1756 ControlLogix Controllers

1756 ControlLogix Controllers
The ControlLogix® controller provides a scalable controller solution that is capable of addressing a large amount of I/O
points. The ControlLogix controller can be placed into any slot of a ControlLogix I/O chassis and multiple controllers can
be installed in the same chassis.
ControlLogix controllers can monitor and control I/O across the ControlLogix backplane, as well as over network links.
To provide communication for a ControlLogix controller, install the appropriate communication interface module into the
chassis.

1756 ControlLogix-XT Controllers
The ControlLogix-XT
 controllers function in the same way as the traditional ControlLogix controllers. The 
ControlLogix-XT products include control and communication system components that are conformally coated for
extended protection in harsh, corrosive environments:
• When used with FLEX I/O-XT
 products, the ControlLogix-XT system can withstand temperature ranges from 
-20
70 C (-4
158 F). 
• When used independently, the ControlLogix-XT system can withstand temperature ranges from -25
70 
(-13
158 F).
• Equipment designated as ‘LXT’ is certified for use only within a surrounding air temperature of -25…60 
(-13
140 F) even when used with other ‘XT’ equipment.

1756 ControlLogix Controllers
1756 GuardLogix Controllers
A GuardLogix® controller is a ControlLogix controller that also provides safety control. The GuardLogix system is a dual
controller solution—you must use a 1756-L6
xS/1756-L7xS primary controller and a 1756-LSP/1756-L7SP safety partner 
to achieve up to SIL CL 3/PLe/Cat. 4. A major benefit of this system is that it’s still a single project, safety and standard
together. The safety partner controller is a part of the system, is automatically configured, and requires no user setup.
During development, safety and standard have the same rules; multiple programmers, online editing, and forcing are all
allowed. Once the project is tested and ready for final validation, you set the safety task to a SIL 3 integrity level, which is
then enforced by the GuardLogix controller. When safety memory is locked and protected, the safety logic can't be
modified and all safety functions operate with SIL 3 CL integrity. On the standard side of the GuardLogix controller, all
functions operate like a regular Logix controller. Thus, online editing, forcing, and other activities are all allowed.
With this level of integration, safety memory can be read by standard logic and external devices, like HMIs or other
controllers, eliminating the need to condition safety memory for use elsewhere. The result is easy system-wide integration
and the ability to display safety status on displays or marquees. Use Guard I/O
 modules for field device connectivity on 
Ethernet or DeviceNet networks, and for safety interlocking between GuardLogix controllers use Ethernet or ControlNet
networks. Multiple GuardLogix controllers can share safety data for zone to zone interlocking, or a single GuardLogix
controller can use remote distributed safety I/O between different cells/areas.
In addition to the standard features of a ControlLogix controller, the GuardLogix controller has these safety-related
features.

Controller Memory Use
The following equations provide a rough memory estimate.
For redundant controller systems, double the memory estimate you calculate. For example, if you estimate you need 2 MB
of memory, select a controller with 4 MB of memory.
Reserve 20
30% of the controller memory to accommodate growth.
Controller Compatibility
The following tables provide compatibility with I/O modules, display devices, and other controllers and communication
devices.

1756 ControlLogix Controllers
ControlLogix Connections
A ControlLogix system uses connections to establish communication links between devices. The types of connections
include the following:
• Controller-to-local I/O modules or local communication modules
• Controller-to-remote I/O or remote communication modules
• Controller-to-remote I/O (rack-optimized) modules
• Produced and consumed tags
• Messages
• Access via the controller programming software
• Access via RSLinx® software for HMI or other applications
You indirectly determine the number of connections the controller uses by configuring the controller to communicate with
other devices in the system. The limit of connections may ultimately reside in the communication module you use for the
connection. If a message path routes through a communication module, the connection related to the message also counts
towards the connection limit of that communication module.
The 1756-L6
and 1756-L6xS controllers support 250 connections; the 1756-L7and 1756-L7xS controllers support 500. 
To calculate the total connections for a controller, consider the connections to local I/O modules and the connections to
remote modules. Use this table to figure local connections.

1756 ControlLogix Controllers
Regardless of how you configure local I/O modules (rack-optimized or direct connect), the controller establishes a direct
connection for each local I/O module. Remote connections depend on the communication module. The number of
connections the module supports determines how many connections the controller can access through that module. Use
this table to figure remote connections for the controller.
ControlLogix Controller Accessories
You can use the following accessories with ControlLogix controllers.
Memory Cards
Memory cards offer nonvolatile memory to permanently store a user program and tag data on a controller. The 1756-L7
x 
ControlLogix controller comes with the 1784-SD1 Secure Digital (SD) card already installed in every controller. The
1756-L6
x controllers support optional CompactFlash cards purchased separately. The memory cards are installed in a 
socket on the controller. Through the programming software, you can manually trigger the controller to save to, or load
from, nonvolatile memory or configure the controller to load from nonvolatile memory on powerup.

Capacitor energy storage module (removable,
no residual WallClockTime power backup).
Use this ESM if your application requires that
the installed ESM deplete its residual energy
to 40 µJ or less before transporting it into or
out of your application. Additionally, you can
use this ESM with a 1756-L73 (8 MB) or
smaller memory-sized controller only.
Wait at least 20 minutes for the residual 
stored energy to decrease to 40 µJ or less
before you remove the ESM.
Capacitor energy storage module

preventing USB connection an d SD card use).
If the SD card is installed prior to insertion of
the 1756-ESMNRM module, the SD card

Each ControlLogix controller ships with a battery. The 1756-L6
x controllers have nonvolatile memory if you install a 
1784-CF128 industrial CompactFlash card. With nonvolatile memory, the controller can be used without a battery. If you
do not use a battery, current tag data will remain in the state it was when the nonvolatile memory was saved.
These tables summarize battery life, replacement battery compatibility, and recommendations for use of an
externally-mounted battery assembly.
