The 1760-L18AWA-EX is a Pico Controller manufactured by Allen-Bradley. This controller used in micro-automation applications are ideal for implementing control of discrete devices such as motors, valves, pilot lamps, solenoid actuated devices, indicators, siren, buzzer, horn and other devices. Pico controllers, including the 1760-L18AWA-EX is categorized as a programmable relay with capability of timing, counting and real-time clock based user application programs. This controller is powered with an input voltage of100 to 240VAC

This compact and expandable controller features embedded Input and Output channels specifically, Twelve (12) Discrete inputs that is operated with 100 to 240 VAC. These input channels are designed for current ratings of 0.5 mA at 230V ac, 50 Hz and 0.25 mA at 115V ac 60 Hz. The output channels are designed for 250VAC Voltage.

The 1760-L18AWA-EX is capable of being installed with expansion modules. Compatible expansion modules include 1760-IA12XOW6I, 1760-IB12XOB8, 1760-IA12XOW4IF, 1760-IB12XOW6I and 1760-OW2. Expansion modules connect to the host controller module through the expansion module connector that comes along with every expansion module purchased. Applicable expansion cable replacement is 1760-RPLCONN. Expansion modules can be operated with different voltage categories.

It may also be used to monitor online the user program and operational status of the controller. It is also used for effectively commissioning the device and configure expansion modules through hardware configuration.
