Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and
Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication SGI-1.1 available from your local
Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes some important differences
between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of
this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for solid state equipment,
all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each
intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or
consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.

12 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 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 is non-volatile 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
using a 1761- CBL-AM00 (8-pin mini-DIN to 8-pin
mini-DIN) cable or equivalent.
This type of connection will cause damage to the
RS-232/485 communication port (Channel 0) of the
MicroLogix 1100 and/or the controller itself. The
communication pins used for RS-485
communications on the MicroLogix 1100 are
alternately used for 24V power on the other
MicroLogix controllers and the network port of the
1747-DPS1 Port Splitter.

Publication 1763-UM001E-EN-P - June 2015
16 Hardware Overview
Programming
Programming the MicroLogix 1100 controller is done using RSLogix 500,
Revision 7.0 or later. To use all of the latest features, RSLogix 500
programming software must be version 7.20.00 or later. Communication
cables for programming are available separately from the controller and
software.
Communication Options
The MicroLogix 1100 controllers provide two communications ports, an
isolated combination RS-232/485 communication port (Channel 0) and an
Ethernet port (Channel 1).
The isolated Channel 0 port on the MicroLogix 1100 can be connected to the
following:
•operator interfaces, personal computers, etc. 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 (catalog
number 1761-NET-ENI, or 1761-NET-ENIW)
When connecting to a DH-485 network, DF1 half-duplex network(1) or a
Modbus network, the MicroLogix 1100 can be connected directly via Channel
0 (without an Advanced Interface Converter, catalog number 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(1) and
DF1 half-duplex Slave(1)).
The controller may also be connected to serial devices, such as bar code
readers, weigh scales, serial printers, and other intelligent devices, using ASCII.
See Default Communication Configuration on page 72 for the configuration
settings for Channel 0. MicroLogix 1100 can be connected directly to RS-485
network via channel 0, using ASCII(1).)
The MicroLogix 1100 supports Ethernet communication via the Ethernet
communication Channel 1. You can connect your controller to a local area
network that provides communication between various devices at 10 Mbps or
100 Mbps. This port supports CIP explicit messaging (message exchange) only.
(1) OS Series B FRN4 or later.

Publication 1763-UM001E-EN-P - June 2015
Hardware Overview 17
The controller cannot be used for CIP implicit messaging (real-time I/O
messaging). The controller also includes an embedded web server which
allows viewing of not only module information, TCP/IP configuration, and
diagnostic information, but also includes the data table memory map and data
table monitor screen using a standard web browser.
See Chapter 4 for more information on connecting to the available
communication options.
