FAQs:
Does the 1756-A13 chassis include a power supply?
No, the 1756-A13 is a chassis only and does not include a power supply. You must purchase separate 1756-PAxx (AC input) or 1756-PBxx (DC input) power supply modules to operate the system.
What is the maximum number of modules this chassis can accommodate?
The 1756-A13 provides 13 slots for housing ControlLogix processors, I/O modules, communication modules, and specialty modules, allowing for large and complex automation system configurations.
What environmental protection does this chassis provide?
The chassis has an IP20 protection rating, which provides limited protection against dust and moisture. For additional environmental protection, it should be installed in an appropriate industrial enclosure.
Can ControlLogix processors be placed in any slot of this chassis?
ControlLogix processors can be placed in any slot except the rightmost slot, which is typically reserved for communication modules in standard configurations.
