1-4 Hardware Overview
Programming
Programming the MicroLogix 1500 programmable controller is done using
RSLogix™ 500, Rev. 4.0 or later. Communication cables are not included with the
software.
Communication Options
The MicroLogix 1500 can be connected to a personal computer. It can also be
connected to the DH-485 network using an Advanced Interface Converter (catalog
number 1761-NET-AIC) and to the DeviceNet™ network using a DeviceNet
Interface (catalog number 1761-NET-DNI). The controller can also be connected
to Modbus™ SCADA networks as an RTU slave. See Communication
Connections on page 4-1 for more information on connecting to the available
communication options.
The 1764-LRP processor provides an additional communication port. Each of the
communications ports can be independently configured for any supported
communication protocol. (Channel 0 is on the base unit and Channel 1 is on the
1764-LRP processor.)
Compact™
Expansion I/O
Compact expansion I/O (Bulletin 1769) can be connected to the MicroLogix 1500
Controller. A maximum of eight I/O modules may be connected. See System
Loading and Heat Dissipation on page F-1 for more information on system
configurations.
End Cap
An end cap terminator (catalog number 1769-ECR or 1769-ECL) must be used at
the end of the group of I/O modules attached to the MicroLogix 1500 Controller.
The end cap terminator is not provided with the base or processor units. It is
required when using expansion I/O.
This illustration shows the right end cap (1769-ECR ). The left end cap
(1769-ECL) is shown on page 1-7.

Publication 1764-UM001A-US-P
Hardware Overview 1-5
Expansion Power Supply and Cables
With Operating System Revision Number (FRN) 3 or higher, you can connect an
additional bank of I/O to your controller. Using an expansion power supply
increases the system’s capacity for adding expansion I/O modules (such as the
1769-IF4 and 1769-OF2 analog modules). The additional I/O bank is connected
to the controller via a specially designed cable. The additional I/O bank must
include a power supply and an end cap.
To use an additional bank of I/O, you must have.
You can check the FRN by looking at word S:59 (Operating System FRN) in the
Status File.
NOTE The maximum number of expansion I/O modules per controller
is 8. See System Guidelines on page 1-6 for system limitations
and illustrations of expansion I/O banks.

1-6 Hardware Overview
Adding an I/O Bank
System Guidelines
A maximum of one 1769 Expansion Cable can be used in a MicroLogix 1500
system, allowing for two banks of I/O modules (one connected directly to the
controller, and the other connected via the cable). Each I/O bank requires its own
power supply (Bank 1 uses the controller’s embedded power supply).
ATTENTION
!
ATTENTION: LIMIT OF ONE EXPANSION POWER
SUPPLY
The expansion power supply cannot be connected directly to the
controller. It must be connected using one of the expansion
cables. Only one power supply (embedded or expansion) may be
used on an I/O bank. Exceeding these limitations may damage
the power supply and result in unexpected operation.
ATTENTION
!
ATTENTION: REMOVE POWER
Remove system power before making or breaking cable
connections. When you remove or insert a cable connector with
power applied, an electrical arc may occur. An electrical arc can
cause personal injury or property damage by:
•sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field devices,
causing unintended machine operation
•causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector.
Refer to your power supply and I/O module’s documentation for
instructions on how to set up your system.

Low Voltage Directive
This product is tested to meet Council Directive 73/23/EEC Low Voltage, by
applying the safety requirements of EN 61131-2 Programmable Controllers, Part 2
- Equipment Requirements and Tests.
For specific information required by EN 61131-2, see the appropriate sections in
this publication, as well as the following Allen-Bradley publications:
•Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for Noise Immunity,
publication 1770-4.1
•Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries, publication AG-5.4
•Automation Systems Catalog, publication B111
Installation
Considerations
Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure (Pollution Degree
2(1)) to reduce the effects of electrical interference (Over Voltage Category II(2))
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.
(1) Pollution Degree 2 is an environment where normally only non-conductive pollution occurs except that occasionally
temporary conductivity caused by condensation shall be expected.
(2) 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 products insulation.
ATTENTION
!Vertical mounting of the controller is not recommended 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 base or processor unit could
cause damage. Do not drill holes above a mounted controller if
the protective debris strips are removed or the processor is
installed.

Safety Considerations
Safety considerations are an important element of proper system installation.
Actively thinking about the safety of yourself and others, as well as the condition of
your equipment, is of primary importance. We recommend reviewing the
following safety considerations.
Hazardous Location Considerations
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D or
non-hazardous locations only. The following WARNING statement applies to use
in hazardous locations.
Use only the following communication cables in Class I, Division 2 hazardous
locations.
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 501-4(b).
WARNING
!
When installing any peripheral device (for example, push
buttons, lamps) into a hazardous environment, ensure that they
are Class I, Division 2 certified, or determined to be safe for the
environment.

2-4 Installing Your Controller
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
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, thereby removing power to
the machine. Never alter these circuits to defeat their function. Serious injury or
machine damage could result.
Power Distribution
There are some points about power distribution that you should know:
•The master control relay must be able to inhibit all machine motion by
removing power to the machine I/O devices when the relay is de-energized. It
is recommended that the controller remain powered even when the master
control relay is de-energized.
•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.
WARNING
!Explosion Hazard - Do not replace components or disconnect
equipment unless power has been switched off.
WARNING
!Explosion Hazard - Do not connect or disconnect connectors
while circuit is live.
