Chapter 1 Hardware Overview
Component Descriptions MicroLogix 1100 Memory Module and Built-in Real-time Clock
The controller has a built-in real-time clock to provide a reference for applications that need
time-based control.
The controller is shipped with a memory module port cover in place. You can order a memory
module, 1763-MM1, as an accessory. The memory module provides an optional backup of your
user program and data, and is a means to transport your programs between controllers.
The program and data in your MicroLogix 1100 controller is nonvolatile and is stored when the
power is lost to the controller. The memory module provides additional backup that can be
stored separately. The memory module does not increase the available memory of the
controller.

ATTENTION: UNSUPPORTED CONNECTION
Do not connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to another MicroLogix family
controller such as MicroLogix 1000, MicroLogix 1200, MicroLogix 1500, or the
network port of a 1747-DPS1 port splitter with a 1761- CBL-AM00 (8-pin
mini-DIN to 8-pin mini-DIN) cable or equivalent.
This type of connection damages the RS-232/RS-485 communication port
(Channel 0) of the MicroLogix 1100 and/or the controller itself. The
communication pins that are used for RS-485 communications on the
MicroLogix 1100 controller are alternately used for 24V power on the other
MicroLogix controllers and the network port of the 1747-DPS1 port splitter.

Chapter 1 Hardware Overview
Communication Options MicroLogix 1100 controllers provide two communications ports: an isolated combination
RS-232/RS-485 communication port (Channel 0) and an Ethernet port (Channel 1).
You can connect the isolated Channel 0 port on the MicroLogix 1100 controller to the following:
Operator interfaces, personal computers, and so on, using DF1 Full-duplex
point-to-point
A DH-485 network
A DF1 Radio Modem network
A DF1 Half-duplex network as an RTU master or RTU slave
A Modbus network as an RTU master or RTU slave
An ASCII network
An Ethernet network using the Ethernet Interface module
(1761-NET-ENI or 1761-NET-ENIW)
When connecting to a DH-485 network, DF1 Half-duplex network
(a)
or a Modbus network, the
MicroLogix 1100 controller can be connected directly to Channel 0 (without an Advanced
Interface Converter, 1761-NET-AIC). The Channel 0 combo port provides both RS-232 and
RS-485 isolated connections. The appropriate electrical interface is selected through your
choice of communication cable. The existing MicroLogix 1761 communication cables provide
an interface to the RS-232 drivers. The 1763-NC01 cable provides an interface to the RS-485
drivers (for DH-485, Modbus RTU Master, RTU slave networks, DF1 Half-duplex master
(a)
, and
DF1 Half-duplex slave

Installation Considerations Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure (Pollution Degree 2
(a)
) to
reduce the effects of electrical interference (Over Voltage Category II
(b)
) and environmental
exposure. Locate your controller as far as possible from power lines, load lines, and other
sources of electrical noise such as hard-contact switches, relays, and AC motor drives. For
more information on proper grounding guidelines, see the Industrial Automation Wiring and
Grounding Guidelines publication 1770-4.1
.
Safety Considerations Safety considerations are an important element of proper system installation. Actively
considering the safety of yourself and others, and 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. The following WARNING statement applies to use in hazardous locations.
(a) Pollution Degree 2 is an environment where normally only non-conductive pollution occurs except that occasionally
temporary conductivity that is caused by condensation shall be expected.
(b) Overvoltage Category II is the load-level section of the electrical distribution system. At this level, transient voltages are
controlled and do not exceed the impulse voltage capability of the product’s insulation.
ATTENTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage semiconductor devices
inside the controller. Do not touch the connector pins or other sensitive areas.
ATTENTION: Vertical mounting of the controller is not supported due to heat
build-up considerations.
ATTENTION: Be careful of metal chips when drilling mounting holes for your
controller or other equipment within the enclosure or panel. Drilled fragments
that fall into the controller or I/O modules could cause damage. Do not drill
holes above a mounted controller if the protective debris shields are removed
or the processor is installed.
ATTENTION: Do not place the MicroLogix 1100 programmable controller in
direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight could degrade the LCD
display and have adverse effects on the controller. The controller is not
designed for outdoor use.
16 Rockwell Automation Publication 1763-UM001G-EN-P - May 2024
Chapter 2 Install Your Controller
Use only the communication cables that are listed in Table 2 in Class I Division 2 hazardous
locations.
Disconnecting Main Power
The main power disconnect switch should be located where operators and maintenance
personnel have quick and easy access to it. In addition to disconnecting electrical power, all
other sources of power (pneumatic and hydraulic) should be de-energized before working on a
machine or process that is controlled by a controller.
Safety Circuits
Circuits installed on the machine for safety reasons, like overtravel limit switches, stop push
buttons, and interlocks, should always be hard-wired directly to the master control relay.
These devices must be wired in series so that when any one device opens, the master control
relay is de-energized, which removes power to the machine. Never alter these circuits to
defeat their function. Serious injury or machine damage could result.
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD
Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I Division 2.
Do not replace components or disconnect equipment unless power has been
switched off.
Do not connect or disconnect components unless power has been switched
off.
This product must be installed in an enclosure. All cables connected to the
product must remain in the enclosure or be protected by conduit or other
means.
All wiring must comply with N.E.C. article 501-10(b).
The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool.
For applicable equipment (for example, relay modules), exposure to some
chemicals may degrade the sealing properties of the materials that are used
in these devices:
- Relays, epoxy
It is recommended that you periodically inspect these devices for any
degradation of properties and replace the module if degradation is found.

Chapter 2 Install 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 remains powered even when the master control relay is de-energized.
If you are using a DC power supply, interrupt the load side rather than the AC line power.
This avoids the additional delay of power supply turn-off. The DC power supply should
be powered directly from the fused secondary of the transformer. Power to the DC input
and output circuits should be connected through a set of master control relay contacts.
Periodic Tests of Master Control Relay Circuit
Any part can fail, including the switches in a master control relay circuit. The failure of one of
these switches would most likely cause an open circuit, which is a safe power-off failure.
However, if one of these switches shorts out, it no longer provides any safety protection.
These switches should be tested periodically to help verify that they stop machine motion
when needed.
Power Considerations The following explains the power considerations for the micro controllers.
Isolation Transformers
Consider using an isolation transformer in the AC line to the controller. This type of
transformer provides isolation from your power distribution system to reduce the electrical
noise that enters the controller and is often used as a step-down transformer to reduce line
voltage. Any transformer that is used with the controller must have a sufficient power rating
for its load. The power rating is expressed in voltamperes (VA).
Power Supply Inrush
During power-up, the MicroLogix 1100 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 could sag
momentarily.
The only effect of limited inrush current and voltage sag on the MicroLogix 1100 controller is
that the power supply capacitors charge more slowly. However, consider the effect of a
voltage sag on other equipment. For example, a deep voltage sag could reset a computer that
is connected to the same power source. The following considerations determine whether the
power source is required to supply high inrush current:
The power-up sequence of devices in a system
The amount of the power source voltage sag if the inrush current cannot be supplied
The effect of voltage sag on other equipment in the system
If the entire system is powered-up simultaneously, a brief sag in the power source voltage
typically does not affect any equipment.
Loss of Power Source
The power supply is designed to withstand brief power losses without affecting the operation
of the system. The time that the system is operational during power loss is called program
scan hold-up time after loss of power. The duration of the power supply hold-up time depends
on the type and state of the I/O, but is typically between 10 milliseconds and 3 seconds. When
the duration of power loss reaches this limit, the power supply signals the processor that it
can no longer provide adequate DC power to the system. This is referred to as a power supply
shutdown. The processor then performs an orderly shutdown of the controller.
18 Rockwell Automation Publication 1763-UM001G-EN-P - May 2024
Chapter 2 Install Your Controller
Input States on Power Down
The power supply hold-up time that is described previously is longer than the turn-on and
turn-off times of the inputs. Because of this, the input state change from On to Off that occurs
when power is removed could be recorded by the processor before the power supply shuts
down the system. Understanding this concept is important. The user program should be
written to take 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 drops substantially below the normal line voltage range for a period of
time. Both of these conditions are considered to be a loss of power for the system.
Help Prevent Excessive
Heat
For most applications, normal convective cooling keeps the controller within the specified
operating range. Confirm that the specified temperature range is maintained. Proper spacing
of components within an enclosure is sufficient for heat dissipation.
In some applications, a substantial amount of heat is produced by other equipment inside or
outside the enclosure. In this case, place blower fans inside the enclosure to help with air
circulation and to reduce hot spots near the controller.
Additional cooling provisions might be necessary when high ambient temperatures are
encountered.
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. This removes power to input and
output device circuits. See Figure 4
and Figure 5.
Place the main power disconnect switch where operators and maintenance personnel have
quick and easy access to it. If you mount a disconnect switch inside the controller enclosure,
place the switch operating handle on the outside of the enclosure, so that you can disconnect
power without opening the enclosure.
Whenever any of the emergency stop switches are opened, power to input and output devices
should be removed.
When you use the master control relay to remove power from the external I/O circuits, power
continues to be provided to the controller’s power supply so that diagnostic indicators on the
processor can still be observed.
Do not bring in unfiltered outside air. Place the controller in an enclosure to
protect it from a corrosive atmosphere. Harmful contaminants or dirt could cause
improper operation or damage to components. In extreme cases, you can use air
conditioning to protect against heat build-up within the enclosure.
ATTENTION: Never alter these circuits to defeat their function since serious
injury and/or machine damage could result.
If you are using an external DC power supply, interrupt the DC output side rather
than the AC line side of the supply to avoid the additional delay of power supply
turn-off.
The AC line of the DC output power supply should be fused.
Connect a set of master control relays in series with the DC power supplying the
input and output circuits.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1763-UM001G-EN-P - May 2024 19
Chapter 2 Install Your Controller
The master control relay is not a substitute for a disconnect to the controller. It is intended for
any situation where the operator must quickly de-energize I/O devices only. When inspecting
or installing terminal connections, replacing output fuses, or working on equipment within the
enclosure, use the disconnect to shut off power to the rest of the system.
Emergency Stop Switches
When using emergency stop switches, adhere to the following points:
Do not program emergency stop switches in the controller program. Any emergency
stop switch should turn off all machine power by turning off the master control relay.
Observe all applicable local codes concerning the placement and labeling of emergency
stop switches.
Install emergency stop switches and the master control relay in your system. Verify that
relay contacts have a sufficient rating for your application. Emergency stop switches
must be easy to reach.
In the following illustration, input and output circuits are shown with MCR protection.
However, in most applications, only output circuits require MCR protection.
Figure 4
and Figure 5, show the master control relay that is wired in a grounded 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.
In most applications, input circuits do not require MCR protection; however, if you
must remove power from all field devices, you must include MCR contacts in series
with input power wiring.

You can connect up to four expansion I/O modules to a controller.
ATTENTION: Remove power before removing or inserting an I/O module.
When you remove or insert a module with power applied, an electric arc may
occur. An electric arc can cause personal injury or property damage by:
Sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field devices, causing the
controller to fault
Causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and
its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance,
reducing product reliability.
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD
In Class I Division 2 applications, the bus connector must be fully seated and
the bus connector cover must be snapped in place.
In Class I Division 2 applications, all modules must be mounted in direct

Chapter 3
Wire Your Controller
Wiring Requirements Wiring Recommendation
Allow for at least 50 mm (2 in.) between I/O wiring ducts or terminal strips and the
controller.
Route incoming power to the controller by a path separate from the device wiring.
Where paths must cross, their intersection should be perpendicular.
Separate wiring by signal type. Bundle wiring with similar electrical characteristics
together.
Separate input wiring from output wiring.
Label wiring to all devices in the system. Use tape, shrink-tubing, or other dependable
means for labeling purposes. In addition to labeling, use colored insulation to identify
wiring based on signal characteristics. For example, you may use blue for DC wiring and
red for AC wiring.
Wiring the Terminal Block
The MicroLogix 1100 controllers have screw-cage clamps on the input and output terminal
blocks. With screw-cage clamp terminal blocks, there is no need to attach additional hardware
such as a spade lug to the wire, or use a fingersafe cover.
To wire the terminal block:
1. Strip the end of the wire.
The recommended length for the stripped end of the wire is 11.0 mm (0.44 in.).
2. Insert it into an open clamp.
ATTENTION: Before you install and wire any device, disconnect power to the
controller system.
ATTENTION: Calculate the maximum possible current in each power and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current
allowable for each wire size. Current above the maximum rating may cause
wiring to overheat, which can cause damage.
United States Only: If the controller is installed within a potentially hazardous
environment, all wiring must comply with the requirements stated in the
National Electrical Code 501-10 (b).
Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same conduit.
Wires with different signal characteristics should be routed by separate paths.

3. Using a small screwdriver, tighten the terminal screw. To ensure that the wire
conductor is secured inside the clamp, tighten it to the rated torque, 0.56 N•m
(5.0 lb•in).
The diameter of the terminal screw head is 5.5 mm (0.22 in.).
Use Surge Suppressors Because of the potentially high current surges that occur when switching inductive load
devices, such as motor starters and solenoids, the use of some type of surge suppression to
protect and extend the operating life of the controllers output contacts is required. Switching
inductive loads without surge suppression can significantly reduce the life expectancy of relay
contacts. By adding a suppression device directly across the coil of an inductive device, you
prolong the life of the output or relay contacts. You also reduce the effects of voltage
transients and electrical noise from radiating into adjacent systems.
Figure 13
shows an output with a suppression device. We recommend that you locate the
suppression device as close as possible to the load device.
Figure 13 - Output with Suppression Device Example
If the outputs are DC, we recommend that you use an 1N4004 diode for surge suppression, as
shown in Figure 14. For inductive DC load devices, a diode is suitable. A 1N4004 diode is
acceptable for most applications. A surge suppressor can also be used. See Table 4
for
recommended suppressors. As shown in Figure 14
, these surge suppression circuits connect
directly across the load device.

Figure 14 - Relay or Solid-state DC Output with Suppression Device Example
Suitable surge suppression methods for inductive AC load devices include a varistor, an RC
network, or an Allen-Bradley surge suppressor, all shown in Figure 15. These components must
be appropriately rated to suppress the switching transient characteristic of the particular
inductive device. See the table on 32 for recommended suppressors.

Recommended Surge Suppressors
Use the Allen-Bradley surge suppressors shown in Table 4 for use with relays, contactors, and
starters.
Ground the Controller In solid-state control systems, grounding and wire routing helps limit the effects of noise due
to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw of
the controller to the ground bus prior connecting any devices. Use 2.5 mm
2
(14 AWG) wire. For
AC-powered controllers, this connection must be made for safety purposes.
This product is intended to be mounted to a well grounded mounting surface such as a metal
panel. See the Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1
, for
additional information. Additional grounding connections from the mounting tab or DIN rail, if
used, are not required unless the mounting surface cannot be grounded.

ATTENTION: All devices connected to the RS-232/RS-485 communication port
must be referenced to controller ground, or be floating (not referenced to a
potential other than ground). Failure to follow this procedure may result in
property damage or personal injury.
For 1763-L16BWA controllers, the COM of the sensor supply is also connected to
chassis ground internally. The 24V DC sensor power source should not be used
to power output circuits. It should only be used to power input devices.
For 1763-L16BBB and 1763-L16DWD controllers, the VDC NEUT or common
terminal of the power supply is also connected to chassis ground internally.
Use all four mounting positions for panel mounting installation.

Controller I/O Wiring Minimizing Electrical Noise
Because of the variety of applications and environments where controllers are installed and
operating, it is impossible to ensure that all environmental noise will be removed by input
filters. To help reduce the effects of environmental noise, install the MicroLogix 1100 system in
a properly rated (for example, NEMA) enclosure. Make sure that the MicroLogix 1100 system is
properly grounded.
A system may malfunction due to a change in the operating environment after a period of
time. We recommend periodically checking system operation, particularly when new
machinery or other noise sources are installed near the MicroLogix 1100 system.
Wire Your Analog Channels Analog input circuits can monitor voltage signals and convert them to serial digital data.
Analog Channel Wiring Guidelines
Consider the following when wiring your analog channels:
The analog common (COM) is connected to earth ground inside the module. These
terminals are not electrically isolated from the system. They are connected to chassis
ground.
Analog channels are not isolated from each other.

Use Belden 8761, or equivalent, shielded wire.
Under normal conditions, the drain wire (shield) should be connected to the metal
mounting panel (earth ground). Keep the shield connection to earth ground as short as
possible.
To ensure optimum accuracy for voltage-type inputs, limit overall cable impedance by
keeping all analog cables as short as possible. Locate the I/O system as close to your
voltage-type sensors or actuators as possible.
The controller does not provide loop power for analog inputs. Use a power supply that
matches the transmitter specifications as shown in Figure 28
.
Figure 28 - Sensor/Transmitter Types
Minimize Electrical Noise on Analog Channels
Inputs on analog channels employ digital high-frequency filters that significantly reduce the
effects of electrical noise on input signals. However, because of the variety of applications
and environments where analog controllers are installed and operated, it is impossible to
ensure that all environmental noise will be removed by the input filters.
Several specific steps can be taken to help reduce the effects of environmental noise on
analog signals:
Install the MicroLogix 1100 system in a properly rated (for example, NEMA) enclosure.
Make sure that the MicroLogix 1100 system is properly grounded.
Use Belden cable #8761 for wiring the analog channels, making sure that the drain wire
and foil shield are properly earth grounded.
Route the Belden cable separately from any AC wiring. Additional noise immunity can be
obtained by routing the cables in a grounded conduit.
Ground Your Analog Cable
Use a shielded communication cable (Belden #8761). The Belden cable has two signal wires
(black and clear), one drain wire, and a foil shield. The drain wire and foil shield must be
grounded at one end of the cable.

Analog Wiring
Consider the following when wiring your analog modules:
The analog common (COM) is not connected to earth ground inside the module. All
terminals are electrically isolated from the system.
Channels are not isolated from each other.
Use Belden 8761, or equivalent, shielded wire.
Under normal conditions, the drain wire (shield) should be connected to the metal
mounting panel (earth ground). Keep the shield connection to earth ground as short as
possible.
To ensure optimum accuracy for voltage-type inputs, limit overall cable impedance by
keeping all analog cables as short as possible. Locate the I/O system as close to your
voltage-type sensors or actuators as possible.
The module does not provide loop power for analog inputs. Use a power supply that
matches the input transmitter specifications.
1762-IF2OF2 Input Type Selection
Select the input type, current or voltage, using the switches on the module’s circuit board and
the input type/range selection bits in the Configuration Data File. See the MicroLogix 1100
Programmable Controllers Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication 1763-RM001
. You can
access the switches through the ventilation slots on the top of the module. Switch 1 controls
channel 0; switch 2 controls channel 1. The factory default setting for both switch 1 and switch
2 is Current. Switch positions are shown in Figure 42
.
Figure 42 - Select Input Type with the Switches
1762-IF2OF2 Output Type Selection
The output type selection, current or voltage, is made by wiring to the appropriate terminals,
Iout or Vout, and by the type/range selection bits in the Configuration Data File. See the
MicroLogix 1100 Programmable Controllers Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication

.
ATTENTION: Analog outputs may fluctuate for less than a second when power
is applied or removed. This characteristic is common to most analog outputs.
While the majority of loads will not recognize this short signal, it is
recommended that preventive measures be taken to ensure that connected
equipment is not affected.

Chapter 4
Communication Connections
The method that you use and cabling that is required to connect your controller depends on
what type of system you are employing. This chapter also describes how the controller
establishes communication with the appropriate network.
The MicroLogix 1100 controllers provide two communication channels, an isolated
RS-232/RS-485 communication port (Channel 0) and an Ethernet port (Channel 1).
Supported Communication
Protocols
MicroLogix 1100 controllers support the following communication protocols from the primary
RS-232/RS-485 communication channel, Channel 0:
•DH-485
•DF1 Full-duplex
DF1 Half-duplex master and slave
DF1 Radio modem
Modbus RTU master and slave
•ASCII
The Ethernet communication channel, Channel 1, allows your controller to be connected to a
local area network for various devices providing 10 Mbps/100 Mbps transfer rate.
MicroLogix 1100 controllers support CIP explicit messaging (message exchange). MicroLogix
1100 controllers do not support Ethernet I/O master capability through CIP implicit messaging
(real-time I/O messaging).
For more information on MicroLogix 1100 communications, see the MicroLogix 1100
Programmable Controllers Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication 1763-RM001
.
Default Communication
Configuration
The MicroLogix 1100 communication Channel 0 has the following default communication
configuration.
See Use the LCD and Keypad on page 71
for more information about using the LCD Display.
See Connect to Networks via Ethernet Interface on page 155
for more information on
communicating.
For Channel 0, the default configuration is present when:
The controller is powered-up for the first time.
The Communications Toggle functionality specifies default communications
(Specified using the LCD Display. The DCOMM indicator on the LCD Display is On,
that is, lit in solid rectangle.).
An OS upgrade is completed.

Chapter 4 Communication Connections
Connect to the RS-232 Port There are two ways to connect the MicroLogix 1100 programmable controller to your computer
using the DF1 protocol: using a point-to-point connection or using a modem. Descriptions of
these methods follow.
Make a DF1 Point-to-point Connection
You can connect the MicroLogix 1100 programmable controller to your computer using a serial
cable (1761-CBL-PM02) from your computer’s serial port to the controller’s Channel 0. The
recommended protocol for this configuration is DF1 Full-duplex.
You can connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to your computer directly without using an
external optical isolator, such as Advanced Interface Converter (AIC+), catalog number
1761-NET-AIC, as shown in Figure 53
, because Channel 0 is isolated within the controller.
ATTENTION: All devices connected to the RS-232/RS-485 communication port
must be referenced to controller ground, or be floating (not referenced to a
potential other than ground). Failure to follow this procedure may result in
property damage or personal injury.
For 1763-L16BWA controllers, the COM of the sensor supply is also connected to
chassis ground internally. The 24V DC sensor power source should not be used
to power output circuits. It should only be used to power input devices.
For 1763-L16BBB and 1763-L16DWD controllers, the VDC NEUT or common
terminal of the power supply is also connected to chassis ground internally.

2707-NC9, series C or later cables are required for Class I Div 2 applications 15 m (49.2 ft.)
1763-NC01, series A or later 30 cm (11.8 in.)
ATTENTION: UNSUPPORTED CONNECTION
Do not connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to another MicroLogix family
controller such as MicroLogix 1000, MicroLogix 1200, MicroLogix 1500, or to the
1747-DPS1 network port using a 1761-CBL-AM00 (8-pin mini-DIN to 8-pin mini-
DIN) cable or equivalent.
This type of connection causes damage to the RS-232/RS-485 communication
port (Channel 0) of the MicroLogix 1100 controller and/or the controller itself.
Communication pins that are used for RS-485 communications are alternately
used for 24V power on the other MicroLogix controllers and the 1747-DPS1
network port.

Use a Modem
You can use modems to connect a computer to one MicroLogix 1100 controller (using DF1 Full-
duplex protocol), to multiple controllers (using DF1 Half-duplex protocol), or Modbus RTU slave
protocol via Channel 0, as shown in Figure 54
. See Connect to Networks via RS-232/RS-485
Interface on page 145 for information on the types of modems that you can use with the micro
controllers.

Channel 0 is isolated within the controller.
IMPORTANT Do not attempt to use the DH-485 protocol through modems under any
circumstance. The communication timing using the DH-485 protocol is
not supported by modem communications.

Error Detection CRC, BCC
EOT Suppression
Enabled, disabled
When EOT Suppression is enabled, the slave does not respond when polled if no message is queued. This saves modem
transmission power and time when there is no message to transmit.
Duplicate Packet (Message) Detect
Enabled, disabled
Detects and eliminates duplicate responses to a message. Duplicate packets may be sent under noisy communication conditions if
the sender’s Message Retries are not set to 0.
Poll Timeout (x20 ms)
0...65,535 (can be set in 20 ms increments)
Poll Timeout only applies when a slave device initiates a MSG instruction. It is the amount of time that the slave device waits for a
poll from the master device. If the slave device does not receive a poll within the Poll Timeout, a MSG instruction error is generated,
and the ladder program must requeue the MSG instruction. If you are using a MSG instruction, it is recommended that a Poll
Timeout value of zero not be used. Poll Timeout is disabled when set to zero.
RTS Off Delay (x20 ms)
0...65,535 (can be set in 20 ms increments)
Specifies the delay time between when the last serial character is sent to the modem and when RTS is deactivated. Gives the
modem extra time to transmit the last character of a packet.
RTS Send Delay (x20 ms)
0...65,535 (can be set in 20 ms increments)
Specifies the time delay between setting RTS until checking for the CTS response. For use with modems that are not ready to
respond with CTS immediately upon receipt of RTS.
Message Retries
0...255
Specifies the number of times a slave device attempts to resend a message packet when it does not receive an ACK from the
master device. For use in noisy environments where message packets may become corrupted in transmission.
Pre Transmit Delay
(x1 ms)
0...65,535 (can be set in 1 ms increments)
When the Control Line is set to no handshaking, this is the delay time before transmission. Required for 1761-NET-AIC physical half-
duplex networks. The 1761-NET-AIC needs a delay time to change from transmit to receive mode.
When the Control Line is set to DF1 Half-duplex Modem, this is the minimum time delay between receiving the last character of a
packet and the RTS assertion.

Connecting to a DH-485
Network
The network diagrams on the next pages provide examples of how to connect MicroLogix 1100
controllers to the DH-485 network.
You can connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to your DH-485 network directly without using an
external optical isolator, such as MicroLogix and SLC Communication Adapter (1761-NET-AIC),
as shown in Figure 58
, because Channel 0 is isolated within the controller.
Figure 57 - 1761-NC01 MicroLogix Cable
We recommend that you use a 1747-UIC USB interface to connect your computer to a DH-485
network. For more information on the 1747-UIC, see the Universal Serial Bus (USB) to DH-485
Interface Converter Installation Instructions, publication 1747-IN063
.
DH-485 Configuration Parameters
When MicroLogix communications are configured for DH-485, the following parameters can be
changed:
See Software Considerations on page 150
for tips on setting the parameters listed in Table 10.
Use a 1763-NC01 series A or later (8-pin mini-DIN to 6-pin DH-485 connector) cable
or equivalent to connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to a DH-485 network.

Chapter 4 Communication Connections
Typical 3-node Network (Channel 0 Connection)
Recommended Tools
To connect a DH-485 network to additional devices, you need tools to strip the shielded cable
and to attach the cable to the AIC+ Advanced Interface Converter. We recommend the
following equipment (or equivalent):
DH-485 Communication Cable
The suggested DH-485 communication cable is either Belden #3106A or #9842. The cable is
jacketed and shielded with one or two twisted-wire pairs and a drain wire.
One pair provides a balanced signal line and one additional wire is used for a common
reference line between all nodes on the network. The shield reduces the effect of electrostatic
noise from the industrial environment on network communication.
The communication cable consists of a number of cable segments daisy chained together. The
total length of the cable segments cannot exceed 1219 m (4000 ft.). However, two segments
can be used to extend the DH-485 network to 2438 m (8000 ft.). For additional information on
connections using the AIC+, see the AIC+ Advanced Interface Converter User Manual,
publication 1761-UM004
.
When cutting cable segments, make them long enough to route them from one AIC+ to the
next, with sufficient slack to help prevent strain on the connector. Allow enough extra cable to
help prevent chafing and kinking in the cable.
Use these instructions for wiring the Belden #3106A or #9842 cable. See Cable Selection Guide
on page 64 if you are using standard Allen-Bradley cables.)

Ground and Terminate the DH-485 Network
Only one connector at the end of the link must have Terminals 1 and 2 jumpered together. This
provides an earth ground connection for the shield of the communication cable.
Both ends of the network must have Terminals 5 and 6 jumpered together, as shown in
Figure 62
. This connects the termination impedance (of 120 Ω) that is built into each AIC+ or
the 1763-NC01 cable as required by the DH-485 specification.
Figure 62 - End-of-Line Termination
MicroLogix 1100 Channel 0 to DH-485 Communication Cable Pinout
When connecting the MicroLogix 1100 controller Channel 0 to a DH-485 communication cable
pinout using an RS-232 cable, the maximum that the cable length may be extended is 15.24 m
(50 ft.). See Figure 63
.
Figure 63 - DH-485 Communications Cable Pinout
Connect the AIC+ You can connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to a DH-485 network via Channel 0 directly
without using an optical isolator, such as AIC+, catalog number 1761-NET-AIC, because Channel
0 is isolated. However, you must use an AIC+ to connect your computer or other MicroLogix
family products, such as MicroLogix 1200 controllers, to a DH-485 network.

Safety Considerations
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, or non-hazardous
locations only.
See Safety Considerations on page 15
for additional information.
Install and Attach the AIC+
1. Take care when installing the AIC+ in an enclosure so that the cable connecting the
MicroLogix controller to the AIC+ does not interfere with the enclosure door.
2. Carefully plug the terminal block into the RS-485 port on the AIC+ you are putting on the
network. Allow enough cable slack to help prevent stress on the plug.
3. Provide strain relief for the Belden cable after it is wired to the terminal block. This
guards against breakage of the Belden cable wires.
Power the AIC+
MicroLogix 1000, MicroLogix 1200, and MicroLogix 1500 programmable controllers support 24V
DC communication power on Channel 0. When connected to the 8-pin mini-DIN connector on
the 1761-NET-AIC, 1761-NET-ENI, and the 1761-NET-ENIW, these controllers provide the power
for the interface converter modules.
The MicroLogix 1100 controller does not provide 24V DC communication power. Instead these
pins are used to provide RS-485 communications directly. Any AIC+, ENI, or ENIW not
connected to a MicroLogix 1000, MicroLogix 1200, or MicroLogix 1500 controller requires a 24V
DC power supply.
If both the controller and external power are connected to the AIC+, the power selection switch
determines what device powers the AIC+.
Set the DC Power Source selector switch to EXTERNAL before connecting the power supply to
the AIC+. Figure 66
shows where to connect external power for the AIC+.
Figure 66 - External Power for AIC+
ATTENTION: EXPLOSION HAZARD
AIC+ must be operated from an external power source.
This product must be installed in an enclosure. All cables connected to the
product must remain in the enclosure or be protected by conduit or other
means.
ATTENTION: If you use an external power supply, it must be 24V DC
(-15%/+20%). Permanent damage results if a higher voltage supply is used.

Power Options
There are two options for powering the AIC+:
Use the 24V DC user power supply built into the MicroLogix 1000, MicroLogix 1200, or
MicroLogix 1500 controller. The AIC+ is powered through a hard-wired connection using
a communication cable (1761-CBL-HM02, or equivalent) connected to port 2.
Use an external DC power supply with the following specifications:
- Operating voltage: 24V DC (-15%/+20%)
- Output current: 150 mA minimum
- Rated NEC Class 2
Make a hard-wired connection from the external supply to the screw terminals on the
bottom of the AIC+.
Connecting to Ethernet You can connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to an Ethernet network via the Ethernet port
(Channel 1). You do not need to use an Ethernet interface card, such as the Ethernet Interface
(ENI) and (ENIW), 1761-NET-ENI and 1761-NET-ENIW, to connect your MicroLogix 1100 controller
to an Ethernet network. For additional information on connecting to an Ethernet network, see
Connect to Networks via Ethernet Interface on page 155
.
Ethernet Connections
The Ethernet connector, Channel 1, is an RJ45, 10/100 Base-T connector. The pinout for the
connector is shown in Table 16
.
ATTENTION: Always connect the CHS GND (chassis ground) terminal to the
nearest earth ground. This connection must be made whether or not an
external 24V DC supply is used.
ATTENTION: If you use an external power supply, it must be 24V DC
(-15%/+20%). Permanent damage results if miswired with the wrong power
source.

When to use straight-through and cross-over cable:
MicroLogix 1100 controller Ethernet port to 10/100 Base-T Ethernet switch cables uses a
straight-through pinout (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 6-6).
Direct point-to-point 10/100 Base-T cables connecting the MicroLogix 1100 controller
Ethernet port directly to another Ethernet port (or a computer 10/100Base-T port)
require a cross-over pinout (1-3, 2-6, 3-1, 6-2).

Monitor Bit File The LCD allows you to view and change the data values of 48 bits in a user-defined file. You
can access to this functionality via the Monitoring screen of the LCD.
To monitor the bit file on the LCD, you have to specify its file number in the Target Bit File
Number (TBF) element of the LCD Function File and download your application program to the
controller. The TBF element can only be changed by a program download.
Target Bit File Number (TBF)
IMPORTANT If a user-defined LCD screen is used, the I/O Status screen displays:
When the user holds down the ESC key for more than 3 seconds
When time out is enabled, that is, the timeout period is set to a positive
value, and the timeout period is passed. You can enable and disable
timeout and set the timeout period using the TO element in the LCD
Function File. For more information, see the LCD Function File that is
described in the MicroLogix 1100 Programmable Controllers Instruction
Set Reference Manual, publication 1763-RM001
.
If time out is disabled, that is, the timeout period is set to zero, and a
custom LCD screen is displayed, it is displayed continuously until the
user gives an input to change to other screen. For more information,

Chapter 5 Use the LCD and Keypad
The value that is stored in the TBF element identifies the bit file with which the LCD interfaces.
Valid bit files are B3, and B10 through B255. When the LCD reads a valid bit file number, it can
access up to the first 48 bits (0...47) of the specified file on the LCD screen. The next 48 bits in
the target bit file (48...95) are used to define the read-only or read/write privileges for the first
48 bits.
The only bit file that the LCD interfaces with is the file that is specified in the TBF element.
Table 19
shows an example of how the LCD uses the configuration information with bit file
number 3 (LCD:0.TBF=3).
The bit number that is displayed on the LCD corresponds to the data address as illustrated in
the table. The protection bit defines whether the data is editable or read-only. When the
protection bit is set (1), the corresponding data address is considered read-only by the LCD.
The “Protected!” message is displayed whenever a read-only element is active on the LCD.
When the protection bit is clear (0) or the protection bit does not exist, no additional message
is displayed and the data within the corresponding address is editable from the LCD keypad.
IMPORTANT Use your programming software to verify that the bit file you specify in
the TBF element, and the appropriate number of elements, exist in the
MicroLogix 1100 user program.

IMPORTANT Although the LCD does not allow protected data to be changed from its
keypad, the control program or other communication devices do have
access to this data. Protection bits only provide LCD write protection.
They do not provide any overwrite protection to data from ladder logic,
HMI, or programming software. It is the users' responsibility to verify
that data is not inadvertently overwritten.
Remaining addresses within the target file can be used without restrictions
(addresses B3:6/0 and above, in this example).
The LCD always starts at bit 0 of a data file. It cannot start at any other address
within the file.

Chapter 5 Use the LCD and Keypad
Follow these steps to view and change the data values of the bit file B3.
1. On the Main Menu screen, select Monitoring by using the Up and Down keys on the LCD
keypad.
2. Press OK on the LCD keypad. The Bit/Integer File Select screen displays.
3. If Bit is selected, as shown in step 2
, press OK .
If not selected, press the Up or Down key to select it, and then press OK.
4. The current data value (ON) of the B3:0/0 bit is displayed. Note that “0/0” flashes, which
means the cursor is at the target bit position.
5. To change the data value of the B3:0/0 bit to OFF (0):
First, press OK to select the displayed address and move the cursor to the data value
position. Then, “ON” flashes, which means the cursor is at the data value position.
6. Press the Down key. Then, the data value is represented as “OFF”. Note that “OFF”
continues to flash, which means the cursor is still at the data value position.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1763-UM001G-EN-P - May 2024 81
Chapter 5 Use the LCD and Keypad
7. Press OK to apply the changes. Then, the new value OFF (0) is applied. The target bit,
“0/0” in this example, flashes. The cursor is moved automatically to the target bit
position.
You can identify this change of data value is reflected to your RSLogix 500
programming software.
8. Now, we view an example of the data value of a protected bit, B3:0/2. Press the Up key
twice. Then, the target bit changes to “0/2” and its data value is displayed with the
“Protected!” message. Because the B3:3/2 is set (1), the B3:0/2 bit is a protected bit.
9. Try to move the cursor to the data value position by pressing OK. Because the B3:0/2 bit
is a protected bit, you find that the cursor does not move to the data value position.
When the cursor is at the data value position, press the Down key to change the
data value of a bit from ON (1) to OFF (0). Press the Up key to change from OFF (0)
to ON (1).
After changing the data value of a target bit, press OK to apply the changes or
press ESC to discard the changes.

Chapter 5 Use the LCD and Keypad
10. Press the Up key once to view the data value of the B3:0/3 bit. Because the B3:0/3 bit is
not a protected bit, only its data value, OFF (0) in this example, displays without the
“Protected!” message.
11. Press the Up key once to view the data value of the B3:0/4 bit. You find that the B3:0/3
bit is a protected bit and its data value is ON (1).
12. Hold down the Up key until the target bit becomes “2/15”.
Press the Up key again, and you find the target bit does not change to “3/0”. It is
because the maximum range of bits you can monitor with the LCD is the first 48 bits (3
words) of the specified target bit file.
13. Try to press the Up and Down keys to change the target bit to another bit. Try to change
its data value using the OK, Up and Down keys.
14. If you have finished monitoring the bit file, B3, press ESC to return to the Bit/Integer File
Select screen, as shown in step 2
.
Monitor Integer File The LCD allows you to view and change the data value of an integer file. You can access to this
functionality via the Monitoring screen of the LCD.
To monitor an integer file on the LCD, you have to specify its file number in the Target Integer
File Number (TIF) element of the LCD Function File and download your application program to
the controller. The TIF element can only be changed by a program download.
Target Integer File Number (TIF)
The value that is stored in the TIF element identifies the integer file with which the LCD
interfaces. The LCD can read or write to any valid integer file within the controller. Valid
integer files are N3 through N255. When the LCD reads a valid integer file number, it can
access up to the first 48 elements (words 0…47) of the specified file on the LCD screen. The
next 48 bits (words 48…50) are used to define the read-only or read/write privileges for the
first 48 elements.
The only integer file that the LCD interfaces with is the file that is specified in the TIF element.
Table 20
shows an example of how the LCD uses the configuration information with integer file
number 7 (LCD:0.TIF=7).
IMPORTANT The maximum range of bits you can monitor with the Bit File Monitoring
functionality on the LCD is the first 48 bits (3 words).

Chapter 5 Use the LCD and Keypad
The element number that is displayed on the LCD corresponds to the data address as
illustrated in the table. The protection bit defines whether the data is editable or read-only.
When the protection bit is set (1), the corresponding data address is considered read-only by
the LCD. The “Protected!” message is displayed whenever a read-only element is active on the
LCD. When the protection bit is clear (0) or the protection bit does not exist, no additional
message is displayed and the data within the corresponding address is editable from the LCD
keypad.
Monitor an Integer File
For the explanations in this section, we assume the following in the application program:
An integer file N7, which is 53 elements long (53 words), is defined with the preset data,
as shown in Figure 76

IMPORTANT Although you cannot change protected data from the LCD keypad, the
control program or other communication devices have access to
protected data. Protection bits do not provide any overwrite protection
to data within the target integer file. It is entirely the user’s
responsibility to verify that data is not inadvertently overwritten.
Remaining addresses within the target file can be used without restrictions
(addresses N7:51 and above, in this example).
The LCD always starts at word 0 of a data file. It cannot start at any other address

Use Real-time Clock and Memory Modules
The MicroLogix 1100 controller has a built-in real-time clock (RTC). You can order a memory
module as an accessory.
One type of memory module is available for use with the MicroLogix 1100 controller.
Real-time Clock Operation Operation at Power-up and Entering a Run or Test Mode
At power-up and when the controller enters a run or test mode, the values (date, time, and
status) of the RTC are written to the RTC Function File in the controller.
Table 22
indicates the accuracy of the RTC for various temperatures.
Write Data to the Real-time Clock
When valid data is sent to the real-time clock from the programming device or another
controller, the new values take effect immediately.
The real-time clock does not allow you to load or store invalid date or time data.
RTC Battery Operation
The real-time clock uses the same replaceable battery that the controller uses. The RTC
Function File features a battery low indicator bit (RTC:0/BL), which shows the status of the
replacement battery. When the battery is low, the indicator bit is set (1). This means that the
battery wire connector could be disconnected or if the battery is connected, the battery may
be ready to fail in the next two weeks. In the latter case, the replacement battery must be
replaced with a new one. When the battery low indicator bit is clear (0), the battery level is
acceptable.
The Battery Low (BAT.LO) indicator on the LCD display of the controller also shows the status of
the replaceable battery. When the battery is low, the indicator displays as a solid rectangle ( ).
When the battery level is acceptable, the indicator displays as an empty rectangle ( ), as
shown in Figure 79
.

Figure 79 - LCD Battery Level Indicator
If the RTC battery is low and the controller is powered, the RTC operates normally. If the
controller power is removed and the RTC battery is low, RTC data is lost.
Memory Module Operation The memory module supports the following features:
User Program, User Data, and Recipe Back-up
User Program Compare
Data File Download Protection
Memory Module Write Protection
Removal/Insertion Under Power
Memory Module Information File
Program/Data Download
Program/Data Upload
User Program, User Data, and Recipe Back-up
The memory module provides a simple and flexible program, data and recipe transport
mechanism, allowing the user to transfer the program, data, and recipe to the controller
without the use of a personal computer and programming software.
The memory module can store one user program at a time.
During program transfers to or from the memory module, the controller’s RUN LED flashes.
Program Compare
The memory module can also provide application security, allowing you to specify that if the
program stored in the memory module does not match the program in the controller, the
controller will not enter an executing (run or test) mode. To enable this feature, set the S:2/9
bit in the system status file. See “Status System File” in the MicroLogix 1100 Programmable
Controllers Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication 1763-RM001
for more information.
ATTENTION: Operating with a low battery indication for more than 14 days (8
hours without a battery) may result in invalid RTC data unless power is on
continuously.

Chapter 6 Use Real-time Clock and Memory Modules
Data File Download Protection
The memory module supports data file download protection. This allows user data to be saved
(not overwritten) during a download.
Memory Module Write Protection
The memory module supports write-once, read-many behavior. Write protection is enabled
using your programming software.
Removal/Insertion Under Power
The memory module can be installed or removed at any time without risk of damage to either
the memory module or the controller, except during a data transaction. If the memory module
is removed during a data transaction, data corruption can occur.
If a memory module is installed while the MicroLogix 1100 controller is executing, the memory
module is not recognized until either a power cycle occurs, or until the controller is placed in a
non-executing mode (program mode, suspend mode, or fault condition).
Memory Module Information File
The controller has a Memory Module Information (MMI) File, which provides status from the
attached memory module. At power-up or on detection of a memory module being inserted,
the catalog number, series, revision, and type are identified and written to the MMI file. If a
memory module is not attached, zeros are written to the MMI file. See the MicroLogix 1100
Programmable Controllers Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication 1763-RM001
, for more
information.
Program/Data Download
To download the program and data from a memory module to the controller’s memory, on the
“Comms” menu in your RSLogix 500 programming software, point “EEPROM” and then select
“Load from EEPROM”.
Program/Data Upload
To upload the program and data from the controller’s memory to a memory module, on the
“Comms” menu in your RSLogix 500 programming software, point “EEPROM” and then select
“Store to EEPROM”.
Data file download protection is only functional if the processor does not have a
fault, the size of all protected data files in the memory module exactly match the
size of protected data files within the controller, and all protected data files are of
the same type. See “Protecting Data Files During Download” in the MicroLogix 1100
Programmable Controllers Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication
1763-RM001
.
IMPORTANT Once set, write protection cannot be removed. A change cannot be
made to the control program stored in a write-protected memory
module. If a change is required, use another memory module.
For more information on program/data download, see your RSLogix 500
programming software documentation.
For more information on program/data upload, see your RSLogix 500

Online Editing
Overview of Online Editing Online editing of ladder programs is available when using MicroLogix 1100 controller. Use this
function to make changes to a pre-existing ladder program. Online editing functions consist of
inserting, replacing, and deleting rungs in an existing ladder program while online with the
processor.
Only one programming device can perform an online edit of a user program at a time. When an
online editing session begins, an access from other programming devices are rejected by the
MicroLogix 1100 controller.
Table 23
summarizes the differences between offline and online editing.
Online Editing Terms
The following terms are used throughout this chapter.
Assemble edits — Deletes any rungs marked with Delete or Replace edit zone markers
during an online editing session. Inserted or modified rungs remain. All edit zone
markers are removed when this function is complete.
Cancel edits — Deletes any inserted or modified rungs added during an online editing
session. Rungs marked with Delete and Replace edit zone markers remain. All edit zone
markers are removed when this function is complete.
Test edits — Allows you to verify that the changes you entered are not going to cause
improper machine operation before you make the changes a permanent part of your
ladder program.
Untest edits — Allows you to disable testing
ATTENTION: Before initiating an online editing session, we recommend that
you fully understand the possible results of the edit to the system under
control. Failure to properly edit a running program could result in unexpected
controller operation. Physical injury or equipment damage may result.
While three instructions, MSG, PTO, and PWM, are supported by program mode
online edit, they are not supported by RUNTIME (RUN mode) online edit. See
the MicroLogix 1100 Programmable Controllers Instruction Set Reference
Manual, publication 1763-RM001
for additional details.
Table 23 - Differences Between Offline and Online Editing
Offline Online
No restrictions exist. Full
editing capabilities are allowed.
Data table file resizing is not permitted.
Program file creation and deletion are not permitted.
Alteration of file protection is not permitted.
Alteration of static and constant data file values is not permitted.
Indexing across file boundary selections is not permitted.
Force protection selection is not permitted.
I/O configuration is not permitted.
IMPORTANT It is important to keep in mind that some ladder instructions, when
programmed online, cause data table values to change. These
instructions are those that require timer, counter, and control
addresses to be specified. This is discussed later in the chapter.
106 Rockwell Automation Publication 1763-UM001G-EN-P - May 2024
Chapter 7 Online Editing
Edit zone markers — Appear on the power rail of the ladder program display. They
indicate the type of edit taking place on the rung.
Accept rung — Incorporates the edits of a rung into the ladder program
Online edit session — Begins when a user tries to edit rungs while online. Any other
programming device that was monitoring the user program is removed from the
program monitor display.
Modify rung — When an existing rung is modified two edit zones are created. The
original rung is indicated by replace zone markers on the power rail. A copy of the
original rung is made so you can insert, delete, or modify instructions. This rung is
indicated by insert zone markers on the power rail. Thus, an IR pair is created when you
modify a rung.
Runtime online editing — The user program is executing when an edit takes place. Any
rungs that are inserted, modified, or deleted remain in the ladder program and are
indicated by edit zone markers on the power rail. Edit zone markers remain after an
action is completed.
Program online editing — The user program is not executing when an edit session
begins. Any action that inserts, deletes, or modifies a rung takes place immediately.
Figure 80
shows the process that is involved when performing a runtime online edit.
Figure 80 - Online Edit Runtime Process
Effects of Online Editing On
Your System
The following section covers the effects of online editing on your system. Keep these items in
mind while using the online editing function.
System Impacts
The scan time and interrupt latency can be extended when accepting a rung, assembling, or
canceling edits.
Memory limitations – Online edit can be performed until there is insufficient program
memory available in the processor. Note that, before assemble edits, all edited rungs are in the
processor memory consuming memory, although they are not executed.
Data Table File Size
Online editing cannot change the size of existing data tables nor can new ones be created.
However, some ladder instructions, when programmed cause data table values to change.
These instructions are those that require timer, counter, and control addresses to be
specified.

Chapter 7 Online Editing
Online Edit Error
If either electrical interference, communication loss, or a power cycle occur during an online
edit session, program integrity may be impacted. In this case, the controller generates the 1F
fault code, clears the user program, and loads the default program.
Directions and Cautions for
MicroLogix 1100 Online
Edit User
Change the RSLinx “Configure CIP Option”
(OS Series A FRN 1, 2, and 3 only)
Change the RSLinx “Configure CIP Option” to prevent ownership fault when a MicroLogix 1100
controller is connected using the RSLinx® Classic EtherNet/IP driver.
Several RSLogix 500 Online operations require obtaining the processor Edit Resource/
Processor Ownership to confirm that one programming terminal has exclusive capability of
performing any of these operations at a time. These operations include downloading, online
editing, and applying channel configuration changes.
In addition to reducing the number of RSLinx Messaging Connections per PLC to one, it is also
recommended that the Messaging Connection Retry Interval be increased from the default of
1.25 seconds to 8 seconds as shown in Figure 81
.
Figure 81 - Increase Message Connection Retry Interval
A Download is Required Before Starting Online Editing
At least one download is required before starting online editing.
If you are using a MicroLogix 1100 controller from the out-of-box state or after clearing the
processor memory or a firmware update, at least one download is required before starting
online edits. If not, an error occurs and the programming software goes offline due to default
image mismatch between the RSLogix 500 programming software and the MicroLogix 1100
controller. You can also see the fault code 1Fh, which is a user-defined fault code.
108 Rockwell Automation Publication 1763-UM001G-EN-P - May 2024
Chapter 7 Online Editing
To help prevent this error, you must download the program to the MicroLogix 1100 controller,
although the program is empty.
This problem happens only in the out-of-box state or after clearing processor memory.
In online edit during PROGRAM mode (program online edit), there are no restrictions. For
example, a user can insert an MSG instruction if a related MG file or MG/RI file is already
defined in the data file.
Types of Online Editing The type of online editing is dependent on the MicroLogix 1100 controller’s mode switch
position in the LCD display and the processor’s mode. There are two types of online editing:
Program Online Editing — When the controller is in either PROG mode or REM Program
mode
Runtime Online Editing — When the controller is in either REM Test or REM Run mode
Table 24
summarizes the MicroLogix 1100 controller mode switch positions in the LCD and
modes that enable online editing.
ATTENTION: PTO and PWM instructions may not be deleted during runtime
online edit. This is because if the PTO or PWM instructions were deleted during
runtime online edit, outputs could stop in an unpredictable state, causing
unexpected equipment operation.
If you attempt to insert or modify a rung with MSG, PTO, and PWM instruction,
the following error message is generated by the programming software
“Error: Online editing of PTO, PWM, and MSG are not allowed on ML1100 RUN
mode.” And, the rung with MSG, PTO, and PWM instruction is not accepted.
ATTENTION: When editing a rung that contains an MCR instruction, both the
MCR start and MCR end rungs must be edited (whether it be test/assemble/
cancel) simultaneously. We recommend that you fully understand the possible
results of the edit to the system under control. Failure to properly edit a
running program could result in unexpected controller operation. Physical
injury or equipment damage may result.
ATTENTION: If you use EII or STI interrupts and your application requires a
quick interrupt latency, the online edit feature is not recommended. The
online editing feature may increase the interrupt latency response time. To
achieve minimum interrupt latency, place the mode switch in the LCD screen
in the RUN mode. This prevents the use of the online editing feature.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1763-UM001G-EN-P - May 2024 109
Chapter 7 Online Editing
Edit Functions in Runtime Online Editing
During a runtime online editing session, the processor is executing ladder logic. The edit zone
markers tell the processor that changes exist, but the changes are not executed until you test
the edits.
Deleted and replaced (modified) rungs are not removed from the program and inserted rungs
are not executed until you assemble the edits.
Edit Functions in Program Online Editing
During a program online editing session, the processor is not executing ladder logic. This
mode is like the offline editing mode. If a runtime online editing session was performed before
entering the offline editing mode, edit marked rungs (I, IR, and D) appear in the program.
If you perform a program online edit, once you accept or delete the rung, the edits take effect
immediately and the power rail is displayed as a solid line. If you edit a rung with edit zone
markers, the markers are removed when the rung is accepted.

IMPORTANT Online editing is not available when the mode switch in the LCD screen
is in the RUN position.
ATTENTION: Use the online editing function while in RUN mode to make minor
changes to the ladder program. We recommend developing your program
offline since ladder rung logic changes take effect immediately after testing
your edits. Improper machine operation may occur, causing personnel injury
or equipment damage.

Battery Handling
Follow the procedure below to ensure proper battery operation and reduce personnel hazards.
Use only for the intended operation.
Do not ship or dispose of cells except according to recommended procedures.
Do not ship on passenger aircraft.
Storage
Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry environment, typically 20…25 °C (68…77 °F) and 40…60%
humidity. Store the batteries and a copy of the battery instruction sheet in the original
container, away from flammable materials.
Transportation
One or Two Batteries
Each battery contains 0.23 g (0.008 oz.) of lithium. Therefore, up to two batteries can be
shipped together within the United States without restriction. Regulations governing shipment
to or within other countries may differ.
Three or More Batteries
Procedures for the transportation of three or more batteries shipped together within the
United States are specified by the Department of Transportation (DOT) in the Code of Federal
Regulations, CFR49, “Transportation.” An exemption to these regulations, DOT - E7052, covers
the transport of certain hazardous materials classified as flammable solids. This exemption
authorizes transport of lithium batteries by motor vehicle, rail freight, cargo vessel, and cargo-
only aircraft, providing certain conditions are met. Transport by passenger aircraft is not
permitted.
A special provision of DOT-E7052 (11th Rev., October 21, 1982, par. 8-a) provides that:
“Persons that receive cell and batteries covered by this exemption may reship them
pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR 173.22a in any of these packages authorized in this
exemption including those in which they were received.”
The Code of Federal Regulations, 49 CFR 173.22a, relates to the use of packaging authorized
under exemptions. In part, it requires that you must maintain a copy of the exemption at each
facility where the packaging is being used in connection with shipment under the exemption.
Shipment of depleted batteries for disposal may be subject to specific regulation of the
countries involved or to regulations endorsed by those countries, such as the IATA Articles
Regulations of the International Air Transport Association, Geneva, Switzerland.
Do not charge the batteries. An explosion could result or the cells could
overheat causing burns.
Do not open, puncture, crush, or otherwise mutilate the batteries. A possibility
of an explosion exists and/or toxic, corrosive, and flammable liquids would be
exposed.
Do not incinerate or expose the batteries to high temperatures. Do not attempt
to solder batteries. An explosion could result.
Do not short positive and negative terminals together. Excessive heat can
build up and cause severe burns.
IMPORTANT Regulations for transportation of lithium batteries are periodically
revised. See www.dot.gov
for the latest shipping information.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1763-UM001G-EN-P - May 2024 131
Appendix B Replacement Parts
Disposal
For disposal, batteries must be packaged and shipped in accordance with transportation
regulations, to a proper disposal site. The U.S. Department of Transportation authorizes
shipment of “Lithium batteries for disposal” by motor vehicle only in regulation 173.1015 of CFR
49 (effective January 5, 1983). For additional information contact:
U.S. Department of Transportation
Research and Special Programs Administration
400 Seventh Street, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20590
Although the Environmental Protection Agency at this time has no regulations specific to
lithium batteries, the material contained may be considered toxic, reactive, or corrosive. The
person disposing of the material is responsible for any hazard created in doing so. State and
local regulations may exist regarding the disposal of these materials.

Analog Expansion I/O
Diagnostics and
Troubleshooting
Module Operation and Channel Operation
The module performs operations at two levels:
•Module level
Channel level
Module-level operations include functions such as power-up, configuration, and
communication with the controller.
Internal diagnostics are performed at both levels of operation. Both module hardware and
channel configuration error conditions are reported to the controller. Channel overrange or
underrange conditions are reported in the module’s input data table. Module hardware errors
are reported in the controller’s I/O status file. See MicroLogix 1100 Programmable Controllers
Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication 1763-RM001
for more information.
When a fault condition is detected, the analog outputs are reset to zero.
Power-up Diagnostics
At module power-up, a series of internal diagnostic tests are performed.
Critical and Non-critical Errors
Non-critical module errors are recoverable. Channel errors (overrange or underrange errors)
are non-critical. Non-critical error conditions are indicated in the module input data table.
Non-critical configuration errors are indicated by the extended error code.
Critical module errors are conditions that prevent normal or recoverable operation of the
system. When these types of errors occur, the system leaves the run mode of operation.
Critical and non-critical module errors are indicated in Table 38
.
Module Error Definition Table
Analog module errors are expressed in two fields as four-digit Hex format with the most
significant digit as “don’t care” and irrelevant. The two fields are “Module Error” and “Extended
Error Information”. The structure of the module error data is shown in Table 36
.
Module Error Field
The purpose of the module error field is to classify module errors into three distinct groups, as
described in Table 37. The type of error determines what kind of information exists in the
extended error information field. These types of module errors are typically reported in the
controller’s I/O status file. See MicroLogix 1100 Programmable Controllers Instruction Set
Reference Manual, publication 1763-RM001
for more information.

Hardware Errors
General or module-specific hardware errors are indicated by module error code 2. See
Table 38 and Table 39.
Configuration Errors
If you set the fields in the configuration file to invalid or unsupported values, the module
ignores the invalid configuration, generates a non-critical error, and keeps operating with the
previous configuration.

Connect to Networks via RS-232/RS-485
Interface
The following protocols are supported from the RS-232/RS-485 communication channel
(Channel 0):
•DF1 Full-duplex
DF1 Half-duplex master/slave
DF1 Radio modem
•DH-485
Modbus RTU master/slave
•ASCII
RS-232 Communication
Interface
The communications port on the MicroLogix 1100 controller utilizes a combined RS-232/RS-485
interface. RS-232 and RS-485 are Electronics Industries Association (EIA) standards that
specify the electrical and mechanical characteristics for serial binary communication. They
provide various system configuration possibilities. RS-232 and RS-485 define electrical
connection characteristics, not protocols.
One of the biggest benefits of an RS-232 interface is that it lets you integrate telephone and
radio modems into your control system (using the appropriate DF1 protocol only, not DH-485
protocol), but it is for point-to-point connections only between two devices.
RS-485 Communication
Interface
The RS-485 interface supports connection of up to 32 devices in a multidrop hard-wired
configuration using DH-485, DF1 Half-duplex
(a)
, or Modbus protocols. Also, the RS-485 interface
supports connection in a multidrop hard-wired configuration using ASCII protocols.
DF1 Full-duplex Protocol DF1 Full-duplex protocol provides a point-to-point connection between two devices. DF1 Full-
duplex protocol combines data transparency (American National Standards Institute ANSI -
X3.28-1976 specification subcategory D1) and 2-way simultaneous transmission with
embedded responses (subcategory F1).
MicroLogix 1100 controllers support the DF1 Full-duplex protocol via RS-232 connection to
external devices, such as computers, or other controllers that support DF1 Full-duplex.
DF1 is an open protocol. See the DF1 Protocol and Command Set Reference Manual, publication
1770-RM516
, for more information.
DF1 Full-duplex protocol (also referred to as DF1 point-to-point protocol) is useful where
RS-232 point-to-point communication is required. DF1 protocol controls message flow, detects
and signals errors, and retries if errors are detected.

Figure 91 - Example of DF1 Full-duplex Connections
DF1 Half-duplex Protocol DF1 Half-duplex protocol is a multi-drop single master/multiple slave network. DF1 Half-duplex
protocol supports data transparency (American National Standards Institute ANSI - X3.28-1976
specification subcategory D1). In contrast to DF1 Full-duplex, communication takes place in
one direction at a time. You can use the RS-232/RS-485 port on the MicroLogix 1100 controller
as both a half-duplex programming port and a half-duplex peer-to-peer messaging port.
DF1 Half-duplex Operation
A DF1 Half-duplex master device initiates all communication by polling each slave device. The
slave device can only transmit when it is polled by the master. It is the master’s responsibility
to poll each slave on a regular and sequential basis to allow slave devices an opportunity to
communicate.
An additional feature of the DF1 Half-duplex protocol is that it is possible for a slave device to
enable a MSG write or read to/from another slave. When the initiating slave is polled, the MSG
is sent to the master. The master recognizes that the message is not intended for it, but for
another slave, so the master immediately forwards the message to the intended slave. The
master does this automatically; you do not need to program the master to move data between
slave nodes. This slave-to-slave transfer can also be used by programming software to allow
slave-to-slave upload and download of programs to processors (including the master) on the
DF1 Half-duplex link.
A MicroLogix 1100 controller can act as the master or as a slave on a Half-duplex network.
When the MicroLogix 1100 controller is a slave device, a master device is required to run the
network. Several other Allen-Bradley products support the DF1 Half-duplex master protocol.
They include the SLC 5/03 and higher processors, enhanced PLC-5 processors,
MicroLogix 1200 or MicroLogix 1500 controllers, and RSLinx software (version 2.x or later).
DF1 Half-duplex supports up to 255 devices (address 0…254) with address 255 reserved for
master broadcasts. As a DF1 Half-duplex slave device, the MicroLogix 1100 controller supports
broadcast reception. As a DF1 Half-duplex master, the MicroLogix 1100 controller supports both
the reception and initiation of broadcast write commands (via the MSG instruction). The
MicroLogix 1100 controller also supports Half-duplex modems using RTS/CTS hardware
handshaking.

Considerations When Communicating as a DF1 Slave on a Multi-drop
Link
When communication is between either your programming software and a MicroLogix
Programmable Controller or between two MicroLogix 1100 Programmable Controllers via slave-
to-slave communication on a larger multi-drop link, the devices depend on a DF1 Half-duplex
master to give each of them access in a timely manner. As the number of slave devices
increase, the time between when slave devices are polled also increases. This increase in time
may also be large if you are using low communication rates. As these time periods grow,
consider increasing the poll timeout and reply timeout values for slave devices.
Use Modems with MicroLogix Programmable Controllers
The types of modems you can use with MicroLogix controllers include the following:
Dial-up phone modems
A MicroLogix 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. The MicroLogix
1100 controller supports ASCII out communications. Therefore, it can cause a modem to
initiate or disconnect a phone call.
Leased-line modems
Leased-line modems are used with dedicated phone lines that are typically leased from
the local phone company. The dedicated lines can be in a point-to-point topology to
support full-duplex communications between two modems or in a multi-drop topology
to support half-duplex communications between three or more modems.
Radio modems
Radio modems can be implemented in a point-to-point topology to support either half-
duplex or full-duplex communications, or in a multi-drop topology to support half-

IMPORTANT If a program download is started when using DF1 Half-duplex, but then
is interrupted due to electromagnetic interference or other events,
discontinue communications to the controller for the ownership
timeout period and then restart the program download. The ownership
timeout period is 60 seconds. After the timeout, you can re-establish
communications with the processor and try the program download
again. The only other way to remove program ownership is to cycle
power on the processor.

duplex communications between three or more modems. MicroLogix 1100 controllers
also support the DF1 Radio Modem protocol.
Line drivers
Line drivers, also called short-haul modems, do not actually modulate the serial data,
but rather condition the electrical signals to operate reliably over long transmission
distances (up to several miles). Line drivers are available in full-duplex 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 15…1219 m (50…4000 ft.), 2438 m (8000 ft.) when
bridged.
For point-to-point full-duplex modem connections that do not require any modem
handshaking signals to operate, use DF1 Full-duplex protocol with no handshaking. For point-
to-point Full-duplex modem connections that require RTS/CTS handshaking, use DF1 Full-
duplex protocol with handshaking.
For radio modem connections, use DF1 Radio Modem protocol, especially if store and forward
capability is required.
For general multi-drop modem connections, or for point-to-point modem connections that
require RTS/CTS handshaking, use DF1 Half-duplex slave protocol. In this case, one (and only
one) of the other devices must be configured for DF1 Half-duplex master protocol.
DH-485 Communication
Protocol
The DH-485 protocol defines the communication between multiple devices that coexist on a
single pair of wires. DH-485 protocol uses RS-485 Half-duplex as its physical interface. RS-485
is a definition of electrical connection characteristics; it is not a protocol. RS-485 uses devices
that can coexist on a common data circuit, thus allowing data to be easily shared between
devices.
The DH-485 network offers:
Interconnection of 32 devices
Multi-master (peer-to-peer) capability
Token passing access control
The ability to add or remove nodes without disrupting the network
Maximum network segment of 1219 m (4000 ft.)
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.
Control of message transfers on the DH-485 network is performed by rotating the token along
the nodes on the network. A node holding the token can send a message onto the network.
Each node is allowed a fixed number of transmissions (based on the Token Hold Factor) each
time it receives the token. After a node sends a message, it passes the token to the next
device.
The allowable range of node addresses is 1…31. There must be at least one initiator on the
network (such as a MicroLogix controller, or an SLC 5/02 or later processor).
IMPORTANT Never attempt to use DH-485 protocol through modems under any
circumstance.
All MicroLogix controllers support RTS/CTS modem handshaking when configured
for DF1 Full-duplex protocol with the control line parameter set to Full-duplex
Modem Handshaking or DF1 Half-duplex slave protocol with the control line
parameter set to “Half-Duplex Modem”. No other modem handshaking lines (for
instance, Data Set Ready and Data Terminal Ready) are supported by MicroLogix
1100 controller. MicroLogix 1100 controller also does not support DCD (Data Carrier
Detect).

DH-485 Configuration Parameters
When MicroLogix communications are configured for DH-485, the following parameters can be
changed:
See Software Considerations on page 150
for tips on setting the parameters listed above.
Devices that use the DH-485 Network
In addition to the MicroLogix controllers, the devices that are shown in Table 41 also support
the DH-485 network.
Important DH-485 Network Planning Considerations
Carefully plan your network configuration before installing any hardware. Some of the factors
that can affect system performance are:
Amount of electrical noise, temperature, and humidity in the network environment
Number of devices on the network
Connection and grounding quality in installation
Amount of communication traffic on the network
Type of process being controlled
Network configuration
The major hardware and software issues you must resolve before installing a network are
discussed in the following sections.
Hardware Considerations
You must decide the length of the communication cable, where you route it, and how to
protect it from the environment where it will be installed.

When the communication cable is installed, you must know how many devices are to be
connected during installation and how many devices can be added in the future. The following
sections help you understand and plan the network.
Number of Devices and Length of Communication Cable
The maximum length of the communication cable is 1219 m (4000 ft.). This is the total cable
distance from the first node to the last node in a segment. However, two segments can be
used to extend the DH-485 network to 2438 m (8000 ft.). For additional information on
connections using the AIC+, see the AIC+ Advanced Interface Converter User Manual,
publication 1761-UM004
.
Planning Cable Routes
Follow these guidelines to help protect the communication cable from electrical interference:
Keep the communication cable at least 1.52 m (5 ft.) from any electric motors,
transformers, rectifiers, generators, arc welders, induction furnaces, or sources of
microwave radiation.
If you must run the cable across power feed lines, run the cable at right angles to the
lines.
If you do not run the cable through a contiguous metallic wireway or conduit, keep the
communication cable at least 0.15 m (6 in.) from AC power lines of less than 20 A, 0.30 m
(1 ft.) from lines greater than 20 A, but only up to 100 kVA, and 0.60 m (2 ft.) from lines of
100 kVA or more.
If you run the cable through a contiguous metallic wireway or conduit, keep the
communication cable at least 0.08 m (3 in.) from AC power lines of less than 20 A, 0.15 m
(6 in.) from lines greater than 20 A, but only up to 100 kVA, and 0.30 m (1 ft.) from lines of
100 kVA or more.
Run the communication cable through a conduit to provide extra protection from
physical damage and electrical interference. If you route the cable through a conduit,
follow these additional recommendations:
- Use ferromagnetic conduits near critical sources of electrical interference. You can
use aluminum conduits in non-critical areas.
- Use plastic connectors to couple between aluminum and ferromagnetic conduit.
Make an electrical connection around the plastic connector (use pipe clamps and the
heavy gauge wire or wire braid) to hold both sections at the same potential.
- Ground the entire length of conduit by attaching it to the building earth ground.
- Do not let the conduit touch the plug on the cable.
- Arrange the cables loosely within the conduit. The conduit should contain only serial
communication cables.
- Install the conduit so that it meets all applicable codes and environmental
specifications.
For more information on planning cable routes, see Industrial Automation Wiring and
Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1
.
Software Considerations
Software considerations include the configuration of the network and the parameters that can
be set to the specific requirements of the network. The following are major configuration
factors that have a significant effect on network performance:
Number of nodes on the network
Addresses of those nodes
Communication rate
The following sections explain network considerations and describe ways to select
parameters for optimum network performance (speed). See your programming software’s user
manual for more information.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1763-UM001G-EN-P - May 2024 151
Appendix E Connect to Networks via RS-232/RS-485 Interface
Number of Nodes
The number of nodes on the network directly affects the data transfer time between nodes.
Unnecessary nodes (such as a second programming terminal that is not being used) slow the
data transfer rate. The maximum number of nodes on the network is 32.
Setting Node Addresses
The best network performance occurs when node addresses are assigned in sequential order.
Assign initiators, such as computers, the lowest numbered addresses to minimize the time
that is required to initialize the network. The valid range for the MicroLogix controllers is 1…31
(controllers cannot be node 0). The default setting is 1. The node address is stored in the
controller Communications Status file (CS0:5/0 to CS0:5/7).
Setting Controller Communication Rate
The best network performance occurs at the highest communication rate, which is 19,200.
19,200 is the default communication rate for a MicroLogix device on the DH-485 network. All
devices must be at the same communication rate. This rate is stored in the controller
Communications Status file (CS0:5/8 to CS0:5/15).
Setting Maximum Node Address
Once you have an established network set up and are confident that you are not adding more
devices, you can enhance performance by adjusting the maximum node address of your
controllers. Set it to the highest node address being used.
MicroLogix Remote Packet Support
MicroLogix controllers can respond and initiate with communications (or commands) that do
not originate on the local DH-485 network. This is useful in installations where communication
is needed between DH-485 and DH+™ networks.
The example below shows how to send messages from a device on the DH+ network to a
MicroLogix controller on the DH-485 network. This method uses an SLC 5/04 processor as the
bridge connection.
When using this method (as shown in the illustration below):
PLC-5 devices can send read and write commands to MicroLogix controllers.
MicroLogix controllers can respond to MSG instructions received.
MicroLogix controllers can initiate MSG instructions to devices on the DH+ network.
The computer can send read and write commands to MicroLogix controllers.
The computer can do remote programming of MicroLogix controllers.
IMPORTANT Set all devices to the same maximum node address.
Use a 1763-NC01 series A or later cable to connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to a
DH-485 network.
You can connect a MicroLogix 1100 controller to your DH-485 network directly
without using a RS-232 to RS-485 converter and optical isolator, such as the AIC+
Advanced Interface Converter, 1761-NET-AIC, as shown in Figure 94
, because
Channel 0 has isolation and RS-485 built-in.

directly without using a RS-232 to RS-485 converter and optical isolator, such as the AIC+
Advanced Interface Converter, 1761-NET-AIC, as shown in Figure 94
, because Channel 0 has
isolation and RS-485 built-in.

Modbus Communication
Protocol
Modbus is a Half-Duplex, master-slave communications protocol. The Modbus network master
reads and writes coils and registers. Modbus protocol allows a single master to communicate
with a maximum of 247 slave devices. MicroLogix 1100 controllers support Modbus RTU saster
and Modbus RTU slave protocol.
For more information on how to configure your MicroLogix 1100 controller for Modbus protocol,
see the MicroLogix 1100 Programmable Controllers Instruction Set Reference Manual,
publication 1763-RM001
. For more information about the Modbus protocol, see the Modbus
Protocol Specifications (available from www.modbus.org).
ASCII ASCII provides connection to other ASCII devices, such as barcode readers, weigh scales, serial
printers, and other intelligent devices.
You can use ASCII by configuring the RS-232/RS-485 port, channel 0 for the ASCII driver. For
detailed configuration information, see the MicroLogix 1100 Programmable Controllers

MicroLogix 1100 and
Computer Connections to
the Ethernet Network
The MicroLogix 1100 Ethernet connector conforms to ISO/IEC 8802-3 STD 802.3 and utilizes
10/100Base-T media. Connections are made directly from the MicroLogix 1100 controller to an
Ethernet hub or switch. The network setup is simple and cost effective. Typical network
topology is shown in Figure 96
.
Figure 96 - Ethernet Network Topology
Connect an Ethernet switch on the Ethernet Network
The MicroLogix 1100 Ethernet port supports the following Ethernet settings:
10 Mbps half-duplex or full-duplex
100 Mbps half-duplex or full-duplex
Mode selection can be automatic, based on the IEEE 802.3 auto negotiation protocol. In most
cases, using the auto negotiation function results in proper operation between a switch port
and MicroLogix 1100 Ethernet port.
With RSLogix500 programming software version 7.00.00 or later, you can manually set the
communication rate and duplex mode of an Ethernet port you have connected to the switch
port. The settings of the Ethernet port and the switch port must match.

IMPORTANT The MicroLogix 1100 controller contains a 10/100Base-T RJ45 Ethernet
connector, which connects to standard Ethernet hubs or switches via
8-wire twisted-pair straight-through cable. To access other Ethernet
mediums, use 10/100Base-T media converters or Ethernet hubs or
switches that can be connected together via fiber, thin-wire, or thick-
wire coaxial cables, or any other physical media commercially available
with Ethernet hubs or switches.

Appendix F Connect to Networks via Ethernet Interface
Cables
Shielded and non-shielded twisted-pair 10/100Base-T cables with RJ45 connectors are
supported. The maximum cable length between a MicroLogix 1100 Ethernet port and a
10/100Base-T port on an Ethernet hub or switch (without repeaters or fiber) is 100 m (323 ft.).
However, in an industrial application, keep the cable length to a minimum.
The standard Ethernet cable is terminated in accordance with EIA/TIA 568B on both ends. The
crossover cable is terminated to EIA/TIA 568B at one end and EIA/TIA 568A at the other, exactly
as shown in Figure 97
.
Figure 97
and Figure 98 show how the TIA/EIA 568A and 568B are to be terminated. There are
four pairs of wires contained in a CAT5 UTP cable. These pairs of cables are color-coded white
blue/blue, white orange/orange, white green/green, and white brown/brown. They are also
numbered one to four in the order shown.
Figure 97 - EIA/TIA 568A and 568B Ethernet Cable
IMPORTANT When connecting the MicroLogix 1100 Ethernet port to a 10/100Base-T
Ethernet switch, note the following recommendations:
Use the auto negotiation function for both the switch port and the
MicroLogix 1100 Ethernet port.
If you want to force to a specific speed/duplex mode, you should force
the MicroLogix 1100 Ethernet port and leave the switch in auto
negotiation mode to match speed/duplex settings of the MicroLogix 1100
Ethernet port.
If you want to disable the auto negotiation function for both ports, then
you should only force both the switch and the MicroLogix 1100 port to
either 100 Mbps half-duplex or 10 Mbps half-duplex.
If you attempt to force both the switch and the MicroLogix1100 port to
either 100 Mbps full-duplex or 10 Mbps full-duplex, the Ethernet link does
not establish and Ethernet communications does not work.
The Ethernet cabling with straight-through method is recommended as shown in
Table 47. Do not make the incorrect connection.

Ethernet Connections TCP/IP is the mechanism used to transport Ethernet messages. On top of TCP, EtherNet/IP
protocol is required to establish sessions and to send the MSG commands. You can initiate
connections by either a client program (RSLinx software) or a processor.
The client program or processor must first establish a connection to the MicroLogix 1100
controller to enable the controller to receive solicited messages from a client program or
another processor.
To send an outgoing message, the MicroLogix 1100 controller must first establish a connection
with the destination node at a specified IP address on the Ethernet network. A connection is
established when a MSG instruction executes and no previous connection exists.
When a MSG instruction executes, the MicroLogix 1100 controller checks to see whether a
connection has been established with the destination node. If a connection has not been
established, the MicroLogix 1100 controller attempts to establish a connection of the peer type.
To receive messages from another device on Ethernet, an incoming connection must be
established. This incoming connection is made by the sending processor and uses one
incoming connection in the receiving processor.
The MicroLogix 1100 controller supports a maximum of 32 connections, allowing a maximum of
16 outgoing and a maximum of 16 incoming simultaneous connections with up to 32 other
devices or applications. The connections are dedicated as follows:
The most common wiring for RJ45 cables is the straight-through cable that means
that pin 1 of the plug on one end is connected to pin 1 of the plug on the other end.
The straight-through RJ45 cable is commonly used to connect network cards with
hubs on 10Base-T and 100Base-Tx networks. On network cards, pair 1…2 is the
transmitter, and pair 3…6 is the receiver. The other two pairs are not used. On
hubs pair 1…2 is the receiver and 3…6 the transmitter. Wire your cables with the
same color sequence. In this cable layout, all pins are wired one-to-one to the
other side. The pins on the RJ45 connector are assigned in pairs, and every pair
carries one differential signal. Each line pair has to be twisted.
In small network where only two Ethernet devices must be connected together, a
crossover RJ45 cable is necessary, where the transmit and receive lines on both
RJ45 connectors are cross connected. The color coding for the crossover RJ45
cable have been defined in the EIA/TIA 568A standard. In a crossover cable layout,
remember that one end is normal, and the other end has the crossover
configuration.

Appendix F Connect to Networks via Ethernet Interface
Duplicate IP address
Detection
The MicroLogix 1100 controller series B firmware supports duplicate IP address detection.
When you change the IP address or connect one of the MicroLogix controllers to an
EtherNet/IP network, the MicroLogix 1100 controller checks to make sure that the IP address
that is assigned to this device does not match the address of any other network device. The
MicroLogix 1100 controller checks every 2 minutes for a duplicate IP address on the network. If
the MicroLogix 1100 controller determines that there is a conflict (another device on the
network with a matching IP address), the following message is posted on the LCD display.
To correct this conflict, use the instructions in this chapter to change the IP address of the
EtherNet/IP device. Then cycle power to the device or reset the device (such as disconnecting
the Ethernet cable and reconnecting the cable).
There is also the possibility that two EtherNet/IP devices can detect a conflict simultaneously.
If this occurs, remove the device with the incorrect IP address or correct its conflict. To get
the second device out of conflict mode, cycle power to the module or disconnect its Ethernet
cable and reconnect the cable. The MicroLogix 1100 controller checks every 2 minutes for a
duplicate IP address on the network.
Configure the Ethernet
Channel on the MicroLogix
1100 Controller
There are two ways to configure the MicroLogix 1100 Ethernet channel 1.

IMPORTANT For outgoing connections, no more that one connection per destination
node is established. If multiple MSG instructions use the same
destination node, they share the same connection.

Configure Using RSLogix
500 Programming Software
See the online documentation provided with your programming software.
Configure Using BOOTP Bootstrap protocol (BOOTP) is a low-level protocol that TCP/IP nodes use to obtain startup
information. By default, the MicroLogix 1100 controller broadcasts BOOTP requests at power-
up. The BOOTP Valid parameter remains clear until a BOOTP reply has been received. BOOTP
lets you dynamically assign IP addresses to processors on the Ethernet Link.
To use BOOTP, a BOOTP server must exist on the local Ethernet subnet. The server is a
computer that has BOOTP server software installed and reads a text file containing network
information for individual nodes on the network.
The host system’s BOOTP configuration file must be updated to service requests from
MicroLogix 1100 controllers. The parameters in Table 49
must be configured.
When BOOTP is enabled, the following events occur at power-up:
The processor broadcasts a BOOTP-request message containing its hardware address
over the local network or subnet.
The BOOTP server compares the hardware address with the addresses in its look-up
table.
The BOOTP server sends a message back to the processor with the IP address and other
network information that corresponds to the hardware address it received.
BOOTP Enable
The BOOTP enable switch. When BOOTP is enabled, the MicroLogix 1100 controller attempts to learn its
network related parameters at power-up via a BOOTP request. There must be a BOOTP server on the network
capable of responding to this BOOTP request. When both BOOTP and DHCP are disabled, the MicroLogix 1100
controller uses the locally configured network-related parameters (IP address, subnet mask, broadcast
address, and so on).
1 (enabled) Read/write
DHCP Enable
The DHCP auto configuration enable switch. When DHCP is enabled, a DHCP server automatically assigns
network-related parameters to the MicroLogix 1100 controller when it signs in a TCP/IP network. There must
be a DHCP server on the network capable of allocating network addresses and configuring parameters to
newly attached device. When both BOOTP and DHCP are disabled, the MicroLogix 1100 controller uses the
locally configured network-related parameters (IP address, subnet mask, broadcast address, and so on).
0 (disabled) Read/write
SNMP Server Enable
The SNMP enable switch. Select to enable SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Not applicable to the
MicroLogix 1100 controller.

SMTP Client Enable
(Series B only)
The SMTP Client service enable switch. When SMTP is enabled, the MicroLogix 1100 controller is capable of
transmitting email messages that are generated by a 485CIF write message with a string element. There
must be an SMTP process email service. This provides a versatile mechanism to report alarms, status, and
other data-related functions.

Appendix F Connect to Networks via Ethernet Interface
With all hardware and IP addresses in one location, you can easily change IP addresses in the
BOOTP configuration file if your network must be changed.
The BOOTP request can be disabled by clearing the BOOTP Enable parameter in the channel
configuration file. When both BOOTP Enable and DHCP are cleared (disabled), the MicroLogix
1100 controller uses the existing channel configuration data.
Using the Rockwell Automation BOOTP/DHCP Utility
The Rockwell Automation BOOTP/DHCP server utility is a standalone program that incorporates
the functionality of standard BOOTP software with a user-friendly graphical interface. It is
located in the Utils directory on the RSLogix 500 installation CD.
The newest version of the utility can be downloaded from the Product Compatibility and
Download Center (PCDC) at rok.auto/pcdc
. The device must have BOOTP enabled (factory
default) or DHCP enabled to use the utility.
To configure your device using the BOOTP utility, perform the following steps.
1. Run the BOOTP/DHCP server utility software. It asks you to configure your network
settings before using the BOOTP/DHCP server tool. Enter your Ethernet settings for
Subnet Mask and Gateway. If you are not sure about it, get help from your system
administrator. Just leave Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain Name. If the
corresponding information is allocated to the computer where the BOOTP/DHCP server
utility is installed, enter the same information.)
2. In the Request History panel, you see the hardware addresses of devices that issue
BOOTP or DHCP requests.
IMPORTANT If BOOTP is disabled, or no BOOTP server exists on the network, you
must use RSLogix 500 programming software to enter/change the IP
address for each processor or you must use DHCP instead of it.
162 Rockwell Automation Publication 1763-UM001G-EN-P - May 2024
Appendix F Connect to Networks via Ethernet Interface
3. Double-click the hardware address of the device that you want to configure. You see
the New Entry pop-up window with the device's Ethernet Address (MAC).
4. Enter the IP Address and Description that you want to assign to the device, and select
OK. Leave Hostname blank.
The device is added to the Relation List, and displays the Ethernet Address (MAC) and
corresponding IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway (if applicable).
Use a DHCP Server To
Configure Your Processor
A DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations signing onto a TCP/IP
network. DHCP is based on BOOTP and maintains some backward compatibility. The main
difference is that BOOTP was designed for manual configuration, while DHCP allows for
dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations to newly attached devices.
Subnet Masks and
Gateways
Configure subnet masks and gateways using the Ethernet Channel 1 configuration screen.
If your network is divided into subnetworks that use gateways or routers, you must indicate
the following information when configuring Channel 1:
Subnet mask
Gateway address
A subnet mask is a filter that a node applies to IP addresses to determine if an address is on
the local subnet or on another subnet. If an address is located on another subnetwork,
messages are routed through a local gateway to be transferred to the destination subnetwork.
If your network is not divided into subnets, then leave the subnet mask field at the default.
ATTENTION: The processor must be assigned a fixed network address. The IP
address of the processor must not be dynamically provided. Failure to
observe this precaution may result in unintended machine motion or loss of
process control.
IMPORTANT If BOOTP is enabled, you can’t change any of the advanced Ethernet
communications characteristics.

Glossary
modes Selected methods of operation. Example: run, test, or program.
negative logic The use of binary logic in such a way that “0” represents the voltage level normally associated
with logic 1 (for example, 0 = +5V, 1 = 0V). Positive is more conventional (for example, 1 = +5V, 0
= 0V).
network A series of stations (nodes) connected by some type of communication medium. A network
may be made up of a single link or multiple links.
nominal input current The current at nominal input voltage.
normally closed Contacts on a relay or switch that are closed when the relay is de-energized or the switch is
deactivated; they are open when the relay is energized or the switch is activated. In ladder
programming, a symbol that allows logic continuity (flow) if the referenced input is logic “0”
when evaluated.
normally open Contacts on a relay or switch that are open when the relay is de-energized or the switch is
deactivated. (They are closed when the relay is energized or the switch is activated.) In ladder
programming, a symbol that allows logic continuity (flow) if the referenced input is logic “1”
when evaluated.
off-delay time The OFF delay time is a measure of the time required for the controller logic to recognize that
a signal has been removed from the input terminal of the controller. The time is determined by
circuit component delays and by any filter adjustment applied.
offline Describes devices not under direct communication.
offset The steady-state deviation of a controlled variable from a fixed point.
off-state leakage current When an ideal mechanical switch is opened (off-state) no current flows through the switch.
Practical semiconductor switches, and the transient suppression components which are
sometimes used to protect switches, allow a small current to flow when the switch is in the off
state. This current is referred to as the off-state leakage current. To ensure reliable operation,
the off-state leakage current rating of a switch should be less than the minimum operating
current rating of the load that is connected to the switch.
on-delay time The ON delay time is a measure of the time required for the controller logic to recognize that a
signal has been presented at the input terminal of the controller.
one-shot A programming technique that sets a bit for only one program scan.
online Describes devices under direct communication. For example, when RSLogix 500 is monitoring
the program file in a controller.
operating voltage For inputs, the voltage range needed for the input to be in the On state. For outputs, the
allowable range of user-supplied voltage.
output device A device, such as a pilot light or a motor starter coil, that is controlled by the controller.
processor A Central Processing Unit. See CPU (Central Processing Unit) on page 169.
processor file The set of program and data files used by the controller to control output devices. Only one
processor file may be stored in the controller at a time.
program file The area within a processor file that contains the ladder logic program.
program mode When the controller is not executing the processor file and all outputs are de-energized.
program scan A part of the controller’s operating cycle. During the scan the ladder program is executed and
the output data file is updated based on the program and the input data file.
programming device Executable programming package used to develop ladder diagrams.
172 Rockwell Automation Publication 1763-UM001G-EN-P - May 2024
Glossary
protocol The packaging of information that is transmitted across a network.
read To acquire data from a storage place. For example, the processor reads information from the
input data file to solve the ladder program.
relay An electrically operated device that mechanically switches electrical circuits.
relay logic A representation of the program or other logic in a form normally used for relays.
restore To download (transfer) a program from a personal computer to a controller.
reserved bit A status file location that the user should not read or write to.
retentive data Information associated with data files (timers, counters, inputs, and outputs) in a program that
is preserved through power cycles.
RS-232 An EIA standard that specifies electrical, mechanical, and functional characteristics for serial
binary communication circuits. A single-ended serial communication interface.
run mode This is an executing mode during which the controller scans or executes the ladder program,
monitors input devices, energizes output devices, and acts on enabled I/O forces.
rung Ladder logic is comprised of a set of rungs. A rung contains input and output instructions.
During Run mode, the inputs on a rung are evaluated to be true or false. If a path of true logic
exists, the outputs are made true. If all paths are false, the outputs are made false.
save To upload (transfer) a program stored in memory from a controller to a personal computer; OR
to save a program to a computer hard disk.
scan time The time required for the controller to execute the instructions in the program. The scan time
may vary depending on the instructions and each instruction’s status during the scan.
sinking A term used to describe current flow between an I/O device and controller I/O circuit —
typically, a sinking device or circuit provides a path to ground, low, or negative side of power
supply.
sourcing A term used to describe current flow between an I/O device and controller I/O circuit —
typically, a sourcing device or circuit provides a path to the source, high, or positive side of
power supply.
status The condition of a circuit or system, represented as logic 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON).
terminal A point on an I/O module that external I/O devices, such as a push button or pilot light, are
wired to.
throughput The time between when an input turns on and the corresponding output turns on.
true The status of an instruction that provides a continuous logical path on a ladder rung.
upload Data is transferred to a programming or storage device from another device.
watchdog timer A timer that monitors a cyclical process and is cleared at the conclusion of each cycle. If the
watchdog runs past its programmed time period, it causes a fault.
workspace The main storage available for programs and data and allocated for working storage.
write To copy data to a storage device. For example, the processor writes the information from the
output data file to the output modules.
