1. Introduction


The Allen-Bradley 1762-L40BXB is a member of the MicroLogix 1200

family of miniature PLC systems from Allen-Bradley designed for

industrial use. It has been integrated into a didactic environment in the

Festo Didactic ER format for use in vocational and further training. As

such it can be used in the ER cabinet frames of the Festo Didactic

equipment system or as a table unit or on a slotted assembly board.

The digital inputs and outputs are wired up to two SysLink plugs

(IEEE 488). The pin allocation corresponds to the SysLink interface of

the modular production system (MPS) of Festo Didactic.

2. Design and function

6 © Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. AG • Allen-Bradley EduTrainer® ML1200

EduTrainers ML1200 Order no. 535811 are equipped with the new

compact version of the MicroLogix 1200 series (Type 1762-L40BXB)

Order no. 535826. The Allen-Bradley EduTrainer® ML1200 is connected

to the PC via a serial interface cable on the CPU and programmed using

the RSLogix 500 Professional Software, Order No. 535827 (Type 9324-

RL0700NXENE), or RSLogix 500 Starter Software, Order No. 535829

(Type 9324-RL0100ENE).

The Allen-Bradley EduTrainer® ML1200 consists of:

• 1762-L40BXB PLC

• For the purpose of process simulation (COSIVIS, COSIMIR® PLC,

EasyVeep), the Allen-Bradley EduTrainer® ML1200 can communicate

with the Interface EasyPort, Order No. 167121 via the SysLink

interfaces using cable Order No. 167106.

The EasyPort must not be connected to a separate power supply if this

cable is used, since the voltage to the Allen-Bradley EduTrainer®

ML1200 is supplied via the cable.

2. Design and function


• The digital simulation box, Order No. 170643 can be connected via

the cable Order No. 034031 for the generation of binary input and

display of binary output signals.

The simulation box does not need to be connected to a separate voltage

supply if this cable is used, since the voltage supply from the Allen-

Bradley EduTrainer® ML1200 is transmitted via that cable.

• The universal terminal unit (SysLink) Order No. 162231, equipped

with the same interface, can be connected via the cable Order No.

034031, and the actuators and sensors connected via 4 mm fail-safe

plug.

(See also „Examples for the connection of Festo Didactic components

for the Allen-Bradley EduTrainer® ML1200“ in this document.)

The voltage supply must be supplied by an external 24 V DC source. The

power supply units from Festo Didactic are suitable for this and are

available in the form of a function card model for the ER-cabinet frames

or in the form of a table model.

• The Allen-Bradley EduTrainer® ML1200 can be used in an ER cabinet

frame of the Festo Didactic equipment system.

• The Allen-Bradley EduTrainer® ML1200 can be mounted on a slotted

assembly board or in the form of a table unit. 4 Adaptors Order No.

323571 are required for use on the slotted assembly board.

• The digital inputs and outputs are wired up to two SysLink plugs

(IEEE 488). The pin allocation corresponds to the SysLink interface

of the Modular Production system (MPS) from Festo Didactic.

(The precise plug allocation can be found in the contact allocation table

of this document.)

3. Programming software, documentation, teachware


The programming of the Allen-Bradley EduTrainer ML1200 is effected

via the programming software RSLogix 500 Professional Software Order

No. 535828 (Type 9324-RL0700NXENE) or RSLogix 500 Starter

Software, Order No. 535829 (Type 9324-RL0100ENE), which gives you

the ability to program in ladder logic.

You will need a serial cable, Order No. 535827 (Type 1762-CBL-PM02)

to connect the Allen-Bradley EduTrainer ML1200 to the serial interface

of the PC.

The Allen-Bradley Operational manual has Order No. 535819 (Type

1762-UM001B-EN-P) on CD-ROM.

4 24 V safety sockets

5 SysLink interfaces for digital values

The two sockets marked with Emergency-Stop must be bridged with the

short-circuit plug provided in order to provide the voltage supply to the

digital outputs. If the Emergency-Stop function is integrated, then the

Emergency-Stop device (normally closed contact) must be connected to

these sockets. The voltage supply of the outputs (output byte 0) is

interrupted if this normally closed contact is actuated.

7. Notes on safety


The Allen-Bradley EduTrainer® is designed to the latest state of the art

technology and is in compliance with recognised safety regulations.

However, if used incorrectly, there is a danger of injury or fatality to the

user or third parties and of damage to the EduTrainers®.

The Allen-Bradley EduTrainer® should therefore only be used

• For its intended use in teaching and training establishments

• In absolutely safe condition

Malfunctions which may impair safety should not occur during training

sessions and if so should be rectified immediately.
