Allen Bradley 1785 L40E

The Allen Bradley 1785 L40E is equipped with 48K program memory and has an independent Ethernet communication interface. It is compatible with DH+ and remote IO networking and supports large-capacity point control. It is one of the few high-end models with a network port in the PLC 5 series. It is widely used in large-scale old automatic control systems in industries such as chemical engineering, power plants, metallurgy, and automobiles. As a senior cross-border industrial suppliers, Feimu Technology focus on the class out of print production module, screening, testing and supply security equipment compatibility, stable communications, computer use.

Installation Process

Power check:

Turn off the power supply of the PLC system and confirm that the rack and communication line are in a safe state.

Install processor module:

Insert the Allen Bradley 1785 L40E PLC - 5 corresponding rack slot, fixed module and connect back.

Connection communication lines:

Based on the system demand for connecting Ethernet and DH + or Remote I/O communication interface.

Power on Test:

Open the power supply, check the CPU status indicator light, make sure the module normal boot.

Application configuration:

Use RSLogix 5 to connect the processor, download the program and check the I/O and communication parameters.

Run the test:

Verification of PLC communication and control functions for program execution and site, confirm the normal operation of system.

Real cases and customer evaluations

A thermal power plant's auxiliary control system adopted the PLC-5 Ethernet architecture. The main control unit of Allen Bradley 1785 L40E aged and malfunctioned, and it was difficult to find reliable suppliers throughout the network. Feimud Technology provided full inspection of original good products, which were perfectly compatible with the original program and network configuration, and solved the equipment failure at one time, ensuring the continuous safe production of the power plant.

Power plant automation engineer: The old CPU with network ports of L40E is very scarce. Compared with many others, only Feimud's supply is reliable. The on-machine communication is stable, and the inspection reports are complete.
