controller, the 1756-L82E is a chassis based module that is compatible with 1756-A4,
1756-A4K, 1756-A7, 1756-A7K, 1756-A10, 1756-A10K, 1756-A13, 1756-A13K,1756-A17, 1756-A17 K Series B, Series C ControlLogix chassis.
